| Public Remarks | On the market for the first time in nearly 55 years, Ainahau of Nuuanu is a rare offering—a grand two-story New England country-colonial residence, masterfully adapted for tropical living and set on 1.46 lush, private acres behind mature hedges. Built in 1922, this historic estate includes a stately main home plus a detached two-bedroom cottage, offering flexibility for multi-generational living, guests, or creative use. Designed by Catherine Jones Richards and later renovated in 1948 by Mark Potter, the home carries additional architectural significance. It embodies kamaaina elegance with broad verandas, French doors, and abundant windows welcoming in cooling trade winds and garden views. Designed for gracious entertaining, it features an expansive kitchen, butler’s pantry, and classic bar. Fir floors, a porte cochère, and large-scale rooms offer the perfect canvas for art and collections. Flanked by Nuuanu Stream and landscaped with a historic auwai, the setting is serene and storied. An extraordinary opportunity to own a legacy property—rich in provenance, and deeply rooted in Hawaii’s architectural history. | ||
