Long before Hawaii was a state, Honolulu and surrounding areas were already growing rapidly. Today’s home in the historic neighborhood of Manoa was built in 1926, when Hawaii was still a republic and is listed on the state’s historical register.
The six-bedroom home has a Georgian Revival style with Craftsman details. There is a four-bedroom main house with a two-bedroom apartment.
On the main level of the house a large screened in front porch provides a gracious retreat from the world.
After entering through the porch you come into the grand living room. Wood floors, the spaciousness and the windows give the home a welcoming feel.
The dining room divides the living room and the den and opens out to the brick patio in the backyard.
The den has the typical old-style Hawaiian punei for lounging, built in cabinets for office space, and even a brick fireplace.
There is a sitting room with a window seat and built in china cabinets between the formal dining room and kitchen.
The kitchen has a view of Diamond Head and there is an attached sunroom with a casual dining space also with the great view, and an outdoor lanai for outdoor dining and viewing pleasure.
