91-1149 Kaipū St, Ewa Beach, HI 96706

Some people buy houses that demand a ton of work. They buy them cheap because they need to fund their DIY home renovations. These people will sweat, bleed, and devote all of their free time to their houses … their “projects.”

Other people have kids, pets, or simply hell to raise. They don’t need their home to be a never ending repair project. They have no intention of working all day so they can come home and work all night, too. They value their time and the freedom of “fully modernized & move-in-ready.”

This home is a dream for the latter group.

Offered at $850K

Sorry, this property sold for $950K to 15 competing buyers.

Day into Night into Day

Ocean Pointe is a great neighborhood for those who want to live a restorative lifestyle, one that is set to nature’s clock. Buying a home on a corner lot maximizes opportunities to reset your circadian rhythms to the sun. There are banks of windows and clerestory right inside the front door of this house so days are bright and airy inside whether you’re home with the shades open -or- out for the day. Thankfully though, it also has both sleep and play spaces that are situated out of the direct sunlight. So, when you want (or need) to take a nap, play a video game, or catch up on your fave TV show, you can find places to do so without fighting the sun’s glare.  Oh, and the plantation blinds come in very handy for creating shade when you need it. Plus, they just look good. Life here is both envigorating and restful … all on your schedule.

In The Details

full color, full size images are visible in the hd gallery below

Touch of Class

A mirrored chrome globe-light is but one of many modern and retro-mod fixtures that create a high-end cohesive design here.

#Amirite?

Touch of Glass

Have you ever seen those glimmering green glass fishing floats that people pull out of the sea like treasure? Yeah … that.

Tension Cable

We love a bit of industrial flourish in 2021 and this tension cable stair rail does just the trick.

The Total package

A studs-out renovation of the owner’s bath includes a glass & tile shower room, plus this adorbs and useful split dual vanity with makeup counter.

How did they...?

No, a Yukon XL will not fit in most Ocean Pointe garages. Aren’t you glad that we extended the garage floor so that yours can? 

Rainbird® Automation

Thanks automated, timer-driven sprinker systems for keeping one of the only fully landscaped yards in Ocean Pointe healthy and flowering. 

"This just in ..."

It’s official. There are no more antiquated, inefficient ceiling fans here. We’ve finally replaced them all just in time for you to move in.

Like a massage

Modern, engineered hardwood is nearly indestructible and looks great. Even better? When it’s textured with a hand-hewn surface to massage your feet.

modernity

When it comes to creating a unified design aesthetic, glass tile backsplashes are da bomb! Plus, they clean up effortlessly, look sleek, and add some depth/dimension to the wall.

Fine Fixtures

Doesn’t modern design feel great? The newly-installed-in-2021 waterfall faucets in the owner’s and guest baths make us feel pampered and decadent.

A place for all

Basically all of the original cabinetry in the home has been removed, upgraded, and supplemented. Most is custom and built on site. All is priceless.

Climate Control

The central AC compressor and air handler were replaced and upgraded in 2017. Super cool, huh? 

Surround Sound

Ready to be immersed in greatness? Sit in the outdoor living room and pop on the flat screen. Next, kick on the sound system. Whoa, right‽ 

#interrobang

Safety First

This home is prepped with door/window alarms, motion detectors, front & back keypad entry locks and security cameras that you can monitor & control with an app.

To the colosseum!

A Gladiator® storage system is but a fraction of the things we love about the organized garage. It’s a big fraction though … maybe 9/16ths? Yeah, that feels right.

Seal of approval

Really, nothing beats the look and waterproofing of a bath sealed in modern tiles. We love the uninterrupted look of the owner’s bath flooring and shower surround.

The little things

They’re almost not worth mentioning but we love these kinda cheap but super thoughtful motion activated stair tread lights. Why aren’t these nearly-invisible gems in all homes?

Old World | new look

There is a reason that plantation shutters are both popular and expensive. If you don’t know the reason, you will soon. Trust.

Go Green

Gone here are the dark bullnosed granite counters in favor of “greener,” brighter, bacteriostatic, and more durable quartz in a modern micro-bevel cut. You are correct … it’s better.

New Friends

Small, cute, colorful, and always smiling, gold dust day geckos are always on hand to keep your garden free of pests. We weren’t bugged by anything.

Heavenly Light

From high up in the air vault below an 18ft ceiling comes light as if from the heavens.

#BlessedByClerestory

Imelda who?

For those who sparkle … well … need we say more about this custom closet?

Dishwasher

How the homebuilders didn’t think to install a dishwasher here is … uh … nobody’s problem anymore.

Dinner time

Would you trade a tiny, pointless window facing a fence for a wonderfully huge food pantry? This upgraded kitchen did. Zero regrets.

Bubbly

From the waterfall in the garden to the waterfall faucets in the baths, we love the burbles and bubbles of water. We just added these spectacular feature lights for you.

created for people to gather, chill, or both

“We love our home, and we spent a lot of time with family here. My goal was to create a cool space in which we could really live! Whether we’re having a big gathering or just a quite evening to relax and unwind, I believe I created a home that is hip, warm, comfortable, and welcoming. At least that is the feedback I get … pretty regularly still. I hope the next owners love it as much as we have and also really make their own, too!”

      BONUS! OUTDOOR LIVING

      Take a look (or a step) out your glass back door and feast your eyes on a living room that was not part of the original home. 

      Whether you enjoy it with the roller shades up or down, the extended back lanai here is sure to be someone’s favorite place to pau hana. This fully roofed lanai is also fully wired for entertainment. It has a ceiling mounted flat screen TV on a flex arm and … wait for it … surround sound! Ooooo, the neighbors will be jelly. We have it set up as a living room for catching a game on the weekends, sipping wine to the soothing splashes of the garden’s waterfall, or just listening to the tropical sound of the wind rustling the palm fronds. What will you do with this ~147 sq. ft. extra outdoor room? Build a BBQ kitchen? Yoga porch? Or turn it into an outdoor bedroom? Maybe it’s time to get a hot tub, huh? The fully fenced & beautifully landscaped backyard, 2 new plumeria, and potted orange tree will provide the view, scents, and tastes to complement your relaxing spa experience. Ok, yes, it is Hawaii, but it’s not always hot here. But you’ll be bringin’ the heat!
