48 Kahoa St Hilo, HI 96720

DIRECT OCEANFRONT! World class views from almost every spot in this classically elegant oceanfront compound. Located only steps from Honolii surfing and 5 minutes from Hilo, this home enjoys breathtaking views of Hilo breakwater, Hilo Bay as well as Honolii beach break and beyond! The well designed home offers a great floor plan with a ton of custom touches. Enter thru a formal courtyard with access to a large oceanside bonus room on the right and an oversized garage on the left. The bonus room would make a perfect home office, yoga studio, dance studio or man cave. Extensive use of Koa can be found in coffered ceilings and cabinets while custom etched glass accents are best described as stand alone art pieces. A huge great room upstairs opens to an expansive ocean side lanai. With several new appliances and corian counters, even the kitchen also enjoys views across a solarium style breakfast room and a large dining area. Also on the upper level (home is accessed from this level and can be single level living) are two bedrooms and 2 baths. The master suite is accessed thru double etched doors or from one of two private lanai areas. The master bath with extensive use of "rainforest" marble is a true master retreat. The lower level features a large studio (with kitchen) area with direct pool access. This level also features sauna #2 which is located in a room that could be used as bedroom 4. There's also a full bath, bedroom 3 and a laundry area.... but it's the pool, spa, lawn and gazebo that will capture your heart on our steamy tropical days! (Small piece of Bishop Estate land on oceanside so MLS does recognize the property as the oceanfront parcel it really is).
