39 EKAHA ST, Hilo, HI 96720

Tucked into an established Hilo neighborhood just minutes from downtown, this refreshed plantation-era home offers a combination that’s increasingly hard to find: a convenient in-town location, a spacious fully fenced yard, classic Hilo character, and wonderful breezes throughout the day. The main living area features 3 bedrooms and 1 bath, with additional usable space downstairs. In keeping with many of Hilo’s older plantation-era homes, the lower level includes an additional bathroom that is not reflected in the County records, along with a large flex space. The downstairs area also provides an abundance of storage, giving the home considerably more functional space than you might expect at first glance. Recent updates make the home feel fresh and move-in ready, including new flooring and new appliances, including a refrigerator, stove, washer, and dryer. Exterior improvements include a new concrete driveway, new fencing surrounding the property, refreshed paint, and new aluminum gutters. The fully fenced yard offers plenty of room to garden and entertain. An established tangerine tree adds a taste of island living right from the yard. One of the home’s best features is its location. Hilo Medical Center, restaurants, shops, farmers market, and everyday conveniences are approximately five minutes away. Hilo International Airport is also less than 15 minutes away.
