Move-in ready and full of surprises

Positioned in one of Taupo's most popular suburbs, this immaculately presented home offers a lifestyle of comfort, practicality and convenience. Just a few hundred metres away you'll find the local hub of shops - including takeaway, bottle store, hair salon, dairy and the ever popular Lucky Lizard Bar - while the shores of Lake Taupo are within easy walking distance. Families will also value being in-zone for Waipahihi School, one of the area's most desirable primary schools in Taupo.
Built in the 1980's and set on an elevated 724sqm (more or less) freehold section, the home immediately impresses with its tidy presentation and thoughtful layout. At the centre is a spacious open plan living area where the kitchen, dining and lounge connect seamlessly. The lounge is warm and welcoming with a wood burner on wetback, while an HRV system and ducted gas heating ensure year round comfort. On the northern side, natural light floods in and a stacking sliding door extends the living space to a sunny, elevated deck - the perfect spot for entertaining or simply relaxing while overlooking landscaped gardens and catching a peek of Lake Taupo.
Accommodation is well planned with three bedrooms, including a generous master suite complete with ensuite bathroom and private access to a secure outdoor area with spa pool - an inviting retreat at the end of the day. The family bathroom is equally well appointed, offering both a bath and shower, plus a separate laundry sits conveniently by the foyer.
Outside, the easy care section provides established landscaping, private corners and space for kids or pets to play. A free standing single garage adds secure parking and extra storage. This home has been lovingly maintained and is presented to a high standard both inside and out.
