More than Meets the Eye

On a tranquil cul-de-sac in the sought-after Mapara neighbourhood just 10-minutes’ drive from town, sits this modernised and inviting home offering plenty – three double bedrooms, two bathrooms, a nursery/study, a separate rumpus room currently serving as a fourth bedroom, a spacious lounge, dining area, kitchen and even a new walk-in pantry, plus a sunny north-facing deck on some 4,005sqm (more or less) of land.

Highlights of this low-maintenance home include double glazing, new carpet, fresh interior paint, ceilings, and scotia. Functionality abounds with a wood burner, heat pump, and DVS system, and a separate laundry ripe for conversion into a bathroom for the rumpus room. Practicality continues outside – a paved carport at the backdoor, a double garage (with single-car door), and a large, gravelled area provides ample parking for cars, caravans and boats. If wanted, there’s also space for shed construction.

The property benefits from level lawn and easy-care gardens around the house, before expanding into approximately 3,000 sqm of undulating green space for kids, pets, or hens to enjoy.

Summer is approaching – time to enjoy this peaceful and private oasis near town, Whakaipo Bay and Acacia Bay’s boat ramp. See you at the Open Home.

Judy and Keith Pearsey

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

"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

"Abbie and the team at Real Estate Taupo were fantastic. Their knowledge of the market and advice on presenting our property is what got us the very best sale price. Always helpful and available, communication was outstanding. Would highly recommend 👌"

Jenni Allan

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."

Nicola Smith

"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

"Our experience with Julie at Real Estate Taupo was simply phenomenal. Julie went above and beyond in assisting us buying our perfect forever home, she is extremely knowledgeable and always so helpful and responsive. We have dealt with various real estate agents in the past, and can say with confidence that Julie Thompson stands out for her professionalism, competence, communication and transparency. It was an absolute pleasure to deal with Julie and Abbie!"

Lucia Fusco and Duncan Eastwood

"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

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.😊
