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!”

reviews.

Abbie Treloar

Co-Director | Licensed Agent

From a strong real estate heritage, Abbie gets the job done with enthusiasm, professionalism, and superior local market and industry knowledge. Committing to always go the extra mile, Abbie strives to provide exceptional service throughout the selling journey, from seeking to understand the true nature of your home, goals, and requirements, to then implementing a strategic plan to deliver excellent results. With keen attention to detail, a mind for marketing outside the box, and a wealth of experience across complex sales, you can rely on Abbie to give a genuine, honest, and informed assessment at all stages of the selling process.

Julie Thomson

Licensed Salesperson

With 20+ years experience in selling Taupo, Julie is renowned and admired for her powerful work ethic and maintaining a high level of care for her clients, even well beyond the sale process. You can count on Julie to work relentlessly to achieve your property selling goals, while looking after your needs with around-the-clock warmth and compassion.

"Abbie and Julie went beyond the extra mile for us. Their communication and feedback was excellent, and they achieved a price beyond our expectations. We would happily recommend Abbie and Julie to any future vendor."

Mike and Linda Taylor

Group 165

"Thank you Abbie for all your work, you have been amazing to deal with and have done a fabulous job."

Karen Gallen

"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

"Throughout, Abbie was wonderfully professional, efficient, patient, calm, and a great communicator."

Christine Cheyne and Terry Kelly

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

"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

"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."

Mark and Ann Maree Fernandes

"The best agents I've ever had - and I've had them all!"

Cynthia Van Deventer

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.

Jonathon Tocker

"Abbie's professionalism and knowledge stood out to me as exceptional. Abbie went above and beyond and I have no hesitation in highly recommending her to anyone who is looking to buy or sell property in the Taupo area. Thank you Abbie for achieving the result I was hoping for. It has been a privilege having you look after me."
