31 Raupo Crescent, Wharewaka, Taupo, Waikato

Bespoke features in this beautiful, high-spec ex-show home highlight why this exceptional property is in a class of its own. Located in the popular Nga Roto development with easy access to the airport and bypass also upsizes the desirability of this immaculate home.

Creating a fantastic indoor/outdoor flow, expansive stacker doors open out to a wonderful entertaining space from the north-facing living area. Raked ceilings lend the home an airy spaciousness, and a large picture window in the beautifully open-planned kitchen brings the outdoors inside.

Taking centre stage in the kitchen is a huge island bench inviting family and friends to gather round to enjoy the results of the chef's culinary prowess. Additional highly desirable features are an integrated dishwasher and a wine fridge in the island bench, and a good-sized wet scullery with one of the latest must-haves, an instant hot water tap.

One of the two living areas is a media room which is accessed by a sliding barn door. This could also be utilised as a fourth bedroom if required. Clever design has created two wings for the bedrooms, providing privacy for the master. It's hard to imagine a more luxurious ensuite with a plus-sized, fully tiled double shower; quite simply sublime.

A ducted heat pump provides extremely effective heating/cooling options throughout, and a large gas fire in the main living area is a stylish focal point. Off the garage is a separate laundry, and a functional office provides options for those who work from home.

Being close to the lake, the great lake walkway and the new shopping hub of Kokomea Village completes the perfect package. This stunning, sun-drenched property will appeal as a permanent family home, a holiday home or downsizing retirees. Anyone who wants to elevate their lifestyles to the next level in a home which is in a class of its own is invited to contact Sacha or Penny.
