From the Agent:  "Located near the famed Diamond Head, Hawaii’s most recognized landmark, this midcentury-modern home was renovated and restored by its current owners to pay homage to its original A-frame Hawaiian design. Owned by Sophia Lin, interior designer and owner of DESIGNSILVERLAKE, and her husband, Dan Lin, (movie producer behind The Lego Movie franchise and the live action film Aladdin), the home features design elements that complement the original architecture built by George Pete Wimberly in 1956. The home is in the process of being nominated to be deemed an official historic home, due to its rare design by Wimberly."

Perched on an elevated lot, the revamped home features a large terrace overlooking the ocean. Original stonework helps the property blend into its natural setting.
