This well-presented 1960's weatherboard home balances timeless appeal with easy, practical living. A solid choice for first home buyers, investors, or those seeking a relaxed Taupo holiday home.

With its solid construction and simple layout, this single level 106sqm (more or less) family home features three comfortable bedrooms, open-plan living, and a functional updated kitchen with generous storage and bench space. A heat pump provides year-round comfort, while the modernised bathroom adds a fresh, everyday touch. Open-plan living connects to a sunny deck for weekend BBQs or relaxed afternoons outdoors, overlooking a tidy, fenced section that's easy to maintain and ideal for tenants, families, or holidaymakers. There's sealed, off-street parking for a vehicle and space for lake toys undercover, adding to the property's versatility.

Centrally located, this home enjoys excellent connectivity. The street runs from the lakefront right through to amenities such as the AC Baths & Events Centre, hockey turf, Owen Delany Park and Tauhara Golf Club. Parks, amenities and the town centre are all within easy walking distance. Schools of all levels are close-by, and the lake is only a short drive for swimming, boating, or fishing. Local cafes and shops close-by add to the convenience of everyday living.

Taupo continues to draw both local and out-of-town buyers with its relaxed pace, stunning natural scenery, and year-round outdoor lifestyle. From lake days and bike trails to ski trips and hot pools - it's easy to see why this region remains such a popular choice for permanent living, investment, or holiday homes.

Currently tenanted with long-standing occupants, the property provides a steady income stream and future potential in one of New Zealand's most desirable lake towns. With Taupo's continued popularity as both a lifestyle and visitor destination, there's also scope for short-term accommodation income when not being used by you, an ideal mix of flexibility and opportunity.
