We just finished a long project in Moanalua Gardens, Honolulu. We put over $100,000 into rehabbing this large 2-story, 5-bed 3-bath home at 1720 Ala Amoamo Street behind Fort Shafter. A long journey but well worth it as we turned out a BEAUTY of a house! Kudos to general contractor Sam Kim and KO Builders for all the hard work they did.
This stunner just hit the local real estate market on Thursday 8/29/13 at $888,000 and the buzz so far has been electric. If you know the Honolulu real estate market, then you know Moanalua is a great area with highly-regarded public schools. Some lucky buyer is going to have a wonderful place to call home for years and generations to come, especially with the many possibilities of using this large two-story home with separate entrances. Let me walk you through some of the repairs and renovations we had to make:
- New paint, both inside and out
- Completely brand new kitchen — tile, granite counters, cherry cabinets, appliances, undermount sink and fixtures
- New kitchenette downstairs
- Three fully remodeled bathrooms from head to toe
- Expansion of one bathroom to full tub width
- All bedrooms renovated with sliding mirrored closet doors
- New flooring everywhere — carpet and tile upstairs, wood laminate and tile downstairs
- New lighting and ceiling fans
- New laundry area
- New fencing
- New window screens and window repairs
- Much more!
