744 Wainaku St, Hilo, HI 96720

A Classic Hilo Gem. Tucked away in old Wainaku and overlooking Hilo Bay, this 1938 Kama'aina Home is what everyone looks for in a classic plantation home. The hardwood flooring and T&G walls and ceilings capture all that plantation charm. A unique and favorite feature of this home is a traditional Tea Room (second living space) that overlooks Hilo Bay, with vast picture windows, which allows so much natural light into this beautiful sitting area. The living and dining room area are complimented by gorgeous bay windows that provide ample sitting space and storage. As you follow through to the kitchen area, you will be surprised by how much space is available to customize for your needs. All appliances in the kitchen are brand-new. The dark blue cabinets and granite counter tops are the perfect touch of modernization to this classic plantation home. Plus, with original pantry built-ins, along with additional pantry space in the new cabinetry, you have an abundance of storage. Landscaping includes lemon, lime and surinam cherry trees with a cute white picket fence and minimal yard maintenance. There is also parking available in the rear of the property that comfortably accommodates two vehicles. *BONUS- this home was updated to a septic tank in 2015, and has PV Solar with a Tesla battery to help offset increasing electricity costs! Take advantage of the Ha'aheo School district, and just a short drive or bike ride to the popular surf spot Honoli'i Beach Park. Hilo town is also just a few minutes away! ***Buyers and agents- Please note that the address for this home may be confused with the neighboring property 744-A Wainaku street.
