Designed by award-winning local architect Jim Schmit, known for tropical modernism and island sensibility, this residence is designed to live among the trees and belong to this coveted neighborhood.

Description: Nuuanu Valley doesn't need much introduction to buyers who know Honolulu. Dowsett is among its most established enclaves, and lots of this scale rarely surface here. At 15,636 square feet, the site sits just above Nuuanu Stream. The sound of moving water is a given. So is the privacy. The upper valley's cooler temperatures and consistent greenery make it one of the few places on Oahu where a home can feel genuinely removed from the city while remaining close to it. Downtown Honolulu is minutes away. The neighborhood itself has the kind of quiet permanence that comes from decades of careful stewardship, mature trees, established homes, and streets that haven't changed much because the people who live here prefer it that way. For the buyer who wants to build something considered and lasting, this lot offers the right conditions. It is priced to move, and the market here will respond to that. Buyers who have been watching Dowsett know what this kind of opportunity looks like, and they don't wait. Good bones start with good land, and at this price point, this won't last. Also listed as Land on MLS #202609851.

Description: When a residence transcends architecture, it becomes a work of art. Set across 1.81 acres in the misted beauty of Nuuanu, LIHIWAI is one of Hawaii’s most iconic historic estates, a rare convergence of land, design, and legacy in a truly cinematic setting.
Originally built between 1927 and 1929 for Territorial Governor George R. Carter and designed by Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue, the home has been completely restored and is offered following a meticulous renovation by Welch & Weeks, a museum-quality restoration for modern living.
Gracious volumes, natural light, and a refined material palette, including ohia hardwood, old-growth redwood, plaster, bronze windows, and limestone, create spaces that feel both expansive yet intimate.
The four-bedroom, seven-bathroom main residence is complemented by two guest homes. The grounds unfold as a private sanctuary with a natural auwai, flowing stream, dramatic waterfall, and heated saltwater pool and spa.
Set within Nuuanu Valley, this is a composition of historic pedigree, quiet luxury, and natural beauty. A legacy estate, now coming to market.
