Nestled on a quiet, tree lined section of Punchbowl crater, this custom retreat is a rare find in the heart of Honolulu! Completed in 2021 by a contractor for his family, the home showcases craftmanship and design touches seldom found at this price point. Designed to maximize a unique lot and offer exceptional flexibility, this 3-story single family residence features gracefully curving walls, a gently domed ceiling and thoughtful detailing with 5 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms. The interior staircase can be left open to access all levels or closed off dividing the home. The upper two floors become a 3-bedroom/2.5 bath, and the ground level a 2-bedroom/1 bath suite with its own entrance, ideal for multigenerational living, guests or rental income. A versatile one-car garage doubles as a workshop. Nicknamed “Chateau Bleu,” this well-constructed home sits on a curving, shady road accented by rock walls that add to its charm. This feels like an urban Shangri-la peacefully perched above the amenities of the city center.
