Three Lovelies of Lanikai - Part 2.

As promised, here are the pictures of the second place we saw yesterday. This house was built in 1935, and immaculately restored by the owner who is also an architect.  I took quite a few photos of this property, because not only did it have many interesting architectural details, it was also beautifully staged. I wish realtors would spend more time in and thought in staging homes.  It really makes a difference.


 Gecko bell greets visitors at the gate



 A large Bird of Paradise plant by the steps leading up to the house


 Boulders in the hillside are incorporated to the landscape


 An aloe plant at the upstairs entry


 Lauhala mat and a settee on the porch


 The upstairs living room


 Master bedroom


 The kitchen is a happy green


 Island touches in art and decorations


 A tiny hidden powder room with open latticework


 I just want to sit down at that table. Don't you?


 Ocean views from the upstairs deck


 Love the simplicity of the outdoor shower


 Peekaboo views of the neighbor's garden


 The relaxing downstairs porch


 Outdoor pizza oven and a lounge chair


 Downstairs kitchen opens to the yard


 Pale clean colors in this small kitchen 


 Downstairs living and bedroom


 Old vent grates are now part of the central air conditioning system



 Blooming bromeliads flank the downstairs entry



 A lantern guards the stairs

Got a little carried away here and posted quite a lot of pictures, but  this place was just so charming. For $1.5 million, it can be yours.  Click the link to Debbie's site if you are interested.  

Tomorrow I will post about the third house, probably my favorite of the three.  The views there were to die for.  Until then, aloha!
