Description

Prominently positioned on a corner culd-e-sac in the Kaumana community, this Metal Framed Construction has a total of 3824 sf under roof. This 4 bedrooms, 3.75 bathroom home is a masterclass in tropical living, blending architectural excellence with designer upgrades. The neighborhood is characterized by a high concentration of medical professionals who value the area's refined character plus proximity to the nearby Hilo Hospital (now Benioff Medical Center), creating a serene & welcoming environment. The crown jewel of the property is a magical secret garden that is a true private sanctuary. A custom waterfall centerpiece provides a soothing soundtrack to evenings spent on the lanai or around the gas fire pit, all illuminated by a perfect outdoor lighting system that transforms the landscape into a glowing oasis after dark. Inside, the home’s layout is as functional as it is richly beautiful, featuring expansive views of Kaumana Wilderness from the walls of windows, bringing the lush Hilo greenery indoors. Recent SMART whole house electrical & mechanical upgrades enhancing energy efficiency and modern reliability. On the lower level, you’ll find a fully contained 1 bd/1.25 highly successful hosted short-term vacation rental (STVR) with it's own entry, outdoor shower, BBQ, a hot tub & covered lanai with an outdoor kitchen. A high occupancy rate & lucrative income generation averaging $4600/MO GSI offers a turnkey opportunity for equitable income! The prime location strikes the perfect balance between seclusion and convenience. While enjoying the cooler air of the higher elevation, you remain just minutes from the vibrant energy of downtown Hilo and the iconic Bayfront. With the Benioff Medical Center and Boiling Pots close by, this property offers a chance to own a piece of paradise that pays for itself in a premier Hilo location. The home is served by the blue-ribbon award winning DeSilva Elementary School. Modern Tech meets Custom Luxury!
