This artfully updated plantation-era home offers versatility, vintage charm, and unbeatable value in the heart of Hilo. Located at the end of a small driveway in a convenient, walkable neighborhood, you're just minutes from shopping, restaurants, schools (public/private elementary, intermediate, and high schools and UH Hilo), the post office, the historic Palace Theater, and Hilo Bayfront's parks. Upstairs, this bright and welcoming home features hardwood floors, 9.5'-foot ceilings, and large windows. The layout feels open and inviting, blending original details with subtle, modern updates. The generous primary bedroom includes a sunny office nook-ideal for creative work or quiet reading-while a second bedroom offers a cozy space for guests or children. A full bath with vintage character serves the upper level. The kitchen has been tastefully updated with new fixtures, appliances, open shelving, and an expansive quartz countertop. The built-in pantry and refreshed cabinetry offer plenty of storage, while the sweet breakfast nook invites casual dining or the perfect place to enjoy morning coffee. Enjoy a postcard-worthy view of Mauna Kea through a large landscape window at the kitchen sink. An interior staircase connects to the lower level, which is separately metered for electricity and has its own mailbox (294 D), making it ideal for extended living, rental potential, or workspace. This level includes multiple rooms, two bathrooms, a family room, a large utility area, and ample storage. Parking is a breeze with an attached garage on the lower level, a detached carport, and paved driveway-offering plenty of space for vehicles, tools, and toys. The low-maintenance yard features raised garden beds and still leaves room to plant your favorite fruit trees. Offered furnished, this home is move-in ready and truly one of the best values in Hilo!
