Tucked behind a private gate in prestigious Portlock, this extensively rebuilt residence offers rare privacy and peacefulness. Thirty-foot sliding glass doors and ceilings open to a large covered lanai and backyard featuring a 50-foot saltwater pool and spa. Mature palms along the property line create a natural privacy buffer. Step through the front door into expansive open living spaces with marble-like Italian porcelain flooring and soaring ceilings. The layout includes five bedrooms with two primary suites — each with a private lanai — plus a versatile bonus room with private entrance and an in-home sauna. Designed by award-winning architect James McPeak and reimagined in recent years, the home features dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows and spa-inspired bathrooms. Set on a 13,000+ sq ft lot with ¼ shared ownership in a nearby beach access walkway. Recent improvements include a new custom roof (2021), updated windows (2022, excluding select doors), and a solar system subject to a power purchase agreement. Just minutes to Costco, Hawaii Kai shopping centers, and dining. A rare offering in one of O?ahu's most established coastal neighborhoods.
Portlock, located between Maunalua Bay and Koko Head, is a coastal and residential East Honolulu neighborhood with oceanfront estates and a calm, low-rise streetscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Portlock Road near the Portlock Boat Ramp, where paddleboards, fishing gear, and sunrise walkers set the tempo. Mid-century modern lines and contemporary rebuilds sit behind lava-rock walls, with many lots angled toward the water. The shoreline reads as a working seascape of small craft and open channels rather than a commercial strip. Hawaii Kai Golf Course frames the inland edge with broad greens and trade-wind views. Nearby, Roy’s Hawaii Kai and Kona Brewing Co. Hawaii Kai serve as local pillars for dinner and a post-beach pint.

The purpose of the Residential District is to allow for a range of residential densities. The primary use shall be detached residences. Other types of dwellings may also be allowed, including zero lot line, cluster and common wall housing arrangements. Nondwelling uses that support and complement residential neighborhood activities shall also be permitted. The intent of the R-10 districts is to provide areas for large lot developments. These areas would be located typically at the outskirts of urban development and may be applied as a transitional district between preservation, agricultural or country districts and urban districts. They would also be applied to lands where residential use is desirable but some development constraints are present.
