Rarely does a home tick every box - but for families, school-zone seekers, and savvy investors, or those seeking an ideal holiday home, this one comes remarkably close.Set in the heart of Hilltop, one of Taupo's most coveted residential pockets, this four-bedroom, two-bathroom home on 1,734 sq m of freehold land has been shaped over time by people who genuinely cared. The result is a home that feels lived-in and loved - thoughtfully renovated, warm in character, and ready for the next family to make it their own.The upper level showcases the care invested: an open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space that flows to a generous entertainment deck with corridor views of Lake Taupo. The kitchen - with its island bench, walk-in pantry, and generous cabinetry - is the kind of space families actually gather in. Three double bedrooms and a well-appointed bathroom complete the upper floor, with two heat pumps and a Kent-style fire ensuring the home is cosy through every season.There is also another spacious living area downstairs, with its own garden patio access, together with a fourth bedroom and second bathroom creating the perfect retreat for teenagers, guests, or extended family. Outside, mature trees, established gardens, stone terracing, and a large entertaining deck offer real space to breathe, play, and relax.For families, the Hilltop school zone and tight-knit community are second to none. For investors, the location, size, and dual-level layout speak for themselves.Hilltop properties at this level sell fast.
