A rare opportunity to enjoy privacy, comfort, and the feeling of true island homecoming in one of the most appealing pockets of Hawaiian Paradise Park. Located on the mauka (mountain/inland) side of Hwy 130 in the quiet Pohaku Circle enclave, this often-overlooked area offers so many of the qualities buyers hope to find: paved roads, well-maintained homes, established landscaping, grid power, public transportation, and convenient access to main roads. Ideally positioned between the towns of Keaau and Pahoa, the location makes daily errands and dining easy, while Hilo is just a short drive farther for government offices, UH Hilo, Hilo International Airport, and all the recreation of the Pacific Ocean, from swimming and canoeing to fishing, sailing, and surfing. Set mid-block for an exceptional sense of seclusion, the property welcomes you with mature perimeter trees, a subtle paved driveway entrance, and lush tropical landscaping featuring monstera, palms, bromeliads, lychee, and more. The three-bedroom home rests on a gentle rise, allowing pleasant views to both the front and back of the property. Recent thoughtful improvements enhance both comfort and value, including remodeled bathrooms and kitchen, painting, flooring, and the transformation of what was once an open deck into a fully covered lanai (outdoor living space) spanning almost the entire back of the home. Peaceful, inviting, and beautifully updated, this property captures the charm, convenience, and lifestyle that make living in Hawaii so special. A true value as one of the least expensive three bedroom homes in the neighborhood.
