20 Coprosma Crescent, Waipahihi, Taupo

Lifestyle, locale and a little bit of lake

Superbly located to get that back to a natural vibe, this stunning 179sqm (more or less) single-level home could be the perfect spot if you're downsizing empty nesters, moving to town from the farm or from a larger home in town.

On a peaceful street in the welcoming Botanical Gardens neighbourhood where it's safe for the little ones to ride their bikes up to the park on the corner of the street, this generous 745sqm (more or less) property will also appeal to family buyers wanting secure and kid-friendly living.

If you're the kind of people who love to entertain all year round then this home makes that an easy undertaking with ample living areas leading outdoors to a range of alfresco areas. Whether you're enjoying a bottle of wine beneath the grapevine-draped pergola on the enclosed terrace or relaxing around the Weber on the covered patio with your crew, this home has the feel-good factor.

The formal living room has heat pump and pellet fire while banks of sliders provide summer ventilation. The spacious dining area flanks a sensational kitchen centered around an island with engineered stone counters. Incorporating a scullery, gas cooking and borrowed light from above bench windows, this designer space is a social hub for the family.

Accommodation is comfortable and warm with two bathrooms including a master with ensuite and walk in wardrobe. A separate office opening from the living area and a double internal access garage complete the home with a peek of the lake from the property's frontage.
