What You'll Love About Tantalus Glass House (3 BD)
• Iconic glass-and-steel architecture wrapped in tropical greenery
• Sweeping city-to-ocean views from multiple expansive lanais
• Dramatic 40-foot skylight illuminating the great room
• Sculptural ruby-red chef’s island seating 12
• Nearly 6,000 sq ft of elevated indoor-outdoor living

Living & Dining
Step into a soaring glass pavilion suspended above the city. The main level is entirely devoted to living and entertaining, framed by floor-to-ceiling glass and crowned by a 40-foot skylight that shifts the mood from bright morning light to golden afternoon glow.

The formal dining area seats ten beneath clean architectural lines. Distinct lounge zones allow for conversation, quiet reading, or evening cocktails as Honolulu sparkles below. When the glass doors slide open, the home breathes. Mountain air flows through. The boundary between inside and out disappears.

This is modern island living at scale.

Chef-Ready Kitchen
At the center of the home, a bold ruby-red oval island makes a confident statement. Seating twelve, it transforms the kitchen into a gathering space rather than a workspace. Premium appliances, an oversized refrigerator, professional-grade range, and dual dishwashers support seamless hosting. Open sightlines keep the chef connected to every moment.

Outdoor Oasis
Expansive lanais extend the living spaces outward, surrounded by mature trees that provide natural privacy while framing the skyline beyond. Dine under filtered sunlight. Unwind in shaded lounge seating. Watch the city transition from daylight to a sea of twinkling lights.
Private tennis, pickleball, and basketball courts are available for guests to enjoy, providing exclusive recreation in this secluded paradise.
