Situated on one of Taupo’s quiet Avenues is this unique icon of earlier days, the heart and soul of yesteryear incorporating comfort and relaxation of today. The original two-bedroom cottage holds onto its character and quirky appeal. With its large deck offering unbelievable views to the lake, Acacia Bay and towards the central plateau. It’s a home that’s more than a place to live it has a new garage plus a self-contained studio space that offers countless possibilities - from a creative retreat or home office to a guest suite with its own bathroom to use as a BnB unit providing an opportunity for some added income.
Inside the cottage, you’ll find living areas that exude warmth and personality. The lounge is anchored by a statement brick fireplace, with sunlight filtering through wide windows that frame lush greenery outside. A sliding door opens seamlessly to the expansive deck - the perfect vantage point for morning coffee, evening sunsets, or weekend barbecues with friends.
The dining and kitchen spaces flow naturally together, with the kitchen’s checkerboard flooring, solid timber cabinetry and open shelving adding a playful retro touch that’s full of life and charm.
The two bedrooms in the main home are peaceful and inviting, with soft light, curtains that dance in the breeze, and garden or lake glimpses to wake up to, serviced by a primary bathroom.
Outside, nature takes the spotlight. The established grounds are framed by mature trees, flowering shrubs, and a sheltered courtyard perfect for afternoon relaxation. A large garage, extra storage, and off-street parking complete the picture of easy, independent living.
Set just minutes from Taupō town center, schools, and the lake-front, this home offers that rare balance of serenity and accessibility. Whether you’re chasing a permanent base, a family holiday home, or a short-term rental opportunity, this home delivers something truly special.
