Mid-century modern living in the heart of Makiki
The Consulate, an 11-story condominium completed in 1965, stands as a testament to mid-century modern architecture in the vibrant Makiki neighborhood of Honolulu. With 65 units, this residential building offers a blend of urban convenience and island living. Its location provides residents with easy access to downtown Honolulu, Waikiki, and the University of Hawaii at Manoa. The building's design, while simple and functional, maximizes natural light and cross-ventilation, a hallmark of tropical living in Hawaii.
Spacious units with panoramic views and modern updates
The Consulate offers a range of 1 to 2-bedroom layouts, catering to various lifestyles and needs. The smallest units start at 731 square feet with one bedroom and one bathroom, while the largest two-bedroom units extend to 831 square feet, also featuring one bathroom. Prices for the two-bedroom units range from $380,000 to $447,100, reflecting the building's prime location and recent updates.
Many units boast floor-to-ceiling windows, providing ample natural light and stunning views of the city, mountains, and in some cases, partial views of Diamond Head and the Pacific Ocean. Corner units are particularly coveted for their enhanced privacy and cross-ventilation. Recent renovations in many units have introduced modern amenities such as stainless steel appliances, luxury vinyl plank flooring, and updated kitchen cabinets with granite countertops.
A standout feature of The Consulate is the generous lanai space, with some units boasting up to 100 square feet of outdoor living area. These lanais serve as perfect spots for enjoying Honolulu's year-round pleasant weather and taking in breathtaking sunsets. Inside, residents appreciate the convenience of in-unit washers and dryers, a rarity in many older Honolulu condos.
Energy efficiency is also a consideration, with some units featuring solar or blackout roller shades and new windows installed with proper permits. These upgrades not only enhance comfort but also contribute to lower utility costs. The building's unique zig-zag design, conceived by architect Clarence Yee, ensures that each unit maintains a sense of privacy despite the urban setting.
Refreshing saltwater pool and secure living
The Consulate offers a selection of amenities that cater to a comfortable, secure lifestyle. The centerpiece is a refreshing saltwater pool, providing a perfect spot for residents to cool off and relax. This feature is particularly appealing given Hawaii's warm climate and adds a touch of resort-like comfort to daily life.
Security is a priority at The Consulate, with the building featuring keyed elevator access and an intercom entry system. These measures ensure that residents feel safe and protected in their urban oasis. For those who enjoy cycling, a bike rack is available, encouraging an eco-friendly mode of transportation that aligns well with the neighborhood's good bikeability.
The building is pet-friendly, welcoming furry companions up to 20 pounds, which is a significant perk for animal lovers. Each unit comes with one assigned parking stall, a valuable amenity in the often parking-challenged Honolulu area. For added convenience, there's 24-hour access to the building, accommodating various lifestyles and work schedules.
A resident manager is on-site, ensuring prompt attention to any building-related issues and maintaining the property's overall condition. The Consulate also offers storage space, a practical feature for those looking to maximize their living areas. Recent upgrades to the elevator system and comprehensive plumbing improvements demonstrate the building's commitment to maintaining modern standards and resident comfort.
