This substantial home is located in the sought after suburb of Waipahihi, in close proximity to the Waipahihi Botanical Reserve. Set well back from the road, and amongst mature and established grounds, the property offers real peace and privacy, coupled with expansive views across the town to the lake and mountains beyond, as a result of its elevated position.\n\nThe home is a very well maintained two storey dwelling, built in the 1960's of stucco and cedar cladding. It has been progressively modernised over time, and is presented in a fashion that will please the discerning purchaser. A modern galley style kitchen overviews a casual and open plan living and dining family area. The downstairs also features a separate and formal dining room and substantial living area, plus a study. Both living areas access the decked and covered outdoor living areas creating a very pleasant indoor/outdoor flow. Three good sized bedrooms, and two bathrooms (one an ensuite), with a guest bedroom and bathroom downstairs, and the master and second bedroom upstairs offer a number of different living styles and options.\nOccupying 1518 square metres (in excess of one third of an acre), the section is substantial, and the mature plantings create a real atmosphere of retreat, but the elevation and views create a real feeling of light and space, which is a rare combination! A double garage plus additional boat garage is a further asset. The home is also zoned for Waipahihi School, which is well regarded.\n\nThis is a very well located property, a well constructed home of good design and proportions, on a sizeable land holding for a town house, which is versatile, and will delight those seeking a feeling of solidity, tranquillity, and everything that is sought after in a Taupo township residence!\n\nClick here to a video of the property\n\nClick here to view the facebook page\n
