Description

Prime oceanfront perch features almost 3/4 acre and 250 ft of oceanfront! With jaw-dropping views of Hilo Bay, Honolii surfing beach, whales, sunrises, paddlers, cruise ships and stunning views that change by the minute, this property has been constantly improved and is ready to stand the test of time! Carefully loved by this owner for over 27 years, this vintage Hawaiian home has experienced updates while preserving the best of yesteryear. Walls of windows allow full enjoyment of the views from most places in the home. EZ to expand. Classic redwood construction with single level living on the main floor including a well-planned kitchen that has been updated with granite counters, newer appliances, LED lighting and more along with a primary bedroom with access to an oceanside lanai and spa, 2 closets with built-ins. Also on this level is a large mauka-side lanai. The lower level boasts a large sleeping area/studio with full bath and built-in office space. Sliders open to a slate sitting area on this level. An owned PV system and solar hot water keep electric bills at bay. Connection to county sewer means the entire lot is useable. Located at the end of a cul-de-sac, the home was newly painted and is accessed down a long driveway. Vinyl covered soffits lower maintenance and help keep critters at bay. The home has been professionally engineered to make the property stable. Copper pipe fencing insures safety along the ocean. A long Hawaiian rock wall system and Emerald Zoysia grass along with numerous tropical plantings (red and yellow Lehua, birds, plumeria, fern garden) are touches of Hilo that are hard to find any place else. With room to expand, there's a possibility to add more living area to this rare offering! (Brand new refidgerator 7/2025, style is different).
