The Lewis family home at number 53 Norman Smith has been in the same family ownership since it was built in 1971, and the son of the original owner, Jim, has brought his family up here for 42 years. He is now heading to the South Island to enjoy his retirement after being actively involved as a teacher at Taupo nui a Tia College, and latterly in the business community.

This charming family home offers views of Mt Tauhara and CBD, with glimpses of the lake, Mt Ngauruhoe, and Mt Tongariro. Spacious easy living, and lots of comfort and convenience. With three spacious bedrooms and a well-appointed bathroom, this home is an ideal starter for families or those looking for extra space. The heart of the home is a cozy lounge with a nice log fire, where you can unwind after a long day.

Downstairs we have a special treat, Jim's mother Dorothy taught ballet lessons in her specially created studio throughout the 1970's, and the rumpus room still carries a wall mirror reflecting those times. Understandably there is huge potential to develop further accommodation for family or future income potential.

With a generous section of 827 sqm with fruit and citrus trees, and a building area of 210 sqm, there is plenty of room for outdoor activities and gardening, or maybe consider further additions to add value. Being so close to town this home would be an ideal choice for families and commuters alike. Walk to town or utilise the nearby river trails, there is so much opportunity here.

The home is seriously for sale, Jim is heading south so maybe the next part of history could be yours, don't miss out!
