41 Huia Street, Taupo, Taupo

Lofty elegance on the reserve

On a desirable street that's within sight and walking distance of the lakeside, this architecturally elegant triple gabled residence borders the open green space of Mere Road Reserve. Defined by robust block walls harmonising with linea board cladding, the handsome dwelling evokes an alpine retreat vibe. Life will run smoothly within this versatile 200sqm (more or less) floor plan, well configured for separation of slumber zones for those with multi-generational households.

Honed concrete block contrasts with a neutral toned wall palette throughout with the glow of rich honey hued timber floors reflecting abundant natural light that floods the interior. Banks of double-glazed windows maximise the north facing aspect while bifolds stack well back to flow the party outdoors to sheltered alfresco patio. Amply proportioned open plan living and dining areas benefit from lofty chapel ceilings creating an airy spaciousness while the gas fire adds to the cosy atmosphere. The centrally positioned kitchen fitted with modern appliances, is well equipped for entertaining. The master bedroom with ensuite and walk in wardrobe is on the lower floor, along with a bathroom to service the generous office and second bedroom which could be easily adapted as a seperate lounge. On the upper floor above the garage, two more double bedrooms - one with a balcony and elevated views, share a third bathroom.

With off street parking on a low maintenance flat section, proximity to the lake, schools and the town centre make this the idyllic option for active social folk who savour urban convenience. Furthermore, living like this is all about keeping weekends free for skiing, fishing and biking in this outstanding leisure and lifestyle region.
