5 Beds ⋅ 3 Baths ⋅ 202417895 MLS ⋅ FS - Fee Simple Tenure

Property like this rarely comes on the market, with over 20,000 sqft of usable land zoned R-5 in the center of Honolulu! This gently-downsloped, nicely-shaped parcel has plenty of parking and is convenient to transportation. From its sweeping lawns, the mountain and valley views are spectacular. The owners have a topo map plus schematic designs for development of five homes, with sewer connections approved at that time, subject to re-applying--or buyers may build their own dreams! The two houses on the property have some solid qualities and are occupied by tenants, but the property is being sold well below the Assessed Value of even just the land. Don’t miss this amazing opportunity! Also listed on MLS under Multi-Family MLS #202417894.
