95 Rokino Road, Hilltop, Taupō

Architecturally designed home with lake views

Set on a freehold 1,030sqm section (more or less), this is a home full of life, character and joy - a true haven for family living. Perfectly located in established Hilltop, it's just minutes from the Taupō CBD and lake edge for summer fun, with Hilltop School immediately across the road, making school mornings stress free.

From the street, the home captures attention with its architecturally designed rooflines, hinting at the unique floor plan within. Step inside the foyer, where leadlight windows create a welcoming first impression, with this theme leading through double doors into the main lounge. Here, sweeping views stretch across the spacious back yard to Lake Taupō, the Tongariro National Park mountains, and the night lights of Acacia Bay. The lounge is beautifully appointed in light tones, with a feature charcoal brick wall, freestanding wood burner and brass-accented hearth creating a cosy, stylish focal point.

Step up into the dining area, where the views continue to impress and access to decks allows for seamless indoor-outdoor living during warmer months. The kitchen, with its curved charcoal brick wall and changing ceiling heights, flows effortlessly to the extended outdoor living area and huge hardwood decks. These spaces are surrounded by private landscaped gardens, creating a safe and inviting environment for children to play. The backyard also features a dedicated Pétanque court beneath the shade of mature trees - perfect for summer afternoons with family and friends.

Accommodation is thoughtfully arranged. The downstairs bedroom opens directly to the garden, while the main level offers a guest bedroom, fully tiled bathroom and convenient laundry facilities. Upstairs, the master retreat features pitched ceilings, a private deck, breathtaking views and an adjoining nursery or office. The recently upgraded bathroom offers a tiled shower, earthy tones and practical vanity storage.

Constructed with concrete block walls and concrete tile roofing, this home is solid and built to last. Fully double glazed and with feature lighting throughout, it combines durability with style and comfort.

Outside, the spacious back yard provides ample room for children to play, explore and enjoy adventures with friends - while adults can relax in their private garden retreat.
