Elegant, luxurious and timeless, this spacious Wharewaka home relaxes lakeside – and so do its owners. Situated on one of the most desirable streets in Taupo, the northfacing site offers stunning views and all-day sun. The design also incorporates plenty of shelter for year-round comfort. 

The generous 440sqm floor-plan features three bedrooms, three bathrooms and two living spaces, including a open-plan zone with indoor-outdoor flow.

A window seat in the nook beyond the kitchen – with elevated views across the lake – will prove a very difficult position to relinquish in the winter months. 

Although you would never know at first glance, the home has been designed with wheelchair access in mind. 

Beautiful tiles, custom cabinetry and a fireplace add a touch of glamour and class to this solid and classic build. The lighting is an excellent example of how carefully chosen fixtures can take a home to the next level. 

Clever details, such as bringing aspects of the external cladding into the entrance hall, ensure this beauty stands out from the crowd.
