Description
Located in one of Hilo's most highly desired neighborhoods on over a 1/2 acre with a seasonal stream and ocean views! This is the first time that this home has been offered for sale. Talk about history... if these walls could talk... The original owner was E. B.de Silva, who helped create of the Department of Educations in the early days of statehood. His wife, an elementary school principal & founder of the East Hawaii Cultural Center, designed the home with open areas for frequent entertaining....Located in one of Hilo's most highly desired neighborhoods on over a 1/2 acre with a seasonal stream and ocean views! This is the first time that this home has been offered for sale. Talk about history... if these walls could talk... The original owner was E. B.de Silva, who helped create of the Department of Educations in the early days of statehood. His wife, an elementary school principal & founder of the East Hawaii Cultural Center, designed the home with open areas for frequent entertaining. Some updates and improvements have taken place, but the original character was retained. Inside you'll find hardwood floors and a wall of windows in the living room that open to the lanai overlooking the mature landscaped gardens and ocean views. A spacious eat-in kitchen with butler’s pantry area (with laundry chute!) offers spacious counter area and lots of storage, and windows that bathe the interior in natural light. The large main bedroom offers dual closets and built-in dressers and vanity table. The second upstairs bedroom also has two closets, and windows that let in breathtaking morning views. The upstairs bathroom is large, not a common finding for homes built in this era. Downstairs is the third bedroom, with windows that overlook the gardens, which could also function as an office. The multi-level terraced garden was created in the early 1960s, with four bridges crossing the seasonal stream. Over the years it has become overgrown, but the much of the original rock walls can still be found. The beautiful garden includes fruit bearing lemon, tangerine, grapefruit & mountain apple trees in addition to the mangosteen and bananas. There are also orange, avocado, cacao, breadfruit and mango trees that have not yet reached fruiting maturity. Minutes from Hilo Medical Center, in the highly desirable DeSilva school district. Termite tented 3/31/22, 2 yr warranty Gems like this are rarely available. Own a piece of Hilo's history.
