Diamond Head-Kahala

Kahala Avenue

A century of homebuilding on Kahala Avenue has produced an appealing streetscape with virtually every architectural style represented…from Plantation to modern and cutting-edge contemporary, and even a few Tudor-inspired designs. Older homes are typically set in landscaped yards with mature gardens and trees. Newer additions to the mix often feature elaborate entries and decorative gates. Homes on both sides of the nearly two-mile route that extends from the end of Diamond Head Road to the Kahala Hotel and Resort are generally well maintained and in various stages of remodeling…which, together with lot sizes, are factors that affect price.

Michael DeMello, a Realtor with Redfin Corporation, has recently listed a vintage home on Kahala Avenue for $2,339,000. Built in 1930, the home was completely remodeled in 2015. The 9,070-square-foot property, a corner lot located at 4337 Kahala Avenue, is extensively landscaped and fenced for privacy. In addition to the main home with a spacious 2,397-square-foot interior augmented by a 168-square-foot lanai, the property includes a cottage with a bedroom and bath and separate entrance from Royal Place. The primary residence includes three bedrooms and two baths, including a luxurious master suite, all on their own landing for added privacy, and a dining room. The paved covered patio provides additional space for dining. The kitchen has modern touches with stainless steel appliances and solid countertops.

Additional amenities include hardwood floors, central air conditioning, a ceiling fan, and chandelier. A carport is located on the property, which can also accommodate three additional vehicles in the curved, landscaped entry driveway..

“This home has a traditional exterior and completely updated, bright and modern interior,” DeMello said. “The spaciousness inside the home with its vaulted, open beam ceilings and out in the vast landscaped yard will have you envisioning gatherings with family and friends. A separate and private renovated cottage has its own lanai and outdoor space. There is even an outdoor shower to wash off the sand after coming back from the beach and half bathroom for convenience of guests at outdoor parties.

“The location is ideal, with its proximity to Kahala’s sandy beaches, the Waialae Country Club, Kahala Hotel and Resort, and Kahala Mall.”
