Description
Their "Seashell" is how Sellers refer to their pied-à-terre, enjoyed as a second home, across Kalakaua Avenue from Waikiki Beach. Its robust 30-day rental boasts consistent revenue, even all through the pandemic. The 2015 remodel reflects a beachy ambiance to mirror its location. A full kitchen, bathroom, owner's closet plus hallway storage outside the studio, offers the possibility of full-time residency; parking can be rented nearby and occasionally purchased. Pet-friendly, too! Foster Tower was the first residential high rise condominium developed in this world renown vacation destination, accessible to everything one needs for a fulfilling island experience. Stroll the historical tour in the lobby where names and places conjure memories of film, sports and music. Sub-metering was completed 1 July 2021; electricity now paid separately, plus HOA fees were lowered. Bike, moped, surfboard storage. 24-hour security. Scores: Walkability 90; transit 70; cycling 78. Sale by way of an IRC 1031 Exchange at no cost to Buyer.
