40 Halaulani Pl, Hilo, HI 96720 listing details

The home at 040 Halaulani Place offers the elegance of a world past. When Hilo Town was home to sugar plantations, this home was built in 1927 with solid materials by craftsmen. The gracious, high, 10 foot ceilings let light flood in and capture the green Hilo surroundings. The stream behind the home provides a green scape and ultimate privacy for the back yard. This home is currently on the Historic Register. In 1949 Robert W. Carlsmith using Val Osipoff as the architect, did a major renovation to the home. Then in 2002 the current owners restored it again. Consequently it is in excell...ent condition today. The first floor holds a large living room with fireplace, study with original cabinets and shelves, dining room, kitchen and Master Suite that includes a nursery or sitting room. Up the wide stairs there is a second living room and four more bedrooms and another room used by the current owner as his in-house office. The old growth, Douglas Fir wood floors were just refinished throughout the house. A covered carport, paved driveway and garage finish the grounds of the estate. Show more
