This classic Kamaaina home features open beam ceilings, redwood construction, a spacious lanai and lots of updates! The house is perched on a corner lot, with three bedrooms, two baths, a bonus office, dual lofts and a fully fenced back yard with mature landscaping. Located in cool Waiakea Uka, just 10 minutes above the University of Hawaii at Hilo. Shoji doors accent the home throughout, which has been thoroughly updated. New flooring, kitchen and bathrooms, along with a repainted exterior give this classic design a fresh look. Two lofts offer lots of storage, with one of them being perfect for office use or even sleepover guests. The master bedroom features large closets and a bonus office area overlooking the back yard's mature fruit trees and garden, while a spacious guest bedroom suite sits at the other end of the home with a private entry and bath, perfect for a mother in law or rental situation. The main living area enjoys sky-high ceilings thanks to an open beam design and a built in fireplace provides elegance and functionality on cold winter evenings. Prepare meals in the updated kitchen, then wander back to the covered lanai overlooking the spacious back yard to entertain guests and take in mother nature.
