Positioned on an elevated 709sqm (more or less) freehold section, this stunning home in sought after Richmond Heights, Taupo has been completely reimagined to deliver modern comfort and effortless style.
Originally built in the 1970's, the property has undergone extensive renovations, presenting an exceptional opportunity for those seeking a contemporary family residence or a perfect lock-and-leave holiday home.
As you arrive, the quality of the upgrades is immediately clear — a new roof, full double glazed aluminium joinery and smart landscaping. The front yard has been transformed into a secure, fully paved parking area, ideal for boats, caravans, camper vans or multiple vehicles. From the front door, you'll catch a glimpse of Mt Ruapehu before stepping inside to a bright, inviting interior where neutral tones and quality flooring create a fresh, modern atmosphere.
The home offers three spacious bedrooms, all beautifully finished with new hardware and window dressings. The master suite boasts a stylish ensuite bathroom and direct access through ranch sliders to the rear deck. The remaining bedrooms are serviced by a sleek family bathroom.
Designed with entertaining in mind, the modern kitchen features subway tiling, stainless appliances and a convenient servery window to the deck. The main lounge also flows outdoors and includes built-in cabinetry, while a wood burner and ducted heatpump provide year-round comfort. The ducted system allows for individual temperature control in each room and includes Wi-Fi functionality — so you can manage the climate remotely, ideal when heading home from work on those winter evenings.
A high-stud, carpeted single garage doubles as a lined and insulated multipurpose space — perfect as a games room, storage or even overflow accommodation.
Outdoors, the rear of the property delivers a private, fully fenced retreat with expansive decking and elevated views across Lake Taupō.
All this in a prime St James Street location, just minutes from local shops, reserves and a short stroll to the lakefront.
