About This Home

As of April 2025

If you appreciate the charm and nostalgia of classic Hilo homes, you won't want to miss out on this one. Set high on a hill, enjoy looking out over almost 3/4 of an acre of land fully landscaped with various fruit trees and sprawling lawn that kids, pets and outdoor lovers will surely love. Unobstructed view of Maunakea and a sliver of distant ocean views are also a plus.

The main level of the home features 3 bedrooms, a full bath, kitchen dining area and an incredible living room with large picture windows that fill the room with natural light. The wood burning fireplace is a classic focal point in homes of this vintage.

One of the neat features that is quite unique to this home are the large sliding glass doors that open up from the living and dining area to the large outdoor patio.
