About this listing

Welcome home to this beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 3-bath residence nestled in the highly sought-after University Heights neighborhood of Hilo. Elevated on the property to capture cooling breezes and surrounded by lush tropical gardens, this home offers the perfect blend of classic Hawaiian character and Island lifestyle. Located just a short walk to the University and neighborhood parks, and to conveniences and local shopping. Step inside to discover the coveted vintage Hilo hardwood floors that add warmth and timeless elegance throughout the redwood home. Recent remodels include beautifully crafted custom closets, office workspace with new practical shelving and exotic zebrawood breakfast counter. New ceiling fans throughout the home ensure year-round comfort. The updated bathrooms now feature artisan tiled showers, stylish new counter tops, new vanities and sinks. One of the home's standout features is the expansive remodeled lanai room, filled with natural light, cooling airflow, and garden doors that seamlessly connect indoor and outdoor living to the tropical garden. An array of colorful flowering plants, rare ponytail palms, mature bamboo and vibrant bougainvillea invite you to unwind in the shaded, covered sitting area by the custom-built tool shed or relax in the large 480 sf. family-style carport. A brand-new premium exterior painting job gives the exceptional home a fresh curb appeal. Furniture can be purchased separately.
