Italian villa in Manoa is a modern masterpiece
We’re heading to Manoa for this week’s open-house picks, both of which are historic properties.
Manoa has it all--location, amenities and stately, historic homes. Unfortunately, those perks come with a hefty price tag: Last month, the median sales price of a single-family home in Manoa was $986,000.
Manoa Valley Inn is one of the neighborhood’s most iconic residences, and certainly one of the island’s most charming historic homes. Built in 1911, the residence was formerly known as the John Guild House, named after the secretary of Alexander & Baldwin who acquired and renovated the property to its current form in 1919. In fact, the home, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, has been owned by several prominent local figures throughout its history.
