About This Home

As of July 2025

A rare find! This beautiful Kama'aina mid-Century home has been well maintained over the years and lovingly lived in by very few owners. These Sellers added value by installing a 16 panel roof top PV electric system, owned not leased, providing inexpensive electricity. Additionally, the home has been re-wired.

This classic harkens back to days of old growth lumber cut true to size, constructed with real nails pounded in by craftsmen builders. Like many older homes in this area, the lumber came by ship from the Pacific Northwest where it was offloaded into the Bay and floated to shore. Urban legend has it that this helped ward off termites!? Homes of this era feature 9+ ft. ceilings, clear fir trim, built-in shelving, cabinets and hutches. Fortunately in this house, much of the trim and built-in's are were left unpainted, showing the grain of the wood.

The original owner enclosed a large wrap around covered porch on the ocean side of the home to allow more space for dance parties! Those were the days before TV and the Internet took over our lives. For the car/truck enthusiast, the 1060 sqft 4 car carport/shop is a plus! There is also a partially finished basement with a spare bath and bedrooms for visiting relatives, the kids, hobbies or storage. So rare in Hawaii but so necessary.

You will appreciate the proximity of schools, the Boys & Girls Club and easy access to restaurants, groceries, soccer fields and Hilo Bay for paddling or surfing. So many options in this amazing location!
