Someone, at some point, mentioned an apartment over a garage at the back of this same property. Have you been able to look at that, at all?
A garage was never listed even in the info found at Zillow with the assessment.(5 bedroom, 2 bathroom with small outbuilding) The only item outside of the main house is the tiny 420 sq ft “cabin” on the property. The property itself is assessed at between $685,000 and $750,000 depending on which assessment you look at. The area is known as the most expensive real estate on the island of Oahu and definitely beyond the financial reach of a mortgage administrator at Bankoh and her furniture salesman husband.(One reason it is expensive is because of its location within walking distance of the ocean)
The address given for Obama Sr is where the majority of housing is located for workers in the service industry.(625 11th Ave. in the St Louis Heights area, before moving to that home he lived at the Atherton Y.M.C.A.) Something interesting with that is we know the small single story home he lived in while going to UH was torn down sometime between June 1962 and Dec.1971 and yet no new structure was built there until 1990. During the 1970’s that area experienced a building boom to house all the service industry workers so the question is: why was that particular lot not developed?
