About This Home

As of May 2026

Location. Location. Location. In Hilo - yes. Near shopping - yes. Near schools - yes. Near the university - yes. Near government services - yes. Near financial services - yes. Near restaurants - yes. Near the Hilo Municipal Golf Course - not just near it, but less than 100 yards from the main entrance! This house has it all - not just a great location. With 1770 sf of interior space for living, the home is generously sized - large enough for two entertaining areas (front and back of the house ). Three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a garage sit on 12,071 sf of land. This home is built to last: concrete slab foundations, a cantilevered concrete hearth at the fireplace (built from brick), and concrete block structural walls. Interior walls are built from tongue and groove wood planks. Oversized windows naturally light the large living spaces in the front and back of the house. There are so many well thought out details in the home, from the shoji wall partitions to the built-in furniture in the living room and bedrooms, plus den/home office to the cut lava rock chimney. There is even a furo (Japanese soaking tub) in the second bathroom that has been refurbished. A mud room and indoor laundry are located between the garage, kitchen, and second bathroom for added convenience. There are so many original features to appreciate - truly a kamaaina home - that can be appreciated by all. The yard just adds to the allure. The hedge at the street is ideal for privacy. There is even a wood fence separating the property from the adjacent parking area and yard. Palms, hapuu, and grassy lawn are a terrific contrast to the long paved asphalt driveway leading to the house. And then there is the value-added bonus: the massive four-car carport (1200 sf) and storage area (think additional parking, storage, workshop, etc.). This property has so much to offer - truly an opportunity that will not have to wait long for its new owner to find it.
