255 ANELA ST Hilo, HI 96720

If you enjoy unique architecture, both inside & out, this home may be just what you're looking for. If you like the idea of being within a mile of the largest shopping district in town, this home could be what you're looking for. If you have kids & would appreciate their school being, almost literally, at the end of your street, this could be home. For Costco runs & beaches, the road to Kona is a convenient left turn, again, right down the street. If you enjoy observing the myriad, vibrant colors of the morning sun & the evening sky, viewing the drama of showers from enormous clouds passing above a distant ocean & the frequent fragrance of blooming flowers, all from your lanai, this could be your home.

The front entry is tiled as well as the primary bath area & kitchen. Living & office areas have premium hand scraped, engineered Acacia Koa flooring. Primary bedroom has sculptured Mohawk Heirloom stain resistant loop pile Berber. Upstairs bedrooms & bathroom floors are waterproof laminate & the landing is tiled.

Because the second-floor loft, with its two oversize bedrooms & full bath, overlooks the 1st floor, the sense of the home seems larger than its 1555 square feet. From the 1st floor, the soaring beams & high windows provide the same sense of space.

The office area features nearly 9-foot-tall bookcases with a rich pecan finish, adjustable shelves & decorative, dimmable lighting.

The horizontal (top of the house) roofing was given three coats of Sherwin-Williams metal roof paint last September as well as the carport roofing. The front facing vertical roofing on the house was replaced in the same time frame.

The home has leased (transferable) solar panels & the electric bills average $150 per month.

This third of an acre with its overgrown grasses, ferns & large trees reflect some of what the owners first fell in love with in the Hawaiian Islands. With a little vision, it could be converted into your own bit of paradise.
