125 Kapaka St Hilo, HI 96720

The perfect blend of old and new! It's no secret, Hilo is known for it's classic Hicks homes. Built of Redwood T&G with hardwood floors these classic beauties are known to stand the test of time. But, they often don't meet the needs of discriminating Buyers looking for modern features such as open living spaces and master suites. That was until this Kapaka St. home came along! Lovingly remodeled in 2008 it combines all the charm of yesteryear with the modern features of today's homes. Step inside the main entry and you're greeted by those gleaming hardwood floors, T&G walls and a large picture window in the classicly styled living room. But, just steps away, and open to the living room, is a spacious and remodeled kitchen with custom maple cabinetry and butcher block island, Kenmore stainless steel refrigerator, range, and dishwasher and Wilsonart laminate flooring. It's an ideal space for sharing good times with the whole house. Just off the kitchen is a central multi-purpose room with tiled flooring. It's the perfect spot for a Hilo style "mud room", kids play area, and so much more! Step outside this space and you're greeted by an inviting covered rear lanai and expansive fenced backyard. Watch kids and furry friends play while you enjoy the shade! Also on the lower level are two ample sized bedrooms with hardwood floors. Bedroom #1 features a remodeled half bath with pedestal sink and vinyl flooring while bedroom #2 has easy access to the main, full bath on this level. But, it's the upstairs master level addition that's sure to please. Bright, airy, and breezy with ocean and mountain views it's a true getaway. At over 660 sf it houses a full bath, walk-in closet, and large bonus area that is ideal for a home office, craft or workout area. So much to love here! There's even a privately set semi-detached workshop (or future guest space!) for those who love to tinker! If you've been waiting for that rare, well thought out Hilo you've found it!
