Description
Rising like a pinnacle among neighboring homes affords residents at Mott-Smith Laniloa some of the most expansive views in Honolulu, reaching to the blue Pacific Ocean. Originally designed by renowned Honolulu architect George Hogan, and built for appeal to luxury buyers, it has maintained that reputation since 1976. The highlight of this updated one bedroom condo is its 233 ft.2 lanai, the width of the condo, accessible from living area and bedroom; notice the smooth ceiling, too! After years of planning, Allana Buick & Bers was retained to engineer massive building and amenity upgrades, valued at nearly $20M. Now nearing completion, the 75,000 ft.2 amenity deck was elevated to equal any resort, required pipe/waste lines replaced. No noise, dust or assessments in your new home! If convenience is what you seek, notice the close proximity to goods, services, health care, and shopping; walk score 75, transit 48; hike Mt. Tantalus trails above or browse galleries of Honolulu Museum of Art nearby. Two secure, covered parking spaces. One bedrooms at Mott-Smith Laniloa move pretty quickly so come see this one soon.
