1668 KILAUEA AVE Hilo, HI 96720

Charm meets convenience at this adorable kama'aina home in the heart of Hilo!

Lovingly cared for over the years, the property offers an excellent opportunity for first time home buyers, investors seeking rental income, or for multi-generational living. Upstairs is a cozy 2 bedroom, 1.25 bath with high ceilings, classic built-ins, and newer dual pane windows for energy efficiency and noise reduction. Downstairs you'll find an additional 1 bedroom, 1 bath, with kitchenette, providing a ton of flexibility. Live in one and rent the other, have space for extended family or guests, or rent out both units. It could also be a home office, hobby space, man cave, you name it!

Lush tropical landscaping and productive citrus trees adds to the curb appeal. The location could not be more convenient as you're walking distance to Hawaii Community College, UH-Hilo, Waiakea High School, and the Hilo Shopping Center, and a five minute drive to practically anywhere in town.

The current owners added a solar water heater to help reduce energy costs and a 220v outlet in the carport for electric vehicle charging. The home was tented by Veteran Termite on June 6, 2025 and has a three year warranty.
