Description
A rare opportunity in an established Hilo neighborhood within Zone 8, with excellent proximity to Hilo’s most popular attractions, without the usual traffic concerns.

This property spans three TMK parcels totaling 11,391 square feet, providing excellent potential for expansion or future development.

The third parcel (TMK 3-2-6-16-41) measures 430 sq. ft. Metered piped gas service is provided by Hawaiʻi Gas. This light-filled home has been lovingly rejuvenated and preserves the nostalgic charm and character of its era, such as the Dutch front door and double hung windows. The home features four permitted bedrooms, with one currently used as an office and another as a dining area, providing flexible living options. The primary bedroom captures a partial view of Hilo Bay. A large unfinished basement includes a fully permitted bathroom and laundry area, offering abundant storage and future potential. Outside, two carports and an additional rear patio create generous space for entertaining, hobbies, or a workshop. A portion of the backyard is fully fenced and gated for added privacy. You will also find additional storage and covered workshop space here. The grounds are thoughtfully landscaped with numerous flowering plants, including hāpuʻu ferns, hibiscus, orchids, a mature breadfruit tree, and young, producing lemon, calamansi, orange, kumquat, and papaya trees.
