Brick beauty in a private garden paradise

The time has come, at last, for this gorgeously private 1970's brick and tile, offered to the market for the first time since built.

Expected to be highly sought after by investors, first home buyers and young families needing space for the kids, this generous 840sqm (more or less) flat and lushly private parklike corner property offers a range of possibilities.

The authentic 1970's interior has been well-maintained with some old school features including timber floors still in place. An original kitchen with the typical floor to ceiling fitted cabinetry, narrow stainless-steel benchtop and groovy yellow laminate leads through to a big dining room with log burner.

The large sunny lounge has sliders opening out to a small deck stepping down into the utterly dazzling Cotswold-inspired gardens. These have been sympathetically planted out over the years and boast a range of exotic trees, rambling climbers, old roses, and landscaped underplanting. With four double bedrooms served by one updated bathroom - the scope exists to reconfigure the floor plan and expand to a more modern-day family home.

Drive on to an oversize standalone garage and ample off-street parking with tons of room for kids and pets to scamper. Incredibly handy to community amenities including Mountview School just across the road, Taupo Events Centre, AC Baths, Taupo Skatepark, Golf Course and a short drive into the centre of town, this is a golden opportunity.
