| Description | “House of Blue Heaven” — an extraordinary Diamond Head estate where architectural heritage meets timeless luxury. Originally designed in 1931 by renowned Hawaii architect Hart Wood, a pioneer of Hawaiian Regional architecture, this distinguished residence reflects his signature fusion of tropical indoor-outdoor living with Japanese and Asian-inspired design. Thoughtfully remodeled by celebrated architect Jeff Long in 1995, the home preserves its historic character while offering refined modern living. This 4-bedroom, 5.5-bath residence encompasses nearly 5,900 sq. ft. of interior living space on an 11,752 sq. ft. lot, with beautiful ocean and sunset views. Soaring ceilings enhance the home’s grand scale and invite abundant natural light throughout. Expansive lanais, a heated pool and spa, and sophisticated indoor-outdoor spaces create an exceptional setting for entertaining and relaxing. Separate guest quarters with private entrance provide flexibility and privacy. Just moments from Kapiolani Park, the Gold Coast, world-famous beaches, and Waikiki’s renowned dining and shopping, this is a remarkable expression of Hawaii architectural history and elevated island living. |
