About 137 Kuakolu Pl
Welcome to Kaumana Estates, where the air is cool, and yet you are only minutes from bayfront in Hilo. This home offers 4 bedrooms, open beam, spacious kitchen, a large rock wall in the front, and nice landscaping in the yard including a small Koi pond in back. <br>The previous owner had secured a lease for the 24 panel, 6.1KW PV system through Sunrun, and per the Rep. for the company, the lease is $206/mo. and the 20 year contract started in 2014. This will be transferred to the buyer in the course of the escrow.<br>It appears that at some point a while back, the original carport was enclosed to be a living room, and another carport was added in front without a permit. Buyer to confirm.<br>This is to be sold AS-IS. Short notice showing is OK.
