| Description | Wake up to Diamond Head views from your bed and catch gorgeous ocean glimpses from the spacious wrap-around lanai. This breezy, light-filled, private end unit 1BR features expansive, approximately 9 ft ceilings (found on 5th floor only), a beautifully updated kitchen and bath with high-end appliances and quartz countertops, built-in foyer storage, and an integrated kitchen water filtration system. Large onsite storage unit included; bike and surfboard storage available. Set within an iconic, Japanese-inspired building designed by Herbert Beyer with signature turquoise arched bridges and shoji doors, the Ambassador is very well maintained — a reinforced seawall, recently addressed spalling and repainted, with the plumbing fully replaced and the assessment paid in full by the current owner. Enjoy a rarely available oceanside private pool, sunset lawn, and exclusive steps leading directly to the ocean. Steps from Kapiolani Park, local surf breaks, snorkeling, and Waikiki dining, the best of Honolulu’s Gold Coast is finally here! Square footage may not match tax records. |
