Wow! Is what I said when I saw this remodeled Kailua home, brand new on the Kailua, Oahu market. The address is 248 Aumoe Road, in Kailua Estates, and it’s listed for $2,049,000. It’s not my listing, but I can help you buy it. Blog written and all photos and video used with permission of Listor.
There are at least 10 reasons why I love this remodeled Kailua home and why you will too. As I mentioned in a recent blog post on Oahu Home Trends, since the pandemic, buyers now have some different needs and concerns. This home literally has almost everything a Buyer might need or want, even taking newer trends into consideration. Here are some key features:
1. Bring Your Crew and Let Them Roam.

You could even use the main house as a second home and have a caretaker stay in the 2/1, if that suits your needs. The main house is 5BR/3BA with a split floor plan (master on one side of living areas, 4 other bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms on the other side). There is a spacious family room leading out to the pool, Upstairs, is a 2BR/1BA area with living/cooking space, a separate entrance and even its own lanai. Total in the house is 7BR/4.5BA. This home has plenty of room, without a pretentious or “too large” feel.

4. You Can Work and Study From Home!
With a total of 7 bedrooms, it makes sense for most people to use at least one or two of these as an office for work/study. Since more of us are now working and schooling at home, having multiple separate quiet areas can be critical. This remodeled Kailua home offers many options. The current owners have an office in the main house, as well as one attached to the garage. Other office scenarios are definitely possible with this flexible floor plan and ample bedrooms.

There is so much to love about this home! The gigantic backyard features a salt-water swimming pool and a gracious covered lanai, with refrigerators, and TV set up.

There’s a play house for the kids or grandkids, and even a zip line for those who dare! The back corner of the yard has been known to host a wicked IMU, if you’d like to adopt the Hawaiian tradition and build one of your own. You can do it all here, there’s plenty of room!
