More Insights
Built in 1962 (63 years old).
Condition: Built in 1962, this property retains significant original 'Hawaiian Modern' features, including extensive terrazzo flooring, a 'retro entry foyer,' a 'martini bar,' and a 'sunken terrazzo tub' in the primary bath. While the listing mentions the kitchen was 'thematically updated over the years' and two bathrooms were 'redone,' the visible elements in the images (e.g., dated vanities, ornate chandeliers, and gold-toned fixtures in the bathrooms, and the overall style of the bar area) suggest these updates either occurred 15-30+ years ago or preserved a distinctly outdated aesthetic. The property is well-maintained but requires substantial modernization in key areas like the kitchen and bathrooms to meet current quality standards and buyer expectations. Major systems (HVAC, electrical, plumbing) are also likely older and may require upgrades.
