Introducing a breathtaking ocean-view residence! This elegant vintage property has been thoroughly transformed by its owner, a skilled interior designer, ensuring every aspect was thoughtfully considered without cutting any corners. Renovations extending from floor to ceiling were finalized in 2024, harmonizing chic modern enhancements with the residence’s timeless elegance. Located in Halaulani Place, a highly coveted neighborhood in Hilo known for its charming carriage lights and beautifully landscaped streets, the home is perched on a serene fern-covered slope, showcasing spectacular views of Kalalau Stream and the wide ocean horizon. The spacious great room merges living and dining spaces, featuring original double-hung windows that celebrate the property’s history while perfectly framing stunning ocean scenery. A convenient pass-through connects to the well-equipped kitchen, designed with an open-air layout and innovative motorized disappearing screens that maximize ocean vistas from all sides. Enjoy custom maple cabinets with soft-close features, a pantry, double ovens, and an energy-efficient induction cooktop that blends beauty and practicality seamlessly.

The interior dining space opens onto a wrap-around lanai featuring weather-resistant Trex decking, ideal for hosting meals, dancing, relaxing, or even spotting whales—this is a true entertainer’s paradise! The three bedrooms strike a balance between character and elegance. The primary suite is equipped with a spa-like bath and opens to a serene Zen garden, complete with an outdoor shower. Two other bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath fitted with a marble rain shower, while the makai bedroom has direct access to the screened lanai, which includes its very own outdoor kitchenette—perfect for entertaining guests. Additional highlights include a lower-level carport with an electric vehicle charger and stairway access to the lanai, a partially finished 1,000 square foot basement for extra storage or work space, and property boundaries extending to the middle of the stream. Most furnishings are negotiable, presenting a unique turnkey opportunity in one of Hilo’s most desirable areas.
