24 Raupo Crescent, Wharewaka, Taupo, Waikato

This high-spec family residence with tantalising views of the lake and Mount Tauhara is ready and waiting to enhance your lifestyle. Nestled on a flat, fenced section in a desirable new neighbourhood, the home's eminently workable floor plan will appeal to a fast-growing family, retiring downsizers and discerning couples who prioritize outstanding quality.

An object lesson in designer style, the home is defined by high raking ceilings, abundant picture window glazing and trendy light fixtures. With underfloor heating throughout, the core living areas incorporate a separate media lounge along with warm and sunny open plan lounge and dining areas. Ample space preserves family harmony, while relaxing outdoor zones merge the deck with manicured lawns for memorable summer parties. Lovely views are captured from a sleek minimalist kitchen with spacious scullery where tones of stone complement dazzling Fisher & Paykel appliances and a sociable island has a chrome and black mixer over butler sinks.

Three double bedrooms include a master with walk in wardrobe and a fully tiled ensuite with separate WC. Black tapware, vessel basins and shower fittings create an opulent aura - a look that is echoed in the main bathroom where a back-to-wall bathtub is additionally introduced. The powder room toilet is separate while a bespoke laundry centre is situated in the carpeted, internal access double garage, with off-street parking on a large cobblestone forecourt.

An easy 10-minute (approximate) commute to Taupo's town centre, with a supermarket and in-zone Waipahihi School close at hand. Raupo Reserve and play area is just a short walk down the road and, for fishing fans, it's a four-minute (approximate) tow to launch the boat at Three Mile Bay.
