Description:
Located only minutes from Downtown Hilo and located on the north Hilo coast, this meticulously maintained oceanfront Hawaiian Plantation style home is a classic “must see”. Whale watching from your deck, up front views of the ocean, coastline and Hilo Bay. There are not much more dramatic views than what you will see here.

Built in 1956, this 4 bed/3.5 bath home provides views from every room. The sunken living room and original Honduran Mahogany floors have that old Hawaii feel, country living yet with the updates that today’s owner’s want. With 2,707 sqft of living area, a 2-car garage plus a 2-car carport, there is ample room and storage in this home.

Situated on 1 acre of land, the current owner has revitalized the original “Japanese” style landscaped garden, built by the original owner. The garden includes a walking path that meanders past the year-round stream’s edge. Seasonally from time to time there are 2 small waterfalls on the property. With dusk to dawn exterior lighting, you can enjoy the peace and solitude of the landscaped garden at any time of the day.

This property provides quiet and privacy behind a beautifully crafted rock wall and iron gate. The home is set back far from the road at the end of a long driveway which also has dusk to dawn lighting. Everything about this property has been thoughtful, from the location of the home, the floor to ceiling windows, the view planes, landscaping and on and on. This is a property that words do not do justice, it has to be seen and felt to appreciate.
