Charm meets convenience at this adorable kama'aina home in the heart of Hilo! <br><br>Lovingly cared for over the years, the property offers an excellent opportunity for first time home buyers, investors seeking rental income, or for multi-generational living. Upstairs is a cozy 2 bedroom, 1.25 bath with high ceilings, classic built-ins, and newer dual pane windows for energy efficiency and noise reduction. Downstairs you'll find an additional 1 bedroom, 1 bath, with kitchenette, providing a ton of flexibility. Live in one and rent the other, have space for extended family or guests, or rent out both units. It could also be a home office, hobby space, man cave, you name it! <br><br>Lush tropical landscaping and productive citrus trees adds to the curb appeal. The location could not be more convenient as you're walking distance to Hawaii Community College, UH-Hilo, Waiakea High School, and the Hilo Shopping Center, and a five minute drive to practically anywhere in town.<br><br>The current owners added a solar water heater to help reduce energy costs and a 220v outlet in the carport for electric vehicle charging. The home was tented by Veteran Termite on June 6, 2025 and has a three year warranty.
