About This Home

As of February 2022

This darling 3-bedroom, 2-bath home has been very well cared for and is move-in ready! Seriously, you need to see it to believe it.

As you pull into the property, you'll immediately notice the fresh exterior paint and fully fenced, large lot with beautiful green grass and tons of room to spread out and enjoy. The electric remote entry gate makes it very convenient when pulling into your single-car enclosed garage, which current owners utilized as a workout room. The interior of the home offers Koa laminate flooring throughout, open dining and living room area overlooking the large backyard, and nice-sized bedrooms. The kitchen offers stainless steel appliances, a large kitchen sink, and a new range hood. The main bedroom has its own bathroom which has been beautifully remodeled with an oversized shower stall and sitting bench. The indoor laundry room is a major added bonus, and the interior of the home has also been freshly painted. You'll also be happy to know that this home is serviced by a private water supply and does not require a rainfall water catchment system and no HOA dues. Owners recently installed a 17-solar panel PV system with backup batteries to help offset your electric bill. This property has so much to offer and is within walking distance to Keonepoko Elementary School. Hawaiian Shores is located near the new Puna Kai Shopping Center which offers various eateries, shopping, and specialty shops. Also, just an approximately 30-minute commute to the Heart of Hilo Town.
