Description
Hilo Town Tropical Tranquil Retreat. What may look like an ordinary house from the front, is anything but ordinary - it has a secret...or two... At the end of its driveway you will find the unassuming two story home. The exterior is what you would expect: well built with covered parking and a welcoming entry lanai that is surrounded by attractive tropical landscaping. Step inside and you will know this is no ordinary home: you will be immediately greeted by the double height soaring ceilings. Taking it all in, it just gets better. The spacious eat-in kitchen anchors the center of the home on the ground floor, while the lower level bedrooms and bathrooms are situated at the far ends of the house. The primary suite is a treat for the homeowner or that special guest - large, lots of natural light, and a custom ensuite bathroom. The second ground-floor bedroom is no slouch either: large, well lit, and well-appointed. Bedrooms three and four on the upper level are at opposite ends of the home - perfect for privacy and views of HIlo town to Hilo Bay and the Pacific Ocean beyond. The best parts are still to come, including the secrets... The ocean side of the home has a long covered lanai from which you can enjoy morning coffee or look down to the... miniature golf style putting green. Fun! And then there is the real secret. The real secret is the Retreat: a covered, open-air room built just above the babbling brook that flows through the backyard. That's right, the backyard has a freshwater stream. The back of the home is a true sanctuary: small waterfalls, lava rock pools, tropical plants, koi, guppies, and opae 'ai (crawfish or crayfish). The tranquility and privacy are preserved by the beautiful lava rock walls - the perfect backdrop for this true Hawaii naturescape. Did we mention the property has a solar/photovoltaic system for affordable, sustainable electric power? Hilo has few properties like this, and rarely do they become available.
