Description
Opportunity awaits at 155 W Kawalani Street! This property is perfect for buyers with vision who are ready to bring new life to a home in need of renovations. With solid bones and a flexible layout, this is your chance to create something truly special. The upper main living area offers a functional 3bd/1ba footprint with a large living room with a sunroom and a separate kitchen ready for updates and customization to suit your style. Downstairs, you’ll find a spacious area (1,092sf) featuring three separate rooms, an open common space (ideal for a future living area or lounge), and a bathroom that includes a traditional Japanese bath (furo) area. With thoughtful improvements, this lower level could be transformed into highly usable additional space—perfect for extended living, a creative studio, or flexible work-from-home options (buyer to verify). This home sits on a nice 1/3 of an acre of land with mature fruit trees (lychee, tangerine, pear, etc.) and lovely gardens to explore behind the home. The property is located in a very convenient location in Hilo (lower Waiakea) within walking distance to Waiakeawaena Elementary School, eating establishments & stores which offers both potential and value for those willing to invest or live. Whether you’re an investor or an owner-occupant looking to build equity and have room for extended family, this is a rare chance to unlock hidden possibilities. Bring your imagination—this property with lots of room is ready to shine!
