11-2912 Lehua St, Hilo, HI 96720

Privately set behind a curved drive is a beautiful custom home with many features you don't often find in this price range. Step onto the covered front lanai with slate tile and you can already feel the sense of love and pride of ownership this home exudes. The main living area greets you with soaring cathedral ceilings and access to the large 14x18 rear lanai. Windows on either side keep the space breezy and bright. Just off the living area is a huge kitchen with large pantry, ample cabinet space, granite counters, Whirlpool gas range, Frigidaire dishwasher, Maytag refrigerator, and microhood. But, perhaps the best feature of the kitchen is the built-in window seat and shelving which creates a very charming eat-in nook. Or perhaps, it's the direct access to the rear lanai and distant ocean view you can enjoy from the kitchen sink? You'll have to decide! Also located just off the living area is a sunny formal dining room with vaulted ceilings. Plenty of room to enjoy family meals here! Opposite the kitchen and dining area you'll find a cozy sitting room with gas fireplace perfect for snuggling up on those chilly Fern Acres nights. Adjacent to the sitting room is a spacious master suite, main bath, and two smaller bedrooms. The master suite offers views of the expansive lawn, walk-in closet, private bath with walk-in shower and dual shower heads, access to the interior laundry area, and access to the rear lanai. The main bath is a very functional space with a separate area for the deep soaking tub and toilet allowing occupants of the other two amply sized bedrooms to juggle getting ready with ease. Enjoy the screened-in rear lanai, play a game of catch on the expansive rear lawn, enjoy the bounties of the numerous plantings, or tinker away in the huge 24x36 carport with mezzaine storage. Located just 30 minutes from Hilo, in a most serene setting, this home is a rare Fern Acres beauty ideal for those who enjoy the little touches that create one amazing package!
