Good Bones with Further Potential

Discover a blend of charm and potential in this delightful 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom, single garage home, nestled on a 705sqm freehold section in Richmond Heights. This property is a versatile blank canvas, ideal for first home buyers, families, retirees, holidaymakers, downsizers, and investors with a bit of vision.

Attractive from the roadside, the home features three well-proportioned bedrooms, a bathroom with separate toilet, a functional kitchen, a dedicated dining area, a spacious lounge with a cosy wood burner, and a separate laundry. Perfectly liveable as-is, some easy cosmetic improvements could enhance the interior décor and increase the home’s value.

The low-maintenance fully fenced grounds with ample space for caravans and/or boats also appear to hold the possibility of subdivision (subject to consent) – an ideal longer-term ‘pot of gold’? The location offers Waipahihi Primary School & Kindergarten, parks, the Two Mile Bay boat ramp, the Two Mile Bay Sailing Club, and the lake all within comfortable walking distance.

It’s rare to find a home that is appealing as-is yet brimming with further potential for both the short and long term. Our vendor has purchased elsewhere, so come along and see what it’s worth to you!

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.😊

"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

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

Karen Gallen

"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

"We cannot recommend Abbie and Julie highly enough.  From the moment we listed our home, we felt completely supported and confident in their expertise. We elected to market our property by the 4-week Deadline Date method. This process made sense to us. As it transpired, the excellent marketing found our buyers in the first week and by the 10 the day of “going live” we had several multi offers presented to us. All offers were very competitive but one stood out above the others and by the end of that day we were SOLD, feeling confident that the best outcome had been achieved. We really loved the fact that Abbie and Julie are one unique team handling all the buyers. It felt so much less complicated than other arrangements. While both Abbie and Julie were fantastic to work with, we want to particularly acknowledge Abbie as she was the “lead salesperson” on our property.  She is in a league of her own.  Her communication is flawless and she has an incredible ability to make you feel at ease throughout the entire process. We trusted her 100% from start to finish, knowing that she would handle our buyers with the utmost care and skill. Abbie is more than a cut above anyone else we have dealt with in the Real Estate industry — she (and/or Julie) in our opinion are the best and only choice in Taupo when it comes to marketing your property. If you want someone who is professional, highly skilled, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about achieving the best outcome, Abbie (and her amazing team) are unparalleled. Thank you, Abbie and Julie, for making the sale of our home such a smooth, positive, and even enjoyable experience."

Abbie was fantastic at selling my house during the nov, dec period. She kept in constant contact, was adptable to changing the selling method to keep viewing numbers up, she kept my informed and reassured the whole way through. She is also just a lovley human who has your genuine interests at heart and wants the best for your realestate journey. Teamed with Julie Thompson the sale of my house was seamless and professional.

Ashley Cedar

"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."
