With an asking price of $589,000, a one-bedroom, one-bath cottage located at 99-139 Nāpuanani Road No. 2 is the lowest priced single-family home currently on the market in the ‘Aiea Heights neighborhood.
The home sits on a quarter-acre parcel. Listing agent Jennifer Peele, with Royal Realty, said it's one of five homes constructed on a larger property that was later subdivided through a condominium property regime.
It has an open concept kitchen and living room, and a total of 600 square feet of living space, "so it's definitely open space, cozy," Peele told Aloha State Daily last week, also noting that there's a balcony and green space as well as a shed on the property that can be converted to something else that fits the buyers' needs.
And if you like gardening, Peele said there's land in front where prospective homeowners can "get creative and do whatever type of gardening that the buyer would want to do."
"The single-wall wood frame construction and level lot add to its charm, while the garden view creates a relaxing ambiance," the listing notes. "With a low HOA fee and proximity to local amenities, this property is a fantastic alternative to high-maintenance condos or townhouses."
Fees for the Turner Condominium Homeowners Association LLC total $104 per month, and cover common areas, yard and grounds maintenance, HOA savings, insurance and taxes, according to information provided by Peele.
This is a seemingly rare offering in ‘Aiea Heights. Peele said it was hard to find comparables to even price the home.
"I haven't seen a house like this in a while, so it's a rare opportunity to be a homeowner [of] a single-family home here in Hawai‘i for a price point under $600,000," she said. "Even though it's a one-bedroom, it'll be perfect for a cute little couple or even a single man that wants to get away from the busyness [of town]. When you drive down Chester Way, and you're on the property, it's just really peaceful and quiet and just the scenery of green everywhere is really nice."
As for the community itself, Peele said ‘Aiea Heights is an older neighborhood in the mountains, but there are restaurants, shopping and recreation close by — and it's not far from Pearlridge Center and everything Pearlridge has to offer.
A four-bedroom home at 99-720 Puluniu Loop listed for $1,588,000 is the highest-priced single-family home on the market in ‘Aiea Heights, according to the HiCentral MLS. You can see the full listing here.
