Discover a Rare Find in the Heart of Hilo!!!

Are you looking for a versatile, quality-built home just minutes from downtown Hilo? This charming farmhouse-style residence, thoughtfully designed for tropical living, offers a unique blend of character, comfort, and modern upgrades.

Built on a solid concrete foundation that keeps the lower level naturally cool, this home features enduring Redwood and double-wall construction. Lovingly maintained and beautifully remodeled in 2020—with additional enhancements since—every detail reflects quality and care.

Recent upgrades include:

• New faucets and upgraded light fixtures

• Whole-house fan for breezy ventilation

• Mini-split air conditioner on the lower level

• Energy-efficient appliances and ceiling fans throughout

• Exterior solar motion lights for added security

The property is fenced, complete with a solar-powered security gate, and surrounded by lush landscaping. Enjoy your own mini-orchard with orange, tangerine, and jabuticaba trees, plus pineapples scattered throughout the grounds. Additional perks include extra carport storage and the cooling tradewinds that flow through the home.

Inside, the spacious open layout feels even larger, with a flexible downstairs space that can be used as an in-law suite, guest quarters, or rental unit. Sitting on a double lot with zoning that may allow for a second structure, this property offers exceptional potential—a rare opportunity in Hilo.

Best of all, it’s truly turn-key: all appliances and most furniture are included.

Don’t miss your chance to own this special Hilo gem!!!
