    What's special

    Perched above a lush stream, this turn key Hilo home boasts custom floor-to-ceiling windows to bring the tranquility of the Hawaiian rainforest into the home. Designed for those who appreciate natural beauty and modern architectural lines, this property offers a rare treehouse perspective with all the comforts of a contemporary house. The heart of the home features an open-concept floor plan crowned by open-beams and high ceilings. Whether you are in the living room or the primary bedroom, the large windows create a seamless connection to the running stream and tropical palms. The lower level is an adaptable space, offering two multi-functional rooms currently utilized as a den and a secondary sleeping area. The full bathroom features a large soaking tub and separate walk-in shower finished with river-rock flooring and tile throughout. A large walk-in closet provides significant storage, complemented by a dedicated laundry room with brand new stacked washer and dryer. The experience continues outside with a fenced yard to bring a garden to life. An outdoor shower overlooking the stream allows you to fully immerse yourself in the rainforest atmosphere. Tucked away in a peaceful setting yet minutes from downtown Hilo and Hilo Medical Center, this home is the perfect balance of privacy and accessibility. Recent updates include refinished bamboo flooring, new vanity and toilet in en suite bathroom, new electrical fixtures throughout, new fridge, washer/dryer, newly finished stairs, and many other improvements! The house is offered turn key and move-in ready. Furnishings may be removed if desired. Fly-through video link: https://vimeo.com/1174617803?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci
