| Description | Set on a level lot along coveted Papu Circle, this residence is a refined expression of Mid-Century modern design, defined by clean lines, thoughtful proportions, & a seamless connection to its natural surroundings. Elevated above the iconic Shangri La Museum, the former estate of Doris Duke, the home captures rare, expansive ocean views stretching down to Diamond Head Beach below. Large windows invite natural light throughout, framing the ever changing blues of the Pacific while blurring the line between interior & exterior living. The architecture honors its origins while incorporating modern updates, resulting in a residence that is move-in ready! An expansive front yard, 2-car garage, & bonus room w/ half bath add flexibility and ease to everyday living. Homes in this highly desired location rarely come to market. The property is just moments from sandy Cromwell’s Beach & the surfing access at Kaikoo Place. This location offers a 180 degree view and access to the coastline. With proximity to hiking, ocean activities, shopping and dining, this is an exceptional opportunity within one of Honolulu’s most storied neighborhoods! *Listing details may differ from tax records. |
