Classic Kama\'aina charming home located close to everything, this rare offering is sure to please! Built in 1924, this home has been lovingly cared for, featuring two comfortable bedrooms upstairs, a full bath and an open-concept kitchen/dining/living area. It is in walking distance of downtown Hilo and Hilo Bay; close to shops, eateries, farmers markets, museums, trails/bike path, parks & the PO.

As you ascend the freshly re-done front steps, you will surely be pleased by the ample space that greets you on the front lanai — a perfect spot to enjoy your morning cup of coffee or lounge around while listening to the sounds of the resident birds singing happily in the trees. Enter the home through original french doors to an open space reminiscent of the good \'ole days, featuring custom real wood louver window treatments, original hardwood floors & cabinetry and antique ceiling sconces. Take notice of the walls and floors throughout the living space — famed local artist Andy Kay, inspired by Hawaii and beyond, hand painted these extensive mural masterpieces. Original stained glass window and antique hutch with matching mirror in the bathroom feels inspired by a french boutique hotel. A sweet lanai off the back of the house affords peek-a-boo ocean views and a nice spot to enjoy the breeze & relax with pupus & a bottle of brew.

Tucked away downstairs you will be pleased to find such a large space, perfect for extended family, a workshop or a home office — your imagination is your only limit! There is a bathroom and much potential for perhaps a rental property or vacation rental, as area zoning would support.

The property is fully fenced and surrounded by lush landscaping on all sides, providing you a private oasis all your own. The easy care yard features a large array of fruits and tropical botanicals such as lipstick palms, tahitian gardenia, hibiscus, hapu\'u fern, ginger flowers, ti-leaf, palms and citrus to name a few!
