The Location

Vancouver Drive is a historic street in one of Mānoa’s most sought-after neighborhoods, known for its architectural character and proximity to landmarks like the John Guild House. Homes on this street rarely come to market, and 1867 Vancouver Drive combines the charm of historic Mānoa with modern living. The Mānoa Valley offers cooler temperatures, lush surroundings, and a peaceful residential feel, while remaining close to downtown Honolulu, Waikīkī, and the University of Hawai‘i, with tree-lined streets, hiking trails, and a vibrant local community.

The property has been carefully maintained to preserve its original quality and architectural character. Thoughtful updates throughout the interior complement the home’s historic features, ensuring that it functions smoothly for contemporary living. From the covered lanai to the interior details like sculptural tables and custom lighting, the residence retains a sense of authenticity while accommodating modern needs. Security measures, including cameras, gates, and sensors, provide peace of mind without affecting the home’s aesthetic.

Land and Grounds

Set in the Seaview neighborhood, the property features a modest street-facing façade framed by tropical landscaping and a dual-leaf gate that opens to a spacious driveway and two-car garage. The backyard captures skyline and ocean views, with fruit trees, magnolias, and tropical plants creating a lush environment. Outdoor areas include a pool deck, pavilion, and dining terrace, fulfilling needs of both beauty and functionality. Every element of the grounds has been designed to complement the home, providing a private, inviting setting for both everyday life and special gatherings.

Utilities and Infrastructure

The residence uses passive cooling strategies suited to Hawai‘i’s climate, including thick masonry walls, wide eaves, and cross-ventilation. Construction combines wood framing with plastered archways and a concrete block foundation. The property is connected to standard municipal water and power services.
