Property Description

Nestled in an established Hilo neighborhood—a prime location just moments from the rushing waters of the "Boiling Pots," Hilo Benioff Medical Center, and the vibrance of downtown—sits this charming, classic bungalow. With its graceful presence, the home embodies the relaxed, enduring quality of the 1930’s in Hawaii. Stepping inside the main level, you are welcomed by 1,620 square feet of warmth, anchored by a spacious great room featuring the home's original hardwood floors and sun-drenched windows, all centered around a cozy fireplace. The large kitchen maintains its vintage appeal with built-in cabinetry, elegant arched entryways, and a classic sink, complete with a sunny breakfast nook perfect for morning coffee. Versatility defines the upper level, where a spacious loft, approx. 29x27, runs the full width of the home and includes its own bathroom, offering a private sanctuary ideal for a primary bedroom, guest suite, home office, or generous bonus room. The entire property is a private oasis, secured by a solar gate entry and set upon a generous 20,000 sf lot. This fully fenced parcel is a tropical haven, lush with an array of palm trees, flowers, ferns, and fruit trees. Practicality is also well-covered with a detached garage featuring two additional storage rooms for tools and hobbies, complemented by ample storage potential in the space beneath the home. This exceptional property offers the next owner a wonderful canvas for a light refresh, allowing them to infuse their personal style while preserving the authentic island character and convenience of this established community.
