Description

A classic Hilo style, ocean view home in the highly desired and rarely available, Keaukaha area of town. Located across the street from the ocean, it's just minutes from the popular Richardson's Ocean Park and Carlsmith Ocean Park, with sandy bottoms and where the Honu turtles can be seen resting on the beach. One can enjoy a variety of ocean related activities from swimming and snorkeling to surfing and kayaking. Humpback whales can occasionally be seen breaching off shore during their annual winter migration to Hawai`i.Inside, you'll find 9' ceilings and single wall construction, with the kind of woodwork you just don't see any more, when craftmanship was king. New Hawaiian Silky Oak trim around the doors and windows lends a warm and colorful look to the ambiance of the home. The appliances and Birch cabinets are also fairly new, and in excellent condition.At just under 1/2 acre, the lot has been completely cleared, with a massive rock wall in the front. The RS-15 zoning would suggest Ohana possibilites, Buyer to contact the Planning Dept. for more information on that subject.The lower level which is finished with pine T&G paneling, and artfully incorporating the natural lava features of the land, had been completed by a previous owner. It offers abundant storage that could be used as 3 bedrooms, along with a toilet. In the utility room there is a large shower.Be sure to click on the video icon at the top of this listing for a 3D virtual tour of this gem of a home!
