Serene Parcel in Dowsett Neighborhood Lot With Approved Plans

Nestled among the lush canopies of Dowsett, next to the tumbling Nu’uanu Stream, this serene parcel has approved architectural plans, permitted to build. No DPP wait. 

Designed by award-winning local architect Jim Schmit, known for tropical modernism and island sensibility, this contemporary residence is designed to live among the trees and belong to this coveted Hawaii neighborhood. 

Enter from a level approach off Pelekane Drive, expansive floor-to-ceiling windows frame the living greenery like art, while below, the stream tumbles across terraced tiers into soothing gentle waterfalls. A covered lanai extends living outward, and an approved ADU above the four-car carport offers endless possibility — home office, studio, guest quarters. 

This is Dowsett: steeped in history, embraced by tropical vegetation, and the quiet magic of one of O’ahu’s most cherished valleys. The lot is graced with monstera, Java plum, mango, Hawaiian ginger, ‘ulu, ti leaf, heliconia, and more. Plans fully approved. Talk with your builder today.
