About 1174 Ainalako Rd

Welcome to the end of the road! With no thru traffic, this Ainalako Rd (long regarded as one of Hilo’s best kept secrets) home is nestled in a coveted corner of one of the most desirable parts of the planet. Come inside and you’ll be immediately charmed by views of the lush surroundings as experienced through a fixed wall of gridded windows (reclaimed and refinished to perfection) . The main home offers a warm, inviting space, where every corner is ready to give you a cozy welcome. The main dwelling offers two bedrooms, multiple sitting areas, and a central kitchen. Even though the home lives much larger than it is, guests will enjoy a delightful detached space with a private entrance and garden-facing lanai. It’s a perfect creative hideaway. Imagine sipping tea on the shaded pergola, surrounded by the sweet scent of blooming flowers, where time slows down and worries melt away. The property is a veritable garden of delight, with an abundance of fruit trees: lemons, oranges, mango, apple banana, papaya, and more, all growing alongside colorful flowers that bloom in symphony all year long. The fenced yard offers both privacy and piggy peace of mind, while the detached carport and enclosed garage provide ample space for your vehicles, storage, or hobbies. Whether you're gardening, relaxing, or hosting friends under the stars, this property is a charming blend of comfort and privacy, offering a little something for everyone. So, if downsizing is in your future, or you are looking for an affordable place to get started in town, take a look and see what decades of love and recent upgrades has to offer!
