Description
LIVE THE DREAM! Come home to the paradise others merely dream of. The blue Pacific is your back yard, Kapiolani Park the front, Diamond Head, ocean, and green treetop views, in a neighborhood of multi-million dollar homes. Historic Diamond Head Ambassador was the FIRST building on the Gold Coast. This unit is all freshened up and ready to move right in, with new plumbing, new shower, new appliances, fresh paint. Own your 1-bedroom unit for the price of a studio in this landmark building, with its distinctive turquoise Japanese-style bridges and lava rock walls. Just 89 units, 65% owner occupied, it's a real community. Did I mention the oceanfront swimming pool? The bike and surfboard storage? NOTE: Bank of Hawaii & First Hawaiian offer coop financing. No vacation rentals.
