This home offers a versatile floor plan, with the kitchen as a true centerpiece, designed for those who love to cook and gather. It features an expansive prep island that anchors the room, accented by a charming custom tile design that adds a unique personality to the space.

This open-concept space is exceptionally versatile, offering ample room for a dining table, a sectional lounge, or even a drum set. And to ensure your comfort, the home is equipped with a comprehensive cooling system: 4 AC units strategically placed in the living room, master suite, and both bedrooms. The property is framed by lush, emerald lawns-a refreshing departure from the typical volcanic rock or dirt lots. The backyard has fencing for privacy and security, and it serves as a haven for pets or play. And 2 large storage sheds provide the perfect footprint for a professional workshop, garden shed, or hobby room. The oversized attached garage is a homeowner's dream. It features a brand-new automatic opener, a storage closet, and dual-access doors to both the front and back yards. It also houses a full-size washer and dryer, a heavy-duty utility sink, and a convenient private shower stall. Enjoy the peace of a residential neighborhood without sacrificing convenience. You are just a short stroll from the famous "da Store" for quick essentials. A brief 10-minute drive brings you to the heart of Pahoa, where you'll find dining, shopping, and schools. For more robust needs, the city of Hilo is only 30 minutes away, offering major medical facilities, the mall, and an array of entertainment options.
