Set on a generous 13,124 sq. ft lot, this renovated single-level home in Hilo offers a rare combination of space, privacy, and flexibility. Tucked away from the main road and accessed via a private easement, the property provides a quiet setting while remaining conveniently located near town.
The fully usable yard—fenced on three sides—offers ample room for gardening, outdoor living, or exploring future improvements. Properties with this much space are increasingly hard to find in this price range.
The home features 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, along with a spacious 3-car carport. Recent renovations showcase quality craftsmanship throughout, with new appliances and split AC units installed in the primary bedroom and main living area for added comfort.
With its combination of land, location, and existing improvements, this property offers a unique opportunity to enjoy now while maintaining flexibility for the future.
