This charming home is located steps from the Hilo Municipal Golf Course on a peaceful dead end street. Recent permitted renovations make this spacious home in the heart of the coveted Waiakea District shine!
Enter through the ornate wood front door into the open concept kitchen and living room area, and prepare to be wowed by gorgeous Mauna Kea views from the huge front windows.
Dazzling white quartz adorns the kitchen and large island, with classic textured dark wood tile and crown molding throughout. Most walls are original redwood, and ceiling fans cool each room.
From the main living area, enter the hall leading to the roomy bedrooms and ending in an extra large primary suite with an oversized, light-filled, spa-like bathroom including a double shower, soaker tub, Japanese Toto toilet, and a massive walk-in closet.
The separate wing off the kitchen offers privacy, including 2 flex-space bonus rooms and another double shower with new tile. The second room is already wired to serve as a large home office.
The roof was recently pressure washed, treated & painted and the home tented by Pacific Termite in 2024. The owned Solar system includes 13 panels with HELCO Net Energy Metering (NEM) offering energy efficiency + city power as a backup.
Productive fruit trees (tangerine, lime, orange, banana, coconut, vanilla vine) and ornamentals abound in the sizable yard, with a view of the empty landscaped lot next door and a spacious 520 square foot garage.
Enclosing the walk-in closet means square footage increased to 2176sqft. Fresh paint, new siding, and three grand palm trees add to the home’s exterior charm and curb appeal.
This exceptional home is move-in ready - make it your own intergenerational family compound or work-from-home retreat!
