Every now and then, a renovation comes along that completely redefines what is possible. This 1983 residence has been meticulously re-imagined into a contemporary four-bedroom home of exceptional style and quality, set on a substantial section with subdivision potential.
Positioned in sought-after Waipahihi, the property enjoys an elevated outlook with views across the lake to the Western Bays. Its location is both convenient and desirable being just a short walk to the lakefront, the botanical gardens, and to the new Kokomea shopping precinct.
Step through the impressive pivot door and ascend to the main level where light, space, and design come together. The open-plan kitchen and dining area offer beautiful views, while a spacious scullery makes entertaining easy. The adjoining lounge features a bespoke electric fireplace that warms the home with elegance and provides a natural focal point. Large stacking sliders open to a west-facing deck equipped with a retractable awning for year-round enjoyment.
The north-facing master suite is a peaceful retreat, offering a designer ensuite and walk-in wardrobe. Two additional double bedrooms are positioned separately, serviced by a beautifully tiled family bathroom. A lift provides easy access between levels, enhancing the home’s practicality.
Downstairs, a self-contained flat offers flexibility for extended family, guests, or additional income. This area includes a spacious open-plan bedroom with kitchenette, tiled en-suite, storage, and sliding doors opening to the garden.
Practical elements are equally well considered: a carpeted double garage with an EV charger, a large purpose-built laundry, ample off-street parking for boats or motor homes, ducted heating throughout, and a solar power system for efficiency.
A total transformation in every sense, this home combines contemporary luxury with thoughtful functionality in one of Taupo’s most popular neighbourhoods.
