Over the years, Makiki Heights has been known for a collective hot spot of mid century modern homes on Oahu. The current active listings for sale are a true sign of its splendor for architecture.
This recently listed one (MLS# 201334459) is the lowest price of these mid century gems
Makiki Heights – Exclusive Oahu Real Estate
Unlike other neighborhoods on Oahu that have pockets of “track homes” built around the mid century era, Makiki Heights is known for its custom homes and well known architects. Most notably, you’ll find homes by Vladimir Ossipoff. However, you’ll also find some other treasures done by Albert Ives (listing above), George Hogan, and more.
Aerial View from Ossipoff Home (MLS# 201333798) listed for $5,400,000
There was a recent sale of an Ossipoff home in Makiki that was owned by the Honolulu Academy of Arts. The one above they also own and sits on 1.172 acres. Although the view speaks for itself, there’s a reason why these custom homes were built in Makiki Heights and now fetching multi-million dollars.
You’re basically in town, however, a short drive up the hill offers tremendous space and privacy, especially when you compare to similar price points in Kahala. At the same time, you have close proximity to work, health care, and more. One more thing, if the view in the day isn’t enough, the view of the Honolulu City Lights is something else…
2332 Makiki Heights Drive (MLS# 1212633) is another Ossipoff home on the market
The Granddaddy of them all is 2332 Makiki Heights Drive. Sitting on over 2.5 acres, it boasts over 7,500 sq. ft. of living area. In addition to being designed by Ossipoff, its interiors were done by Mary Phillpotts McGrath, one of Honolulu’s most well known interior designers in our modern era.
