Another Alfred Preis Classic Snapped Up Fast in Manoa

Recently, an Alfred Preis home hit the market on Melemele Place in Manoa. To no surprise, it was snapped up relatively quick.

Latest Preis listing on Melemele Place (MLS# 201509359) listed for $988,000

Considering the last few sold north of $1 million, this one is a great buy. I had the opportunity to preview it prior to coming to market. Although it needed some work, it is definitely at “diamond in the rough.” Situated on a cul-de-sac, the home sits on over a half acre (which is hard to find in Honolulu). With mature fruit trees, space, and privacy, this home has a lot to offer.

Architectural Appeal

Classic mid century modern lines signature of Alfred Preis’ work

Throughout the home you can see the classic mid century modern lines, use of hardwoods, mahogany paneling, and the thin hollow tile that was commonplace in a number of Alfred Preis’ homes. This is one of the coolest collections of his works if you were to take a drive up Melemele Place as Mr. Preis was involved in the development of a number of homes here. This particular listing has been under contract this past month. If you’ve got interest in other mid-century modern homes to purchase, I’m here to help.
