16 Matipo Street

Affordable Slice of Country in Town

What if you could enjoy a relaxed country lifestyle without giving up the convenience of town? That’s exactly what 16 Matipo Street delivers, with mature grounds just over the classic quarter acre (some 1,027sqm), plus an attractive four-bedroom home, all within easy walking distance of town, schools, and sports facilities.

On quiet, centrally and conveniently located Matipo Street, the property offers rare country charm complete with a greenhouse and veggie garden, along with ample space to capitalise on the relaxed new granny flat rules or potential to subdivide (subject to consent).

The home itself is brimming with character thanks to the attractive timber weatherboard cladding, matai flooring, two sunny decks, french doors, charming decorative ceilings, and a cosy wood burner. Modern benefits include a contemporary bathroom and kitchen, partial double glazing, a heat pump and four well proportioned bedrooms. A single garage, carport, and shed complete this slice of quintessential Kiwi life.

Whether you’re searching for a family home, an affordable first home with great character inside and out, a holiday base, or a smart investment, 16 Matipo Street is well worth a look.

"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

Group 165

"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."

Sue Murray

"Downsizing and shifting to a new area when you are a "senior" is a very daunting prospect. When you have an agent like Abbie and Julie who are just so knowledgeable and helpful, it makes the whole process just that much easier and enjoyable. I would recommend Abbie and Julie to anyone who requires a "nothing is too much trouble" approach and just good old fashioned service."

Martin Wallis

"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

Excellent, professional, friendly, knowledgeable, hardworking in every area in selling our home. Selling our home felt like a daunting process but Abbie's professional approach, her knowledge of the real estate market along with her friendly personality leading us through the process made the selling of our home easy. Abbie & Julie helped us prepare our home for sale by giving us advice on how to present our home along with their professional marketing plan was fantastic. They kept us informed & gave us great feedback after all open homes & private viewings. Abbie was available to answer any of our questions and responded promptly to any buyer enquiries. We would highly recommend Abbie & Julie to anyone wanting to sell their homes as are they are excellent in all areas of selling a property. They went the extra mile which we really appreciated.

Lynda and Kevin

Real Estate Taupo is a caring local real estate company that went the extra mile in selling my property recently. Abbie and Julie are excellent communicators and I felt reassured with them throughout the process. Even through an unpredictable market, we were lucky enough to enter a multi offer situation with a favourable result. 10/10 for Team Real Estate Taupo- efficient, professional and local.

Sarah Davidson

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 would, and indeed have, fully recommend both Abbie and Julie to anyone selling property - their honesty of the market, communication, knowledge and feedback is simply the best.

Elaine and Glenn Tocker

"Julie developed a unique marketing strategy that show cased the best features of our Property. Julie's communication was outstanding, providing prompt updates from each showing. Julie's professionalism combined with a personalized and honest approach, resulted in a swift and pleasing Sale. We highly recommend Julie for her exceptional service. Julie we sincerely thank you. Judy & Keith"

Judy and Keith Pearsey

"We cannot recommend Abbie and Julie highly enough.  From the moment we listed our home, we felt completely supported and confident in their expertise. We elected to market our property by the 4-week Deadline Date method. This process made sense to us. As it transpired, the excellent marketing found our buyers in the first week and by the 10 the day of “going live” we had several multi offers presented to us. All offers were very competitive but one stood out above the others and by the end of that day we were SOLD, feeling confident that the best outcome had been achieved. We really loved the fact that Abbie and Julie are one unique team handling all the buyers. It felt so much less complicated than other arrangements. While both Abbie and Julie were fantastic to work with, we want to particularly acknowledge Abbie as she was the “lead salesperson” on our property.  She is in a league of her own.  Her communication is flawless and she has an incredible ability to make you feel at ease throughout the entire process. We trusted her 100% from start to finish, knowing that she would handle our buyers with the utmost care and skill. Abbie is more than a cut above anyone else we have dealt with in the Real Estate industry — she (and/or Julie) in our opinion are the best and only choice in Taupo when it comes to marketing your property. If you want someone who is professional, highly skilled, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about achieving the best outcome, Abbie (and her amazing team) are unparalleled. Thank you, Abbie and Julie, for making the sale of our home such a smooth, positive, and even enjoyable experience."

Mark and Mel Barnett

"Real Estate Taupo recently sold our home for us. Abbie and Julie truly went above and beyond in getting our house sold in record time - they really are the complete package. They even spoke to our neighbours to let them know what was happening, and were able to organise people at short notice to help tidy up the section. We were always kept up to date as things developed, and we always felt we could trust and rely on them to be straight up and realistic. I could not recommend them more highly, it was by far the most stress free home sale process."
