PANORAMIC PERFECTION IN HILO’S MOST DESIRABLE COMMUNITY. Dramatic cliff-front home, directly above Honoli’i Beach Park, with breathtaking panoramic and unobstructable views extending from Honoli’i point across the entire expanse of Hilo bay and Keaukaha. This 2,106 sq. ft. four bedroom, two bath home is exceedingly well maintained, with a magnificent master bedroom suite, fully glassed-in sunroom, and a state-of-the-art kitchen with high-end finishes. Taking full advantage of its ocean exposure is almost 700 sq. ft. of covered lanais . The sale includes fully permitted plans to add a cliff-front infinity pool and an 800 sq. ft. magnificent two story pool house. The house has been tested by the recent once-in-a-century Hurricane Iselle, and survived it without damage of any kind. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and is the first cliff-front home on exclusive Makakai Place to sell in over 20 years. PROPERTY WENT INTO ESROW SAME DAY AS ACTIVATION ON MLS. BACK UP OFFERS ENCOURAGED.
