221-B Lanikaula St Hilo, HI 96720

Welcome to 221B W Lanikaula St. Never been sold, this charming and private Japanese-inspired residence— imagined and built by the Owner's parents throughout the 60s & 70s— is one you don't wanna miss.

As you enter the main dwelling, you are greeted by a large, open dining area with seamless wood-framed screen windows & doors on the back side of the house that invite natural light in to fill the room and allow for everyday enjoyment of the lush vegetation in the backyard from the comfort of the home. The spacious primary bedroom (or guest bedroom, you choose!) is to the left-hand side of the dining area, behind a set of traditional Japanese-style Shoji doors. On the right end of the dining room area is an area for a large bar— there's even a pass-through Shoji window to the kitchen— perfect for entertaining. Two-step stairs from the dining area lead you up to the open-concept kitchen & living room area, full bathroom and additional bedroom. The main dwelling features a wood beam vaulted ceiling in the living room and Douglas fir wood floors in the living room & additional bedroom.

An entry/exit door next to the bar area leads you out to a paved pathway that first brings you to a guest bedroom off of the main dwelling (with separate, exterior entrance) then on to the separate 2 bedroom, 3/4 bath cottage at the back corner of the property. A separate flex space on one end of the main dwelling can be used for storage, as a studio, etc.

The property is abundant with vegetation— perfect for someone with a green thumb or who simply aspires for a lush & thriving property.

Although located off of Lanikaula St, the home is situated at the tail end of a long, private driveway, making the home feel further removed from the bustling area. Just across the way from both UH Hilo Campus and Waiakea High School, and a few minutes drive from Downtown and Prince Kuhio Plaza, you are a stone's throw from all Hilo has to offer.
