| Description | Perched on the slopes of Punchbowl, this centrally located Honolulu home offers panoramic views of the city and a lifestyle of true urban convenience. The main level features a bright and open living area with refinished parquet floors and a spacious deck that captures sweeping city views. Upstairs is a private primary suite with adjacent office, while the lower level includes two additional bedrooms, a bath, a wet bar, and a separate entrance — ideal for rental income or multigenerational living. Handcrafted stained glass window detailing on both the main and upper levels adds character. The home is equipped with central A/C and solar panels keep electricity costs minimal. Its location is in line with the Capitol and Iolani Palace, preserving the view plane from future development. Watch cruise ships and barges sail in and enjoy sunsets over the city. Ideally situated just minutes from Downtown and the freeway, this property is also close to schools — including Punahou, Maryknoll, and Hanahauoli, as well as major hospitals and UH. Located in the heart of Honolulu and near the vibrant, growing Kakaako community, this home is a rare find that offers both charm and opportunity. |
