Large Remodeled Home In Great Honolulu Neighborhood – Dowsett

Just Listed in Dowsett, a Large Remodeled Home in Great Honolulu Neighborhood!

We’re happy to have a brand-new listing of a large remodeled home in great Honolulu neighborhood: Dowsett Highlands in Honolulu! It’s at 3434 Kaohinani Drive, just off Nuuanu Pali Drive and the Pali Highway. This area, in the Nuuanu Valley, is one of the most beautiful and special in Honolulu.

The History of Dowsett Highlands

The Dowsett Tract was one of the first residential subdivisions of Honolulu to be developed, in the early 1900s, along what is now the Pali Highway. The Pali Highway is a direct route over and through the Koolau Mountain range to Kailua and the rest of Windward Oahu, making this a very convenient area. At the other end, the Pali terminates in Downtown Honolulu, at Aloha Tower. The Dowsett area, 273 acres in the Nuuanu Valley, is originally named after the Dowsett family, starting with Captain Samuel James Dowsett, who came from England to settle in Honolulu in 1828. His son, James, was a successful and well-respected entrepreneur, with business ventures on multiple Hawaiian islands.

A Beautiful Lush Setting

If you are looking for a great Honolulu neighborhood, with flowing streams, scenic mountain views, and lush greenery everywhere, Dowsett is for you. Canopies of old-growth trees shade many homes, with some backing the Nuuanu stream. The quietude of the Dowsett area, with its great proximity to Downtown Honolulu makes it quite special. It is a Kama’aina neighborhood that truly gives you a taste of Old Hawaii and days gone by. Many noted architects have designed homes in this great Honolulu neighborhood. The homes tend to be more spacious and elegant than the average Honolulu home, making it a favorite of well-to-do executives and business owners. In addition, Dowsett is one of few Honolulu neighborhoods that has underground utilities and a minimum lot size of 10,000 sq feet, helping to enhance the beautiful views and country-like feeling.

Newly Remodeled Home in a Great Neighborhood

The owners recently remodeled 3434 Kaohinani Drive, and it has great bones! It has a new kitchen and two newly remodeled bathrooms.
