About This Home
Perched above the city in a tranquil, forested enclave, this rare mid-century modern is surrounded by one of the most imaginative private gardens on the island. Featured in Honolulu Magazine and a TV show, the landscape is as much as a showcase as the home itself. This private one-of-a-kind retreat is designed by prominent architect Charles Chamberland. It offers 4 bedrooms, 3 baths across 4 levels totaling 3,000 sqft interior, with a versatile multigenerational layout. Freshly painted, new carpet and featuring soaring ceilings and expansive windows that bring the forest indoors. Beautiful open-concept kitchen with marble floors, mahogany cabinetry, butcher block counters. Loft-style primary bedroom. Set on verdant, terraced grounds with over 100 magnolia trees and tropical plantings, the mountainside garden is masterfully curated: 7 sitting areas, 4 winding trails, 2 waterfalls, ponds and a collection of fountains amid by a vibrant tapestry of staghorn ferns, anthuriums, orchids, bromeliads and blooming angel trumpets. A scenic landing with peekaboo ocean views provide peaceful moments of escape with 190 steps to the summit. 5 photos have been enhanced. Sold "as is."
