Feeling a bit cramped? Too many elbows in your elbow room? Located just minutes from schools, shopping, parks, UH-HILO, Hilo Hospital and Bayfront recreational activities, this expansive home not only offers (mostly) single level living, tons of storage, it has recently undergone extensive updating and is ready for a new family to enjoy the home as much as the current one has. Enter thru double doors to find a formal sunken living room with soaring ceilings and functional fireplace on one side. To the right of the entry is a large family room with built-ins and huge windows that flood the space with light. Both spaces have brand new gleaming Curly Koa laminate and ceiling fans. The flow of the home leads seamless to the large dining area and a kitchen with new lower custom cabinets, beautiful black solid granite counters, heavy gauge sink and stainless appliances. With direct access also from the carport, the kitchen is highlighted by an oversized custom breakfast bar that provides terrific work space and allows the chef to be part of the conversation that is sure to happen in adjoining spaces. Just steps from the kitchen is an interior laundry and 3/4 bath along with a 400 sf rear lanai. Located down the central hall, there are 4 large bedrooms and a common bath that’s new from top to bottom. All bedrooms have ceiling fans and solid surface flooring. Spanning the rear of the home, the master suite sports tons of built-ins, lots of deep closet space and a luxurious master bath with step up spa with in-line heater, deep shower, gorgeous new vanity, fixtures and flooring. Busy families will appreciated two hot water heaters that assure a everyone enjoys a happy shower. But it’s the little things like new baseboards, freshly painted carport, flood lights controlled from both the hall and master and new switches and new electrical box that you’ll appreciate as time goes by. It’s not just a beautiful home, it’s a great package you’ll fall in lov
