The one and only C. W. Dickey Beach Cottage is the architectural crown jewel of Honolulu’s Gold Coast. Never on the market in at least 80 years, this rare masterpiece is on the National Register of Historic Places. Live a lifestyle of charm and wonder on the quietest block of famous Kalakaua Avenue, across the street from the turquoise ocean. This prized section of the Diamond Head neighborhood is just up the beach from Waikiki. Surfing, paddling, tennis, park activities, fine restaurants, and outdoor cafes are all close at hand. Through a wide, edamame-green front door, you’ll enter the spacious living room featuring cool concrete floors and high ceilings, freshly painted. In back is an enchanting lanai with tile artwork, overlooking a private yard and fishpond. We hope you are the next lucky owner, cooling after your day at the beach in the shade of your very own Dickey Roof, the icon of the islands. Dickey designed many of Hawaii’s loveliest buildings including the classic Halekulani Hotel, and this was his own home, sold in 1945 to its current family. Don’t miss this chance of a lifetime.
