Very well kept kama'aina home in one of Hilo's most convenient locations...lots of possibilities for expansion or for an additional dwelling. Walking distance to everything such as Lokahi tennis courts, Waiakea Elementary, Waiakea Intermediate, Waiakea High School, University of Hawaii at Hilo and KTA. The top floor features three bedrooms and one bath, covered lanai, high ceilings, newly painted interior, and a large eat-in kitchen. The expansive downstairs basement features an interior staircase, two additional rooms, an open play area, storage area, and an additional bath. Thoughtful upgrades over the years were completed for electric, plumbing, replaced roof, and newly painted interior and exterior. The upgraded water heater is a split system energy saving heat pump, permitted gas lines are connected to the dryer, range and convection oven. The exterior features a nice parking area and a beautiful fenced in front yard great for playing or for any animals you may have. Back yard is surprisingly large and extends all the way to the concrete driveway. Lush landscaping surrounding the home makes for a very beautiful, tropical setting.
