Description
Don't miss this fantastic opportunity to own a charming 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home with two spacious bonus rooms offering endless possibilities. Ideally located in lower Waiakea Uka, just minutes from the University and Hilo shopping centers. Built in the 1950s, this well-maintained home is in an elevated location. Enjoy the gentle cooler trade winds, changing weather patterns, and views of Mauna Kea and a peek of Hilo Bay. The property is a generous size 20,000 sf with plenty of room for a garden or expansion, and is setback from the road buffering the noise. This would make a wonderful primary residence or investment opportunity!
