Elegant Kamaaina home with Ohana guest house overlooking Richardson Beach. Ideal location in sunny Keaukaha, only minutes to downtown Hilo. Walk out your front door and swim, surf & snorkel. The Old Hawaii lifestyle is calling you back home.

From the ocean, stroll down the driveway and approach the gracious lava rock front porch with built-in Koa wood seat. Leaded stain glass windows flank the entry. Slide open the glass doors. Pause a moment and enjoy the sights, sounds & smells of the blue Pacific Ocean.

This historic home, built in the 1937, is in immaculate shape - from the new roof to the gleaming hardwood floors. Sun pours through skylights over vaulted beam ceilings creating a magical ambiance. Hardwood floors sooth your barefeet. The lava rock fireplace in the great room will warm your heart.

Enjoy views of one of Hilo's favorite beach areas from the living room, the spacious dining area, and the family room.

The kitchen has new appliances, stacking front-loading washer & dryer, spacious counters, and an island with extra storage. Old World charm and craftsmanship are evident throughout the interior and grounds. Elegant corner bedrooms offer views of the ocean or the manicured yards. Let the sounds of the ocean lull you to sleep.

Attached to the west end of the main home is the "Ohana" guest house. A separate entrance, bathroom and kitchen create an independent wing for your visiting friends and relatives. Koa hardwood cabinets, a full kitchen with ocean views and skylights create a warm nest that will be hard to leave. The windows offer serene ocean and garden views. The upstairs bedroom has tropical woven wall covering and a huge skylight.

This historic gem is now available. A home for connoisseurs who appreciate artisan details and exceptional quality combined with an outstanding location.

Homes like this are rarely available. The lifestyle that comes with it is priceless. Welcome to paradise!
