A resort-style home in Honolulu, Hawaii designed and built by an award-winning television producer is on the market for $11,888,000.
Called Kekaulani which means “placed in the heavens,” the hillside home offers unmatched quality in every detail. The stone and white marble finishes were hand-selected while floor-to-ceiling windows offer panoramic views of the Ko’olau mountains and valleys with the ocean expanse beyond.
The home is notable for its white exteriors and interiors that contrast dramatically with the blue Hawaiian skies and waters. Seen here is a portion of the living room.

Built in 2005, the 9,166-square-foot home has five bedrooms, seven bathrooms and two half bathrooms. It is located on .4 acres of land.
The home was designed and built by Al Masini and his wife Charlyn Honda Masini. Al Masini, who died in 2010, was the award-winning television producer and creator of “Entertainment Tonight,” the celebrity news magazine. He was the mastermind behind several other programs including the long-running shows “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous”, “Fame”, “Solid Gold” and “Star Search”.
