Perched above the city in a serene, forested setting, this rare mid-century modern retreat is surrounded by one of the most extraordinary private gardens on the island. Featured in Honolulu Magazine and on TV, this private home was designed by noted architect Charles Chamberland and offers 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, and approximately 3,000 sqft of interior living space with a flexible multigenerational layout. Freshly painted with new carpet, the home features soaring ceilings, expansive windows, and an open concept design that brings the outdoors in. Kitchen includes marble flooring, mahogany cabinetry, and butcher block counters. Loft style primary suite. First-level safe room with hurricane shutters. Set on lush, terraced grounds with more than 100 magnolia trees, the mountainside garden is masterfully curated with 7 sitting areas, 4 winding trails, 2 waterfalls, ponds and a collection of fountains surrounded by vibrant staghorn ferns, anthuriums, orchids, bromeliads, and blooming angel trumpets. A scenic landing with peekaboo ocean views offers a peaceful place to unwind, with 190 steps leading to the summit. An unforgettable experience! 5 photos have been enhanced. Sold "as is.".
