About This Home

As of July 2023

Somewhere in the heart of Hilo ... down a private driveway ... on a little flag lot ... you will find this 3-bed, 3-bath home.  

Perfect for the first-time homebuyer and/or use as a rental property, it is conveniently located near everything in town, including the University of Hawaii, Hawaii Community College, and Waiakea High School, banks, schools, shopping, and ITO airport. Did I mention it's close to everything? Yes? Good. It is.

The 0.27 acre lot is fenced on 3 sides. The home has a covered back patio with an attached auxiliary/storage space containing the 3rd bathroom.

Almost an entire wall of the living room is devoted to illuminating the space with daylight through four enormous picture windows ... two with clear jalousies. When cooling breezes blow through the jalousie windows, the home is comfortable and the air feels as fresh as being outdoors.

This home is ADA accessible via the ADA-compliant ramp to the front door and ADA-compliant stairs to the kitchen. It has an L-shaped, attached, 3-car covered carport and additional off-street, uncovered parking.

The main house is 1,056 sq. ft. EXCLUDING the laundry room, storage room, and 3rd bathroom.
County records differ from actual square footage by 180 sq. ft.

Home is scheduled for tenting in July 2023 on a date yet to be determined.
