About 3811 Tantalus Drive
Tucked high above Honolulu on a lush mountainside, this elegant mid-century modern residence offers a rare blend of privacy, natural beauty, and classic island design. Designed by noted architect Kenji Onodera, the home reflects the timeless hallmarks of 1950s Hawai‘i architecture: an open layout, natural ventilation, and a seamless connection between indoors and out. Step inside through a solid koa entry door to find warm redwood walls, a vaulted cedar ceiling with exposed beams, and expansive plate-glass windows that frame panoramic views of the city, ocean, and surrounding forest. Every detail speaks to craftsmanship and connection with the land, while the tropical landscaping by Richard C. Tongg, one of Hawai‘i’s pioneering landscape architects, enhances the home’s serene setting. Set on a quiet ridge that catches the cooling trade winds, this private sanctuary feels a world away, with trailheads just steps from the back door, while still being minutes from Honolulu’s best schools and shopping. A timeless retreat where architecture, landscape, and island living exist in perfect harmony.
