Description
Rare income-producing duplex walking distance to Downtown Hilo. Two spacious 2-bedroom, 1-bath units, each with upgraded electrical and plumbing, make this a smart choice for owner-occupants looking to offset housing costs or investors seeking a low-maintenance rental property. The duplex has performed well as both a long-term and hosted vacation rental. The upstairs unit has plantation-era charm with 9' ceilings, large double-hung windows, and a front lanai that overlooks mature tropical landscaping. Inside, the open kitchen and living area have been updated with granite countertops, new fixtures, and engineered hardwood floors. The kitchen includes a gas range and ample counter space, with a stacked washer/dryer tucked into the pantry. Two well-sized bedrooms share a full hall bathroom. R-30 attic insulation and Hilo breezes keep the temperature comfortable year-round. The property has piped propane gas, an uncommon feature in Hilo that helps keep utility costs low. A walking path leads to the lower unit, which opens into a screened lanai. Recent updates to this unit include vinyl flooring, drywall, fresh paint, LED lighting, and modern fixtures. The bright full bathroom features custom tile work. A hall closet provides extra storage, with in-unit laundry. A full-height basement sits below. The backyard is private and lush, with tropical foliage, a grassy area, and mature citrus. Situated on Lehua Street just over the Wailuku River in lava zone 8, the property is walkable to Downtown Hilo restaurants, K-12 public schools, the Farmers Market, public library, Kapalaoa Landing Beach Park, and the Bayfront recreation area.Showings by appointment only.
