For the first time in 50 years, this much-loved Acacia Bay home is ready for a new family to call it their own.

Built in the 1970s and held by the same family ever since, 14 Silich Street is a home filled with memories, character and an outlook that helps explain why it has been so tightly held. From the kitchen, dining and living areas, beautiful views stretch across Lake Taupō and towards Mount Tauhara, creating an ever-changing backdrop to everyday life.

Generous in both space and possibility, the home offers five bedrooms, with three upstairs and two downstairs, along with two bathrooms and an expansive living area warmed by a wood burner. Its largely original 1970s style provides a wonderful opportunity to embrace the retro character or add your own touches and create something truly special.

Practicality is another standout, with impressive three-car internal garaging, an additional carport and a large garden shed providing exceptional space for vehicles, tools, toys and storage.

Set amongst established gardens in a quiet Acacia Bay cul-de-sac, there is a wonderful sense of space and privacy here, while still being within easy reach of the lake and everything Taupō has to offer.

After five decades of family life, celebrations and memories, the time has come for someone new to take the keys.

Bring your ideas, make it your own, and begin the next chapter at 14 Silich Street.
