Hilltop Cutie with a View

Atop a gently elevated section on sought-after Rimu Street and in the Hilltop School Zone, this welcoming 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom home (with separate WC) boasts delightful 1960s character (albeit in need of a polish) and surprising lake and mountain views.

True to its swinging decade of construction, this residence is crafted from materials we covet today: timber weatherboards clad the home and wooden floorboards await exposure (currently under carpet). Funky floor to ceiling windows and a wood burner in the lounge serve as fabulous character features, while this cosy abode also benefits from a heat pump and decent insulation.

In addition to the good bones of the era, this inviting property further offers a basic single external-access garage and paved parking space for 3+ cars, boats or caravans, plus a private and spacious, sun-drenched rear deck set among mature fruit trees.

Ideal for those moving up (or onto) the property ladder, holiday-makers, downsizers, families, folks seeking to profit from shining up a gem, or indeed an investor wanting affordable stock “…but only in the good areas!”

I truly believe it doesn’t get any better than Abbie and Julie. As a mid twenties female I have struggled with other agencies with not feeling heard, or understanding the lingo and processes. Right from my initial inquiry Abbie was quick and thorough with her communication, everything was explained to me in words I could understand, and I left my first meeting well informed, with all my questions answered and I felt confident in the process. Every step of the way from there on out the communication was regular and thorough, the photos turned out amazing, the advertising was top tier, all of my open homes were busy and the detailed feedback reports after each open home were super helpful. The final sale process was smooth and throughout the entire process nothing was too much for them. It was very clear to me throughout the process that Abbie and Julie do this because they totally love it, all communication goes directly through them, there’s no personal assistants or office ladies, the whole experience is personal. I can not recommend Abbie and Julie enough, there is something very special about the way they work, Buying or selling they’re definitely the ones you want on your team!

Sarah-Jean Campbell

"Barry and I were truly impressed with Real Estate Taupo's outstanding service and professionalism throughout the entire sale process. Abbie's approach and knowledge was impeccable and I would be writing this recommendation even if the property had not sold."

Jacqui and Barry Goold

"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

"In all of our real estate endeavours, we have never had a more thorough and professional involvement than we have had with Abbie and Julie. They sold our house almost immediately upon listing and talked us through every critical stage of the process. We referred a colleague to them and their home was sold with similar results. We would highly recommend Real Estate Taupo to anyone looking to buy or sell a property in the Taupo region. Signed by two very happy customers."

Darryl and Fiona Hart

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.😊

Mike and Linda Taylor

"Abbie and Julie of Real Estate Taupo were professional and knowledgeable, and their presentation and enthusiasm was exceptional throughout the selling process of our home. We were continually updated on progress, and we have no hesitation in recommending them. Certainly the best real estate experience we have ever had."

Graham and Helen Scanlen

Abbie and Julie made my house selling process so easy. Their honest advice and friendly persona gave comfort during such a big decision-making process. As a first-time seller, they were always happy to answer questions, no matter how big or small; and were always prompt in response. After having already relocated for work, Abbie and Julie looked after my home and belongings, giving reassurance that all was well. They even did a little bit of gardening! They are very professional, yet it felt like you were working alongside friends. For anyone looking to sell, or even buy – go with Abbie and Julie. They are fantastic and produce a great result. Thank you.
