The Price of Paradise: Classic Hawaii Homes

One of my favorite things to do is look at houses that have come on the market for sale. It's the dreamer in me and the planner - I always want to know where I'm going to land next and I'm dreaming big. I'm going to try to start this as a regular series of posts because I am constantly coming across houses that I absolutely would move into tomorrow and want to share with all of you. These are three of my favorite on the market right now in established Honolulu neighborhoods. Which is your favorite?

Classic Hawaiian Style Bungalow

Neighborhood: Manoa

Price: $825,000

Bedrooms: 3 Bathrooms: 2

Square Footage: 1,405

Built: 1925

This is the smallest and least expensive of the the three, on a beautiful street of classic and historical homes, 10 minutes from Waikiki but tucked in a historic neighborhood in walking distance to the University of Hawaii. I love the bungalow shape, the built-ins, the original hardwood floors.

English Cottage in Hawaii

This English cottage, also in Manoa and on the Historical Homes registry, is on a beautiful street at the beginning of a cul-de-sac. It is full of gorgeous touches - leaded glass windows, lava rock fireplaces, and beautiful hardwood floors. Hubs says this is his favorite!

Hawaiian Style Home

Neighborhood: Pacific Heights
