Description
Showstopping ocean-view property! This stunning vintage home has been meticulously reimagined by its owner, a professional interior designer, with no detail overlooked and no expense spared. The floor to ceiling renovation was completed in 2024, blending stylish modern updates with the home’s timeless sophistication.
Perched on Halaulani Place—one of Hilo’s most prestigious neighborhoods, known for its carriage lights and tree-lined streets—the home sits high above a fern-covered slope, offering breathtaking views of Kalalau Stream and the expansive ocean beyond.
The open great room blends living and dining areas, with original double-hung windows that honor the home’s heritage while perfectly framing dramatic ocean vistas. A pass-through leads to the beautifully equipped kitchen, designed with an open-air concept featuring motorized disappearing screens that showcase ocean views from every angle. Custom maple-lined, soft-close cabinetry, a pantry, double ovens, and a high-efficiency induction cooktop elevate style and functionality.
The interior dining area opens to a wraparound lanai with weather-resistant Trex decking, offering space to host a meal, dancing, lounging, and whale watching—this is the entertainer’s dream!
The three bedrooms combine character with sophistication. The primary suite includes a spa-inspired bath and opens to a private Zen garden with an outdoor shower. Two additional bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath with a marble-tiled rain shower, while the makai bedroom opens directly to the screened lanai, featuring its own outdoor kitchenette—perfect for your lucky guests.
Additional features include a lower-level carport with electric car charger and stairway access to the lanai, a partially finished 1,000 sq. ft. basement for storage or workspace, and a property boundary extending to the middle of the stream. Most furnishings are negotiable, making this a rare turnkey opportunity in one of Hilo’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
