748 Ocean View Drive, Honolulu, HI 96816

$1,595,000 Home for sale 3 beds 1,581 sqft Neighborhood:  Kaimuki
Perched on prestigious Ocean View Drive, this one-of-a-kind home captures stunning panoramic views of Koko Head, Kahala, & the Pacific Ocean. A true labor of love, this architectural gem was single-handedly built by 1 man over 17 years, using hand-cut lava stone to craft a living work of art. 50 lava stone steps wind through the property, each a testament to the legendary craftsmanship that defines the home. At the lower level, a hand-dug arch in a lava wall reveals a serene fern grotto—an enchanting, hidden retreat that blends nature & artistry. A traditional Japanese-style cottage sits peacefully on the grounds, currently serving as a tatami room. Originally created for family gatherings & overnight guests, it adds a layer of cultural richness & warmth to the property. 3 terraced levels once flourished as a Japanese garden, offering a tranquil space to reflect & reconnect w/nature. Today, they provide a foundation for vertical landscaping & create distinct zones of privacy & peaceful living. This is not just a home, but a handcrafted legacy. A rare opportunity to own something truly unmatched. Disclosure: Square footage differs from tax office records. 2 photos have been enhanced
