38 Wai Terrace, Wharewaka, Taupo, Waikato

This isn’t just another modern build - it’s one that gets the balance right. A home that feels intentional, effortless, and far from ordinary.

From the moment you pull up, the cedar and charcoal façade sets the tone - striking, warm and confident. Inside, the sense of flow is immediate. The open-plan living space is where the home comes alive with sunlight streaming through full-height sliders, a feature kitchen that anchors the room, and easy movement out to the lawn for those long Taupo evenings.

The kitchen itself deserves its own moment: refined dark cabinetry, a long entertainer’s island, quality appliances and lighting that knows how to set the mood. It’s the kind of space that turns weekday dinners into something that feels a little special.

Three bedrooms offer comfort and calm, each with great light and built-in storage. The master suite is private and calming with its own walk-in robe and tiled ensuite. The family bathroom is generous, with a deep tub made for end-of-day unwinds, and a separate WC keeps life simple when the house is full.

Outdoors, the fully fenced 588 sqm section is ready for summer living, with room for the kids, the dogs, or that deck extension you’ve been planning. A double garage with internal access and off-street parking completes the picture.

Located in sought-after Wharewaka, you’re just minutes from the lake-front, the boat ramp at Rainbow Point and lakeside cafés where weekends feel like holidays. Families will appreciate the easy access to schools including Taupo Intermediate and Taupo High School, while professionals benefit from a short drive to the CBD and the bypass via the State Highway network for commuting across the region.

This is the kind of home you’ll walk into and instantly see yourself in - not because it shouts, but because it fits.
