Sitting proudly at the top of a palm lined drive in a gated enclave just minutes from Hilo, this well-maintained home features a manicured lawn, happy fruit trees and tropical foliage that the deep volcanic soils north of Hilo so famously produce! The sounds of the adjacent stream provide a perfect sleeping concert year round. With 2 large bedrooms and an open concept kitchen/living room, the home is located just off the scenic drive north of Hilo. It's just minutes from the world famous botanical gardens and Onomea Bay where ocean access is an EZ stroll away. For days when our cool trades take a break, two split AC units cool the living area. The oversized, extra high garage opens to the laundry where a 3/4 bath is handy after a day at the beach or after time spent in the garden. A generous laundry space with room for a freezer or additional storage is also located in this area. A surprising large kitchen boosts lots of counter space, breakfast bar, high-end refrigerator and solid wood cabinetry. New carpeting with thick padding can be found thru-out the remainder of the home. Another "cool" feature is the whole-house attic fan that helps draw cool air in at night. Large windows let you enjoy the view of the manicured yard. Popular post-and-pier construction help keep the house cool while providing EZ access to utilities. Raised bed planters, and Hapuu garden are a few unexpected treats behind the home. Barely visible, only 3 homes share the private, gated drive-way. An additional home was apparently once part of this property and an additional TMK (3/-7-31-16) will be conveyed with this parcel. It's a hidden spot that's EZ to expand and super EZ to fall in love with!
