About This Home

Discover this inviting 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home in South Hilo’s desirable Puueo subdivision. Offering 1,156 sq ft of finished living space on the main level, this 1915 gem sits on a 6,969 sq ft lot. This home has a paved and gravel driveway for easy access and screened lanai for outdoor enjoyment. The partially finished basement adds approximately 1,156 sq ft of flexible space, including 3 additional bedrooms, a kitchen/dining area, laundry room, and a half bath (toilet separate from sink & shower area)—a total of 7 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, offering extended living or potential rental income with RM-1 zoning.

The lower level features tile flooring, some finished ceilings, and dual entrances to allow for great air flow. A shared driveway off Ohai Street ensures convenient access, and there is no HOA for added affordability. County water, HELCO power, and high-speed internet are available. Just 1.2 miles from Hilo Bay and minutes from downtown’s farmers market, dining, and schools, including Hilo Union Elementary, Hilo Intermediate, Hilo High, UH Hilo, and Hawaiʻi Community College.

Located in Flood Zone X with an elevation of approximately 50–100 ft, this home offers added peace of mind. The spacious layout and lot invite future customization or outdoor development. A unique opportunity in Hilo's urban core.
