Rare as Hen’s Teeth

Just two blocks from the lake, discover this fabulous late mid-century 3-4 bedroom home on 926m2 (more or less) of potentially subdividable land (subject to consent) in the highly-coveted Bird Area.

Functional, angular, and championing hallmark floral carpet, exposed beams, and amber textured glass, this 1970s home is a true ode to its era. Featuring brick and a gullwing roofline, the home enjoys a semi open plan kitchen, living, and dining area opening to a covered patio. A hallway leads to a large single garage, 3-4 bedrooms, laundry, and cleverly divided bathroom, shower room, and powder room.

At the rear, a second outdoor living area is set amidst a large, level lawn framed by mature trees, perfect for recreating the halcyon days of New Zealand family backyards, or to potentially benefit from future development.

Whether you choose to love this retro gem as-is OR unlock extra potential, you’re a hop, skip, jump to the lake, shops, and town; within the Hilltop School Zone; and in the heart of the sought-after Bird Area. As they say in real estate, location, location, location…

We have worked with a number of agents in the past when selling houses but signing on Abbie and Julie for our most recent sale was the very best decision - they are so friendly, professional, prompt and helpful, we have decided 'big is not always the best' when it comes to real estate companies, Abbie and Julie have proved that. They are both so thoughtful and considerate of your needs while working so very hard to achieve the very best results for you. They treat your property as their own, ensuring it is left as they found it upon leaving after an open home.

We have had another fantastic experience with Abbie and Julie from Real Estate Taupo. This is the second time we’ve sold a house with them and once again they were an absolute pleasure to deal with. They are professional, approachable, and kept us well informed throughout the process. Nothing felt like too much trouble and their friendly, positive attitude made everything feel easy and straightforward. We’re so grateful for their hard work and wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again. We highly recommend Abbie and Julie to anyone looking to buy or sell in Taupō.

Marty Gabolisuy and Dani Ellis

"Abbie was a very warm, professional and hardworking agent. In our circumstance she handled all the contractors needed to prepare the house for sale and kept us well informed of potential buyers. I would recommend her and I feel got more personal service than from a perhaps a bigger franchise."

Cara Nowell

I had a great experience working with Abbie and Julie as my real estate agents. They were attentive, responsive, and went above and beyond in selling my home. Their professionalism, expertise, and guidance throughout the entire process made it stress-free and enjoyable. Their marketing strategy was top-notch, resulting in a successful sale. Thank you both for your hard work and dedication!

Paul Rose

"Abbie sold our house without any hassle and was awesome to deal with! Abbie is a total professional with clear concise communications and kept us in the loop at all times. We have brought and sold a few houses over the years and can sincerely say that she has been the best we have dealt with, can highly recommend. :)"

Melissa and Warren Johnson

"From the first contact I was blown away with Abbie and how caring, supportive and informative she was. I had quite a few questions which were answered quickly and quietly. The communication was superb with the exact right balance so I was not overwhelmed. The paperwork was explained thoroughly and simply. Open homes were a breeze. I did my due diligence then disappeared leaving the rest to the expert. The sale and completion of was amazing. I was thrilled. The professionalism, efficiency, communication and thorough knowledge of her business was amazing. This was the best real estate experience I have had (and I have had a few). Thank you Abbie you are the best."

Julie Osborne

"Abbie made this entire process so easy, she is very professional and empathetic at the same time. We chose Abbie because she stood out from other agents, she was willing to go the extra mile, not sit behind email. She does her homework and uses her broad local knowledge to find potential buyers with realistic offers. She took the time to meet face to face and kept me updated. We couldn’t be happier with her efficiency, communication and ability to find the right buyers at the right price. Absolutely recommend Abbie to everyone."

I found Taupo realestate excellent to work with they gave me all the right advice on how to sell my property, and there marketing strategy was on point,regarding the appraisal,they were the only realestate company that could give me the true transparent comparison of the property's in my suburb.they put a plus &minus dollar value on my property and the other property's that have sold in the suburb in the last 2 months,eg: property A has no double glazing but has a garage,my house has double glazing and a garage,and is fully insulated,they then give me what house A, sold for,and what my house will potentially get from the comparison of the 2 home in question,this is why I gave Taupo realestate 10/10 for being so transparent,and so easy to work with,They sold my house after the second open home ,I will be using Abbie and Julie in the future with my other property's,as well as any investment property's that I'll be looking at in the near future,Thanks heaps for making the process so stress free. Kind regards, Tony Reynolds.😊
