Architecture Wednesday: Diamond House Hawaii

Welcome to the Diamond House, a 1958 mid-century Oahu A-Frame masterpiece born from the vision of famed architects Wimberly and Cook, who are well-known for landmark projects such as the Waikikian, Sheraton Waikiki hotels, renovation of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, Don the Beachcomber restaurant, and Kauai's Coco Palms Resort.

This time they created a unique home with strong Hawaiian materials of lava rock, large wood beams, glass, and a strategic layout to capture the tropical ocean breezes flowing off the Pacific. The main floor features a large living space, dining room, kitchen and lounge alcove. The wrap-around lanai offers ample space to relax, entertain and enjoy the views outside the home or soak in the hot tub.

Up a few stairs from the main level you find ocean views from the primary bedroom, which also offers privacy and great storage space, and ensuite bathroom; there are two additional bedrooms and a bath on this level, as well as a loft.

Extensive renovations include new windows and doors; cherry kitchen cabinets, quartz countertops; new gas water heater; new light fixtures and ceiling fans; outdoor shower and hot tub; and much more!

Plunk down $3.75M and it’s yours!
