Villa for sale in Honolulu Maunalua Bay - Oahu

For Sale

Set within a peaceful and private estate in one of Oahu’s finest residential areas on the eastside of Honolulu, this is truly a magnificent property. Drive through the property’s main gate and follow the driveway to a three-car garage and parking area for ten or more vehicles inside a secure motor court. If you think this is a distinguished way of arriving at a fine villa then a further pleasure awaits.

You will find no grand, pompous entrance here, but rather an exquisite walkway through a Balinese gate and across a delightful limestone pavement that crosses a Japanese style lily pond. Clearly inspired by Oriental and Tropical Asian architectural styling, this intimate and inspiring way of entering the property sums up its understated elegance and a paradisiacal ambience enhanced by luxuriant Hawaiian plants and flowers.

Inside, the rooms are spacious whilst retaining comfort and intimacy – tasteful and elegant whilst remaining homely. Indeed, this is a property that balances the demands for form and function with rare aplomb, creating in the process not only a living environment of great quality but also an ambience to savour. Combined with its privileged setting right out on Honolulu’s Pacific shores, this is nothing short of a dream house.

What is all the more impressive is the fact that this is achieved without the need for architectural or decorative theatrics, or any form of vulgar kitsch. This is a lived in home with pedigree, sporting tall ceilings, magnificent views from most rooms and the kind of Hawaiian colonial styling with Asian and Polynesian touches that blends in harmoniously with its surroundings.

The colonial style ceilings, complete with practical fans, display an interplay of wooden beams and bamboo, while the window frames and magnificent floors are also made of tropical woods. An attractive and fully functional modern kitchen that fits right into the home features SubZero refrigerators and a Thermador oven and extractor among a long list of high end specifications. The 1,000-bottle wine cellar also doubles as a pantry.

The villa has four spacious bedroom suites, a guest cloakroom and a private office, with the main bedroom suite taking pride of place for its graceful styling and its stunning sea views. It also offers a spacious dressing room and a granite bathroom with large step-in shower and sunken tub. As everywhere in the house, the suite’s elegant styling belies the presence of modern luxuries such as air-conditioning, a bar fridge and a plasma screen TV.

The spacious, open flowing living room unfolds to a terrace covered in limestone paving that surrounds a gorgeous swimming pool and deck area enveloped by the lush greenery of a landscaped garden. From here, the private beach and bay are just a few paces away. Balinese carvings adorn this private oasis, where a large covered lanai offers a private spa experience with outdoor bath and rain shower.

Furniture not included.
