Historic but fully renovated 1929 Colonial Revival in Alewa Heights, Honolulu | $2.3M

A four bedroom, three and a half bath Colonial Revival home built in 1929 in Alewa Heights, on the ridge above Honolulu Harbor, listed at $2,300,000 fee simple. The unusual part is the tax. The home is on the Hawaii historic property register, and the listing reports the annual property tax at roughly $300 rather than the tens of thousands a property at this assessed value would normally carry. A historic dedication comes with ongoing requirements, and the City and County of Honolulu can confirm the current terms. The house is 3,710 square feet across three levels and came through a comprehensive 2026 remodel guided by a preservation architect, which is why the period detail reads as restored rather than reproduced. A classic column entry opens to archways and French doors. Inside are restored divided-light windows, candle-style sconces, glass doorknobs, plank ceilings, wainscoting, and a turned-baluster stair with a mission-inspired newel post. The modern work underneath is just as thorough. The interior was fully repainted with new luxury vinyl plank flooring, updated fixtures, stone and tile counters and backsplashes, and dimmable recessed lighting throughout. The electrical was rebuilt with a new panel and the plumbing updated. The main level holds a modernized kitchen, a formal dining room, a living room, a study and a breakfast room. The primary suite was redesigned with a walk-in closet and opens into a roughly 250 square foot original sunroom with paned windows, which works as an office or a lounge. On the ground level there is a separate one bedroom, one bath suite with its own full bath, suited to guests or extended family. The hillside setting delivers views of Diamond Head, downtown Honolulu, the harbor and the coastline, with ocean and sunset from the same elevation. The home runs on 27 owned photovoltaic panels with two Enphase batteries and net metering, so most of the electricity is self-supplied. There are four parking spaces between the two car carport and the driveway, a covered lanai, and no homeowners association. Alewa Heights is the ridge rising above Kalihi and Liliha in Honolulu's metro area, a short drive from downtown and the harbor. The homes date largely from the 1920s through the 1950s, the road climbs steadily, and the elevation is the point: the upper lots look across the harbor and the city all the way out to Diamond Head. Close to town, and set apart from it. Want the full listing sheet or a private showing? Message us and we will send everything over.
