| Description | Just 1.5 blocks from Waikiki Beach, this rare penthouse at sought-after Scandia Towers combines exceptional scale, Ocean and Diamond Head views, and the flexibility of a legal short-term rental within Waikiki’s hotel and resort zone. Offering nearly 1,700 square feet of interior living space, the fully renovated 2-bedroom, 2-bath residence is complemented by more than 300 square feet of additional private outdoor lanai looking out to the Pacific Ocean. The expansive footprint, the remarkable view, corner-unit positioning, and highly walkable location come together to create a residence equally suited for a one of a kind pied-à-terre or those seeking the flexibility of a legally permitted successful short-term rental grossing nearly $200,000 last year. The unit also features a covered parking stall, full-size washer and dryer, and split AC in all rooms. Ideally positioned within the prime location of Waikiki, the residence is moments from the Waikiki Beach, Honolulu Zoo, Kapiolani Park, and the dining, shopping, and entertainment of Kalakaua and Kuhio Avenues. This is an exceptional opportunity to own a truly distinctive penthouse in the heart of Waikiki. |
