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!”

Please note this property is not a polished product – improvements have been left to allow you to make it your own

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.

Thank you Abbie for achieving the result I was hoping for. It has been a privilege having you look after me."

Nicola Smith

"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

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.😊
