About this home
This well-maintained Hilo home offers classic plantation-era charm with solid construction and a serene, private setting. Tucked at the end of a quiet street and bordered by two large undeveloped State and County parcels, the property enjoys exceptional privacy and the soothing sound of Ainako Stream, creating a retreat-like atmosphere in the heart of town.<br>The interior of the home has been freshly painted with large picture windows and refinished hardwood floors, a lasting quality not often found in modern homes. The kitchen retains its original charm while incorporating newly updated appliances. The floor plan features three well sized bedrooms with original built-in cabinetry and a full bathroom with classic period details.<br>Practical features include a spacious double carport with an attached laundry room and a second full bathroom with walk-in shower—ideal for rinsing off after a day at the beach or working in the yard. The laundry area connects directly to the kitchen for added convenience. Built on a classic post-and-pier foundation, the home also offers generous under-house storage, while durable vinyl siding provides low-maintenance living in Hilo’s tropical climate.<br>Perhaps the most appealing feature of this property is the beautifully landscaped, terraced yard that feels like your own secret garden. Meandering pathways lead through mature hapuʻu ferns and a diverse collection of ornamental plants, with a large grassy lawn surrounded by the forest beyond offering the ultimate tranquil escape.<br><br>This central location is hard to beat—just minutes to Hilo Benioff Medical Center (a major employment center), Downtown Hilo, the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo, and major shopping centers. Enjoy walking access to schools, a neighborhood café, gas station and convenience store, while nearby Saddle Road makes trips to West Hawaiʻi’s beaches and resorts quick and easy. Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a well-maintained home in a central location!
