2 Botanical Heights Drive, Waipahihi, Taupo

Geothermal home ideal for hosting

Literally a dream home with everything on offer here. Great views, quality address, desirable construction, and the ability to generate a secondary income from Airbnb. When visiting 2 Botanical Heights Drive, the first thing you will notice, especially at this time of the year, is how warm this 256sqm (more or less) family home really is. Being fully double glazed and draped in sunshine throughout the day helps, but with the geothermal bore pumping hot water through the floor, the costs to wake up to a warm and healthy home are minimal.

Guests arriving at your main front door will be welcomed into a wide foyer entrance where access to the upper or lower levels of this home can be gained. Living on the upper level will be a breeze, as internal access from the double garage leads you to the main living spaces of this home. Cathedral ceilings in the open-plan lounge and dining areas express quality and style while the chef remains involved in the country-style kitchen with granite countertops. North facing views across Taupo add a wow factor to this living area, and on a nice summer's day, you can retreat to the deck with glass balustrades to soak up some sun.

The master bedroom, large wardrobe, and fully tiled ensuite, powder room, additional bedroom or office, separate laundry and huge linen cupboard complete this level. For families or future owners looking to host guests, the lower level boasts three generously sized bedrooms, another fully tiled bathroom, plus a large lounge with a kitchenette. External access to this ground floor can also be gained, making it an ideal scenario for guests through Airbnb, with the internal stairwell being lockable. Clearly a leader in this price range that should not be missed.
