Live

A Kahala Avenue home composed for the way an accomplished life actually runs.

A Home Composed for Two Halves of the Day

4714 Kahala Avenue is a contemporary home built to do two things at once. Handle a serious working day. Host a serious evening. In the same house, on the same floor plan, without the two halves of life getting in each other's way. The layout is a backward L. The guest wing sits apart from the entertaining core, which means acoustic and visual privacy without sacrificing flow. A late dinner doesn't reach the guest rooms. A working call doesn't compete with the kitchen.

The main floor carries the primary suite, two offices, the kitchen, a guest bedroom with en-suite bathroom, and the full entertaining sequence out to the pool. Upstairs is a complete second world, three bedrooms, a full living room with wet bar, a third office, a second laundry. When the principal floor is running an event, the upstairs runs independently. 6,254 square feet of interior on nearly 14,000 square feet of land. Six bedrooms, four full and two half baths, three offices, a pool, and a private landscaped yard.

The Address That Needs No Introduction

Kahala Avenue is one of the most recognized residential addresses in Hawai'i. It doesn't need context for buyers who know Honolulu. For those who don't: it is established, residential, and quiet in a way that streets near the ocean rarely manage to be. The avenue runs along the Kahala coastline, backed by some of the island's most enduring homes, and it has remained that way for decades by design. 4714 sits on that street. The address carries its own weight.

A Neighborhood That Has Held Its Character for Decades 

Kahala is not a neighborhood that announces itself. It doesn't need to. The Kahala Hotel sits at its eastern edge. Waialae Country Club borders it to the north. Diamond Head rises to the west. Beach access is walkable. The schools serving this area are among the strongest on the island. Waikiki and downtown Honolulu are close enough to reach without effort, far enough away to be completely absent from daily life here. That balance is harder to find than most buyers expect, and Kahala has held it for a long time.

A Position on the Island That Works for the Life You're Running

O'ahu's south shore sits in the lee of the Ko'olau Range, which means the trade winds arrive tempered and the rainfall stays to the mountains. Kahala runs drier and calmer than most of the island. The climate is consistent in a way that matters when you live and work outdoors. Honolulu's central business district is fifteen minutes away. The airport is a straight shot for the principal who travels frequently. The position on the island gives access to everything without proximity to the friction.

What the Days Actually Look Like Here 

A typical morning here starts on the main floor. Coffee in a kitchen that was built to be used. A call from the office before most of the house is moving. The primary suite is a short walk from where the day begins. By evening, the doors open to the lanai, the lanai opens to the pool, and the pool grounds open to a private yard that the avenue cannot see into. One of the more removed rooms is currently set up as a gym and can also function as guest quarters or a quiet retreat. The upstairs holds whatever part of the household wants its own evening. This is a home that rewards the life it was built for. The more it's used, the more sense it makes.
