20 Mapara Road, Acacia Bay, Taupo

First class family home

Elevated to exploit stunning outlooks on the sunny slopes overlooking Acacia Bay comes a home combining that special blend of relaxed livability and income potential.

This established home embraces family living with three double bedrooms, two of which share a full bathroom and a master suite benefiting from a private full bathroom and walk-in robe. Guests' needs are met with tidily separated, upstairs quarters encompassing double bedroom, third bathroom and private lounge with kitchenette and balcony boasting restful lake outlooks.

Foodies will love the chef's kitchen with scullery and the easy interaction with guests over the island/bar with picture windows carrying the eye outside to sensational water views. Multi-purpose entertaining areas offer solutions for casual and formal hosting with unimpeded flow to expansive patios. Tilt the overhead louvres to take the sting out of the afternoon sun and then relax with a red in front of the alfresco fire as evening sets in.

Exteriors comprise strong designer forms softened by rustic Cedar weatherboard accents with expansive (double-glazed) windows oriented to maximise outlooks and sun uptake. There is plenty of parking and storage with internal entry double garage and space to the side for the boat or camper.

A sensational arrangement for larger family living with room for the in-laws or carry on with the B&B for income.
