44 Roberts Street, Taupo

Open the French doors on a spring morning and it all arrives at once: clipped hedges framing a formal garden, daffodils along the borders, and beyond the rooftops, Lake Taupō stretching towards the western hills. It's the kind of view you arrange the furniture around.

This home has been loved, and it shows. The garden is the first thing you notice. Low hedging, stone urns and a lawn are laid out like an outdoor room, then softened by roses, bulbs and cottage planting. It has been tended with real care over many years, and it gives the property a genuine sense of arrival from the street.

Inside, the lounge lifts under a raked, lined ceiling and gable glazing pulls light deep into the room. French doors open straight onto the deck and garden steps, so summer evenings move between inside and out without much thought. The main bedroom has the same outlook through a generous picture window. Lake first thing, lake last thing. The kitchen is made for people who actually cook. It has double wall ovens, a gas hob, stone-look benchtops and a breakfast bar finished in V-groove panelling. It flows through to a dining area with room for a family dining table. Behind it, a scullery with stainless benches, a second sink and its own dishwasher keeps the mess out of sight when guests arrive.

Out the back, a sheltered deck catches the sun and gives you a quieter spot for coffee, away from the street. Above the double garage, the loft is a genuine bonus. It has exposed white trusses, a sink and its own external entry, which makes it an easy fit for a home office, a studio or a teenager's retreat. Cupboards along both sides give you serious storage. There is also a single carport for convenient storage.

The home is presented with care throughout and ready to move straight into. It's in the Hilltop School zone, and the Taupō CBD, local shops and the lakefront are all a short trip away.
