Open House Pick of the Week: Maunalani Heights

Amazing views from the top of the hill.

May 29, 2015

Melissa Chang,

Today’s open-house pick is a nice home, but the most outstanding feature is the view, thanks to its location at the top of Maunalani Heights. Realtor John Peterson also has two new listings next door, so you can ask him about those, too.

This home was built in 1979, but you wouldn’t know it, thanks to upgrades that enhance the modern design. The interesting and thoughtful floor plan includes a recently remodeled kitchen with dining area, a large, light-filled living room with high ceilings and a formal dining room (or office) on the main level.

There are four bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms; the huge master bed/bath is on the second level and the rest are on the lower level.

The lot is a whopping 11,346 square feet, and the multilevel home offers 3,841 square feet of living area.

Since it’s at the top of the hill, the home overlooks Wai‘alae Nui valley across to Wai‘alae Nui Ridge, Kāhala, the coastline and the ocean. The location makes you feel like it’s your own private ridge. Active people will be happy to know that the Mau‘umae hiking trail is close by, and Maunalani Community Park is just a few blocks away.

This new listing will have its first open on Sunday, May 31, from 2 to 5 p.m. Click here for details.

Peterson just listed two vacant lots next door, so check them out while you’re there. Lot A is more than an acre and listed for $1,995,000 but can also be purchased with plans, permits and construction of a custom-designed Ossipoff-inspired home for $3,995,000. Lot C is listed at $845,000. Both lots are part of an exclusive three-home gated community on Maunalani Circle.

Happy house hunting!
