With an asking price of $8.9 million, this oceanfront home at 221 Portlock Road is currently the highest priced property in East Honolulu's Portlock neighborhood.
Set on a sandy beach, the property boasts 7,461 square feet of living spaces. A five-bedroom main home has five full- and one half-bathrooms. An oceanfront primary suite with a lānai can be found on each level, the listing notes. There's a studio apartment above the three-car garage, as well.
Listing agent Kim Leslein Soares with Hawai‘i Life told Aloha State Daily in an email that the home's "open floor plan, high ceilings, timeless finishes and tropical landscaping" makes it unique.
According to the listing, the home features cathedral ceilings, travertine floors, a grand circular staircase and an open-concept layout, along with a high-end kitchen, gated grounds and direct beach access. Eight-foot pocket sliding doors open to a pool and spa, with ocean views.
"You could not build a new property today with the same degree [or] caliber of craftsmanship and finishes for the asking price, including the land," Soares said, noting, too, that it would take years to build something similar because of planning and permitting.
Soares says the ideal buyer is "anyone who appreciates the open coastline views from an outstanding custom haven, a beautiful sandy beachfront and miraculous watercolor sunsets!"
Take note that there are homeowner association fees.
Maunalua Bay Beach Ohana No. 29, which Soares says covers the area between the beach and the house, has "minimal annual dues" that cover property taxes and insurance, and the Portlock Community Association has annual dues of $120, which Soares says is not mandatory but "highly encouraged."
As of Friday, there were only four single-family homes for sale in Portlock, according to the HiCentral MLS.
