35 Puriri Street, Hilltop, Taupō

Winning location in Hilltop

Packed with character and secluded from the street, this unique and versatile two level home combines stellar alfresco entertaining, private and peaceful surrounds with large living areas. Definitely room for the family to spread out and relax.

All set for summer, a large rear facing deck complete with shade sail receives a good dollop of daily sunshine and provides a relaxing venue for your first BBQ of the sunny season. Why not crack open the wine cellar and partner a well-breathed beaujolais with freshly caught trout from the lake? If your kids are the rowdy type they'll love a gently sloping 1,037m2 (more or less) section with room over for raised beds for those garden-to-plate fresh summer salads.

The main level of the home comprises primary open plan living areas, three double bedrooms, master with en-suite, main family bathroom while an office lets you harass the debtors in peace and quiet. Head downstairs you find a large utility room that could variously serve as a rumpus / games room, home gym or art-studio. With the separate lower level toilet you could also install bunks to house the rellies from Auckland who'll surely turn up uninvited for New Year.

Extensive storage space is another great feature of this home with double garaging and a huge basement that suggests possibilities for further extensions. Freshly painted and sporting a brand new roof, this beautiful and well-designed home presents to the market in prime condition.
