1266 Kilikina St, Hilo, HI 96720

This house sits in a serene spot on a slight rise above a cul-de-sac street. The large, airy, manicured backyard abuts state watershed land for added quiet and privacy yet the well-established neighborhood is inside city limits, near Hilo Medical Center and only minutes to downtown Hilo and the University. Mature avocado and other fruit trees border the fenced yard. Inside the well-maintained, simple exterior lies a beautifully kept interior. The U-shaped, single storey floor plan provides excellent airflow throughout the house. Sliding glass doors open from the living room, dining room and master bedroom onto an open courtyard/patio. The rooms are well-proportioned with a large, high-ceilinged living room. A parlor adjacent to the living room currently easily accommodates a baby grand piano and could also serve as a library or home office. An island separates the spacious kitchen and dining rooms. The kitchen is fully updated with stainless steel appliances and a dual-fuel stove (gas range, electric oven). A separate pantry, a lovely view and the original, ample, koa wood cabinetry remain to create a cook's delight. In addition to the master bedroom and bath, the bedroom wing of the house includes two bedrooms, a full bath and a well-appointed laundry room. The good-sized master bedroom has a walk-in closet and separate linen closet. The master bathroom has been renovated with marble floors and counter tops and all new fixtures, including an over-sized bath tub. The house has been updated with all new flooring including sleek, real oak flooring throughout much of the living areas. All the bedrooms and the living room have ceiling fans. Most of the attic space has been insulated to maintain comfortable interior temperatures. An attached, two-car garage at the side of the house provides a private entrance to the home'
