Single Family Residence in Hilo, HI

Surrounded by mature island landscaping and custom rockwork, this Kaumana City home blends character, comfort, and flexibility. Located just off Old Saddle Road with quick access to the new Saddle Road, it enjoys an ideal Up Country position with cooler temperatures and an easy commute to Hilo or across the island. Inside, the craftsmanship is immediate: vaulted wood ceilings, refinished oak floors, and distinctive windows that pull in natural light and garden views. The main level offers two welcoming bedrooms, an updated bath with a Kohler walk-in shower, and a refreshed kitchen with granite counters, oak cabinetry, and stained-glass accents. A versatile wing at the back of the home includes a wet bar, gas cooktop, sink, and bonus room-ideal for a private guest suite, hosted rental, workspace, or multi-generational setup with its own exterior entrance. The primary bedroom occupies the upper level with an office nook, remodeled full bath, and views of Hilo town and the ocean horizon. Terraced anthurium and hapuu gardens lead to the impressive 20' x 36' greenhouse surrounded by a protective water moat. The top of the property offers an exceptional setting-perfect for a small table, evening wine, and quiet moments with a beautiful view. The greenhouse offers real sustainability potential for vegetables, orchids, or a yoga or wellness space, and it can also serve as a creative studio or day-spa concept. Hand-selected shiplap redwood siding, antique nautical lighting, English stained glass, crystal chandeliers, and quality masonry highlight the home's unique personality. Parking includes an enclosed two-car garage, separate carport, and additional guest-suite parking. Beautifully maintained and thoughtfully designed, this home is truly one-of-a-kind-rich in detail, full of possibility, and perfectly positioned in Kaumana City.
