More than Meets the Eye

Quick! This charming 3-bedroom home with a sleepout is tucked away and won’t stay secret for long…

Our vendors have purchased elsewhere and urgently require an unconditional sale!

In the heart of Hilltop, just a short stroll to Hilltop Primary, the Mole & Chicken, and the lake, sits a delightful home that hides its magic well. Step beyond the gate—and get ready to fall for a property that blends charm with clever functionality.

On the delightful side: there’s a fabulous north-facing deck with a peek of the lake; a sunny skylight in the modern kitchen; a luxurious clawfoot bathtub in the spacious bathroom; and a welcoming wood burner, perfectly paired with a convenient heat pump and ventilation system.

On the practical side: the home is double glazed throughout; boasts a sleepout with its own consented bathroom and coffee nook; low maintenance grounds with minimal lawns to mow; and a highly desirable address that’s as convenient as it is investment-savvy.

Perfect for families, holiday makers, active couples/singles, downsizers—or anyone wanting a smart buy in a standout spot.

Asking Price $969,000

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.

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.😊

"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

"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

"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

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

Wonderful stress free experience selling our home with Abbie. We can't recommend Abbie highly enough. She was very friendly yet professional throughout and her calm demeanour helped us through the whole process. Hardworking and knowlegable of the market. Both Abbie and Julie worked well together, they communicated regularly with us, which was very reassuring. And best of all, our home sold in record time, we were thrilled. Already recommending Abbie to our friends.

Lynn and Bob

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

"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."
