Positioned in the heart of Taupo's sought-after Botanical Gardens neighbourhood, this elevated and tastefully modernised 1960s residence delivers timeless character, contemporary comfort, and exceptional flexibility for today's lifestyle.
Set on a gated 896sqm (more or less) freehold section, the home delivers approximately 198sqm (more or less) of renovated living, offering the comfort and polish of modern design while embracing the warmth and practicality needed for a variety of living needs - from relaxed family living and holiday escapes to intergenerational living or income via Airbnb. Spanning two main levels, the layout includes four bedrooms, three living areas, and two bathrooms, offering a harmonious blend of shared and private spaces.
At its heart is a bespoke kitchen by Amuri Kitchens - sleek, functional, and perfectly paired with multiple light-filled living areas and generous indoor-outdoor flow across several decks - ideal for entertaining or simply enjoying the Taupo sun. The kitchen is beautifully integrated with a light-filled dining space featuring a built-in window seat and tranquil lake views. Two living areas extend from this central space, creating the perfect balance between everyday family living and entertaining. A versatile enclosed study adjoins the second lounge and provides access to the fully fenced backyard - a secure and inviting haven for children to play.
Accommodation is cleverly arranged to suit a range of living situations. The master bedroom and a second bedroom are positioned with a central bathroom between them, while a third bedroom - located just off the second lounge - enjoys separate external access, making it a great option for teenagers or guests. Downstairs, a self-contained area offers a fourth bedroom, a third living area, and a second bathroom with laundry - creating the perfect space for extended family, guests, potential Airbnb hosting, or long-term guests.
An inviting alfresco area sets the scene for long summer evenings and relaxed weekend gatherings - the perfect spot to dine under the stars, entertain with ease, or simply unwind with family. Framed by easy-care landscaping, this outdoor haven beautifully extends the home's comfort and charm into the outdoors. Blending the charm of its original 1960s character with stylish updates throughout, the home is warm, welcoming, and well-equipped for modern life. A central wood burner and quality insulation adds cosy warmth in the cooler months. Practicality is well catered for with extensive storage, easy-care grounds, a single garage, carport, and additional space for a boat or camper to complete the package.
Zoned for popular Waipahihi School, this home is ideal for growing families who value quality education and proximity to local amenities. Whether you're seeking a permanent residence, an Airbnb-ready investment, or a lakeside holiday base, this is a property that captures the essence of relaxed Taupo living - versatile, welcoming, and positioned to make the most of its spectacular surroundings.
Opportunities this clear-cut don't come along often - this is a black and white decision.
