North Shore Beach House at Bathtub Beach …

Drift off to sleep with the soothing sound of waves, watch the sun rise over the ocean, & live the Oahu, Hawaii beach house lifestyle you’ve always dreamed of. Oahu real estate like this is hard to find, with most beachfront homes and waterfront homes on Oahu far-exceeding this price point.

Down a semi-private flag lane, this oceanfront property on Oahu is a waterfront retreat at Bathtub Beach … a soft sandy beach, right next door, depending upon the tide and season.  Bathtub Beach is a unique shallow sandy pool area, perfect for sunning and swimming. Your Oahu real estate fronting this special spot is a bonus!

Keiki go crabbing & play in a calm lagoon. It’s like having a huge, infinity edge, saltwater swimming pool in your backyard!  Further out are reefs for snorkeling & surf breaks. You may even see our favorite visitor, the Hawaiian Monk seal. 

Laie Oahu Beach House2

Unlike most Oahu real estate in this area, this Oahu beach house is set back on the lot, so there’s a large, grassy lawn for play. 

There’s also a large, protected, covered lanai for indoor-outdoor living & a warm outdoor shower to rinse-off. 

Laie Oahu Beach House 3

The kitchen has attractive concrete counters & a dishwasher, along with the standard appliances.

Wood accents, vaulted ceilings, and a skylight add style to this contemporary Oahu beach house.

Honolulu Real Estate | Kapahulu Multi-Family Home, New Construction!

Honolulu Real Estate in Kapahulu - 3148 Hayden Street, Honolulu 96815
Listed at $1,850,000 FS

It’s difficult to find tastefully built, new construction Honolulu Real Estate in popular beachside areas such as Kapahulu. This Honolulu home for sale is quite unique, as it affords a great Oahu location in Kapahulu, Honolulu, near both Kapahulu and Monsarrat shopping/dining/business districts, as well as a just a short distance to Kapiolani Park, Waikiki Shell, Diamond Head State Park, the Zoo, the Aquarium, and Waikiki Beach.

It is also large enough to accomodate extended family or possibly tenants, for rental income. This home has a very flexible configuration.

This Kapahulu Oahu home has 7 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, along with a family room and rumpus room with a wet bar. When all areas of this home have been rented, with long term rentals, income has approached $10,000 a month.

There is high quality, durable wood laminate flooring throughout. Upstairs portions of the home have city light and Diamond Head views. And did I mention, this is a fantastic location?

All living areas have ceiling fans and there is split air in the front portion of the home. Kitchen and bath counters are all quartz and these areas feature wood cabinetry and stainless steel finish/gas appliances. The area shown in these photos is the upstairs Rumpus Room.

All windows have plantation style blinds. This Kapahulu home also features recessed lighting and wide hallways. Bathrooms are spacious and use beautiful finishes, such as quartz counters and marble tile tub surrounds.

This is truly a home which must be seen to fully appreciate the value. All areas except the Rumpus Room areas, shown in these photos, are currently tenant occupied, so require 48 hours notice to show.

463 Iana Street, Kailua, Oahu, Hawaii - Enchanted Lake Neighborhood

Some Kailua real estate locations are extra special, such as Iana Street in Kailua. In this Kailua area, most homes are on large, 10,000+ sq ft lots that front either the Mid Pacific Golf Course or the Kaelepulu Stream. Enchanted Lake’s Iana Street is a peaceful neighborhood, on a “no outlet” street, with sidewalks. It’s the type of place where people walk their dogs, jog down the block, and kids play in the streets. It seems that everyone here knows their neighbors.

This Kailua home for sale on Iana Street, has golf course frontage, and has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, with a 2,221 square feet interior.

The multiple living areas in this Kailua golf course home for sale are spacious and feature beautiful engineered wood floors and vaulted ceilings. 

The living areas, along with the master bedroom, feature fantastic Mid Pacific Golf Course views approaching the 7th Green.  The entire back of the house has large casement windows which open wide to allow the tradewinds to cool this Kailua home.  The living spaces also have storage cabinetry and several built-in bookshelves.

This charming Kailua home features a newly remodeled kitchen, with a brand new gas stove, quartz countertops, solid wood cabinetry and glass tile backsplash. There is lots of counter space, for convenient meal prep, and great storage. A separate laundry room is attached to the kitchen.

This Kailua home also has a dining room and a multi-purpose room, which leads to the expansive backyard.

Unusual for Kailua real estate, this home has a spacious master bedroom suite. This area features a separate dressing area, with two mirrored closets, and a remodeled bathroom with a large, pebble-tiled walk-in shower.

This Kailua home has two more bedrooms that face the front of the house and there is also a small office/bedroom off of the kitchen. (See slideshow below for photos.)

This Kailua golf course home features many upgrades, such as: new windows, split AC units in two bedrooms, newer engineered wood flooring, new lighting, new paint, landscaping, a new rock wall and vinyl fencing, new concrete drive and garage door, a tankless gas water heater, and a quartzite lanai. There is also outdoor storage space for surfboards and kayaks.

This Kailua real estate in the much sought-after Enchanted Lake School District is a great value, as it offers both a large living space and a huge yard, perfect for many recreational purposes.

Kailua Real Estate | Lanikai Beach Home Sold $1,650,000 FS

Right now, all great beach homes in Lanikai or elsewhere are in high demand. It used to be easier to find a home relatively near the beach for under $1.5M. Now it is rare to find anything within a block of the beach for under $1.8, unless it is on the other side (Mauka) of Kalaheo Avenue.  

My clients were overjoyed when we found this great Lanikai beach house listed at $1.5M. Because there was a lot of interest and multiple offers, the property sold for $1.65 in just the first few days on the market. Some of the things that make this home near Lanikai Beach awesome are its huge, over 14,000 sq ft, lot; the two giant monekypod trees that shade and beautify the yard, and the awesome gourmet kitchen.

This Kailua beach cottage was originally built in 1928, but has undergone several additions and even includes a separate cottage. With 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, and over 2300 sq ft, exclusive of the cottage, there is plenty of room to spread out.

If you are looking in Lanikai for the perfect home, or anywhere in the beachfront Kailua neighborhood, please contact Home Shoppe Hawaii. We’d be happy to help!

The Diamond Head Estate of Doris Duke | Honolulu Real Estate

A few days ago, I visited the home of Doris Duke (1912-1993) who was, at one time, one of the wealthiest women in the world. Doris Duke first visited Hawaii (along with various Muslim countries) on her honeymoon in 1935 and like many others, fell in love with our wonderful islands and decided to stay, at least seasonally.

NEW: Private and Exclusive Luxury Real Estate in Castle Point, Kailua, Oahu

If you desire an Oahu luxury homes neighborhood with a simple and relaxed notoriety, and a premium address in Kailua look no further. 7 Kailuana Place in the Beachside neighborhood of Kailua has been put on the market for the first time in over 40 years. This Castle Point address is among the most exclusive residences on Oahu.

At $5,500,000 this property is suprisingly well-priced for the area. The home itself, while quaint, interesting in its design to maximize the cooling tradewind breezes, and in original condition, is not the draw and will likely be torn down. Many newer luxury homes have gone up in the area and this is one of the last original homes. Other newer homes in the area have been sold for several millions more than this.

NEW: Honolulu Luxury Real Estate in Portlock, Hawaii Kai

I saw a beautiful new Portlock Hawaii Kai Listing for Sale at broker’s open today: 444 Portlock Road in Hawaii Kai.

This Portlock luxury home is a modern craftsman-style, wood home with 6 bedrooms and 5 baths. It has a potential to be split into a main home and 2 rental units, the way it is configured.  It has a great indoor outdoor kitchen area and a huge living area for entertaining.  The kitchen appliances are stainless and high-end, even with a built-in espresso maker and wine storage room.  This modern craftsman-style home is an unusual design, as it has a loft area above the living space. The Hawaii Kai luxury home home is owned by an expert carpenter and his fine work shows in the home. This Portlock home is actually a lot more beautiful in person than it is in the photos.

The Portlock Road area of Hawaii Kai is the most exclusive neighborhood in Hawaii Kai and one of the most prolific luxury home neighborhoods in Honolulu. The former Henry J. Kaiser Estate is on Portlock road in Hawaii Kai and some of the most expensive homes in Honolulu are on this street.   Some of the homes and waterfront or beachfront and many are on very large lots with goregous views of Maunalua Bay and Waikiki from across the bay.

Diamond Head Oahu Luxury Home with Detailing of a Historic Hawaii Home 

This is a fabulous, luxury Diamond Head home, built in 2007, with beautiful features at every turn. This Honolulu real estate on Noela Drive in one of Honolulu’s best neighborhoods is one of the most gorgeous homes I have ever seen on Oahu. I first visited this Diamond Head home when it was newly built and listed for sale in July of 2007. It was impressive then, and it is impressive now.  Only now, it is listed at a more attractive price of $9,000,000 versus the $11,900,000 price tag it originally had. I am told that the new price does not even cover the land and construction costs.

This Diamond Head home is ideally located: close to the beach, shopping and more, yet is a private Oasis. This 9,770 square foot Oahu luxury home sits on a huge tropically landscaped 28,962 square foot lot, featuring stunning views of the ocean and Waikiki coastline, including Kapiolani Park.  It has a wide front porch, bringing back the gracious feeling of Hawaii in days gone by, 5 spacious bedrooms and 7 and 1/2 bathrooms, multiple dining areas, a media room, and an elevator, among its many features. The exterior has period details and a marked, very charming craftsman bungalow historic style … in an updated sense, of course, as most real craftsman bungalows are not this large. Nor would they have so many splendid modern features. It is the best of both worlds with both the historic Oahu home style and new construction. Take a look …. 

Qualified buyers interested in viewing this gorgeous Oahu luxury home in Diamond Head Oahu, please contact Yvonne Jaramillo Ahearn at 808-721-8088. Listing courtesy of CB Pacific Properties.

The Most Expensive Home on Oahu is back on the market with a new listing agent (CB Pacific Properties) and a new list price of $24,950,000. This is a significant price reduction from $36,000,000, as it was first listed back in January of 2012. I was able to preview this property on Thursday, at Broker’s Open House, and was given permission to take photos of this amazing, unique Kailua beach estate. It is truly a one of a kind beachfront home in Hawaii.

This home is a custom, Kailua beachfront estate designed and developed by the well-known Kerr-Michaels Design partnership. Kerr-Michaels developed another Kailua beachfront estate sold last year at 604D N. Kalaheo, also beachfront in Kailua. Like the beachfront residence at 604D, this spectacular home features a beautiful signature spiral staircase to the second floor, and lots and lots of covered outdoor living space.

This Kailua beachfront property is resort-like, with a relaxed tropical style and incredible privacy. This estate property in Kailua consists of three parcels, totalling almost 1 1/2 acres of lush paradise. The outside features the privacy and solitude of being far off the main road and down a meandering landscaped drive. 

The main residence on this fabulous Kailua beach propert has 5 bedrooms and over 10,000 sq ft of lavish interior living and lanais. There is also a completely separate 3 bedroom guest house on the property, outside the main gate of the home. While every amenity is provided in this home, it is understated and not ostentatious. This beachfront Hawaii home is truly a haven where you can kick back, and put your feet up to relax.

This Kailua beachfront home features gorgeous, custom details, which include beautiful stonework and fabulous hardwood details and workmanship. The use of lava rock is amazing! There is a gourmet chef’s kitchen and a home theatre, as well. There is approximately 100 feet of property frontage on the sweet spot on Kailua Beach, one of the #1 rated beaches in the world. Kailua Beach is known for its soft, white sand and swimmable turquoise waters. Sports activities such as windsurfing, snorkeling, surfing, Stand-up paddling, outrigger canoeing, and kayaking are perfect here. This amazing location complements the seamless indoor/outdoor living space that makes this Oahu beachfront home simply exquisite.

The main house is set far back from the beach, as well behind and expansive lawn area. Recording artist, Beyonce has stayed here on vacation and there is a large landscaped privacy wall fronting the pool to help ensure that looky-loo neighbors cannot see into the pool area. It was rumored recently that this home was being purchased by President Obama, but that rumor is unfounded.  Certainly, it would meet his privacy requirements, and those of most any other celebrity. The entries to both the property and to the main home are gated. This home is conveniently located approximately 1 mile to the center of Kailua Town and about 30 minutes from Honolulu International Airport.
