49 PAUKAA DR, HILO, HI 96720

Modern, minimal and elegant design captures the essence of this property.  Ocean views from the front of the house elevate the mood and bring a sense of tranquility to the home.  

The original porte cochere has been enclosed for additional indoor/outdoor space - host a large dinner party, cozy up to reading a book, or enjoy your morning coffee.  Then enter the house to an intimate, open concept living space.  A recently remodeled kitchen brightens the space with quartz countertops, custom walnut cabinets, ample smart storage, panel dishwasher, and a range with efficient induction cooktop and double oven. An enclosed laundry room can be found on this level along with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom.

Head up the stairs to the second level where you will find the additional bedrooms.  The primary bedroom is spacious, bright and comfortable. A walk-in closet with cedar-lined walls and an en-suite bathroom are included here.  A sliding door opens up to the bathroom with a walk-in shower and also a tub for soaking.  The additional bedroom is petite and quaint making it perfect for a nursery or home office.  Both rooms have spectacular ocean views!

On nearly half an acre of land, the owners have taken careful thought and consideration into shaping the landscape and also creating privacy.  Many fruit trees line the roadway and are plentiful in season. Bamboo clusters border the back of the property.

Pauka’a is located only a few miles north of Hilo, less than a five-minute drive to downtown for shopping, restaurants, entertainment, doctors, essentials and more.  It is also near Honoli’i, Hilo’s most popular surfing spot, and from the house a beautiful backroad walk or run through rainforest and waterfalls.
