    What's special

    Elegant great room
    Welcome to Halai Hill, rich in Hawaiian Lore and Hilo's history. Perched on this iconic hill, you'll find an impressive three story home overlooking Hilo Bay. The top floor is the primary suite, with a large deck to enjoy the spectacular ocean views. Vaulted open beam ceilings create a warm and elegant ambiance. The ensuite bathroom features a soaking tub, twin vanities, and a large walk in shower. When you enter the home on the main floor, the view of the ocean through the sliding doors to the deck is breathtaking. The elegant great room and open kitchen have recently been upgraded with new appliances and freshly painted. Downstairs you'll find two large bedrooms, each of them a corner room with wonderful views and great airflow. A full bathroom completes this floor. The ground floor is a full basement open to the back yard with Ulu trees, lemon trees, and a grassy lawn. With close proximity to the Hilo Benioff Medical Center, the University of Hawaii at Hilo, and Bayfront, the location is exceptional. Come and be a part of this vibrant tapestry we call Hilo Hawaii.
