Historic home at entry to Manoa Valley AVAILABLE JULY 1, 2021 - This privately gated, four-bedroom, three-bath restored historic home on Judd Hillside Road, sits on a terraced hillside at the entry to Manoa Valley across from Punahou School. The home was designed in the early 1930’s by renowned architect Hart Wood, one of the principal proponents of a distinctive “Hawaiian style” of architecture appropriate to the local environment and reflective of the cultural heritage of the islands. It has been restored several times over the years and today, blends contemporary finishes with the character and charm of its original design.

The property features a “main house” of three bedrooms and two baths surrounding an open floor plan of kitchen, dining and main living room. An open-beam ceiling with exposed trusses allow extensive natural light to permeate the home while native Hawaiian o’hia wood flooring provides a warm, elegant finish to the main living space. A red brick lanai overlooks a beautifully landscaped garden and faces out to the Koolau Mountains to the north and the Waikiki skyline and ocean to the south. The tastefully renovated kitchen is a chef’s dream, being recently restored with new cabinets and appliances in 2019. Bedrooms are spacious, provide excellent storage, and are all fully air-conditioned with individual “split” systems.

The bright, studio cottage enjoys a separate entry and features a vaulted ceiling with skylights, “split” a/c, new solid oak floor, kitchenette, private bathroom, and separate lanai - an ideal extension for family or visiting friends. The property includes a three-car enclosed garage and an extensive landscape design that fits the lush, tropical nature of this popular area of Oahu which is ideally situated to provide easy access to Waikiki Beach, downtown Honolulu, Ala Moana Shopping Center, the University of Hawaii, hospitals and the freeways - all between 5-15 minutes away.

This is a unique opportunity to reside in one of Oahu’s classic neighborhoods and most prominent addresses. The property is being offered unfurnished for long term rent only, minimum 6 month lease, starting July 1, 2021. Pets negotiable.
