115 MAILE LAU LII Pl Hilo, HI 96720

Don’t be fooled by the numbers! This partially remodeled 4/2.5 Crescent Heights house has so much more going for it than the 1,972 sf of permitted living space implies. For starters, this house has 4,009 sf of permitted space under roof. Although the 384 sf of floor area of the upper level loft was never included in the living space, it was a part of the 1992 fully permitted addition pushing the permitted space to 4,393 sf. The only permit records not located are for the 253 sf ground level lanai extension to the earlier 253 sf lanai.<br><br>The original lower level of the home is pretty much what you would expect: 3 bedrooms and 1 bath with a central, skylight-lit kitchen, large covered walk-out lanai and water feature. The real surprise is the three level addition which includes: on level one - a 3 car garage, storage, laundry and a half bath; on level 2 - a large kitchenette, hobby room, full bath, and another large covered lanai with Hilo (airport), ocean and forest views; and on level three is the loft with Hilo, ocean, forest, and mountain views. Take your pick for which of the additional rooms the County Real Property Tax Office is considering the fourth bedroom. In reality, there are five permitted spaces which provide countless possibilities. These possibilities provide generous guest quarters; an altogether separate living space; or the opportunity to house your extended family under one roof.<br><br>Worried about the electrical bills on a house this size? Don’t be. This home has a 26 panel, fully owned, photovoltaic system with a net-metering agreement in place. <br><br>The convenience and comfort of large family living continues beyond the living quarters. Not only is the side yard gate large enough to accommodate truck, RV, or boat parking, it has tropical landscaping, including citrus and year round greenery all tucked away in the back of a quiet neighborhood.
