This stunning 2533m² home is an example of modern living. Designed to make the most of its prime location, this two-storey home offers expansive views of Lake Taupō and the surrounding hills, creating a living experience that is both grand and intimately connected to its natural surroundings.
A Grand Welcome
From the moment you approach, the home’s exterior sets the tone for what lies within. The clever use of materials, combining sleek modern finishes with natural elements, creates a striking first impression. A grand entrance beckons, hinting at the luxurious spaces that await.
Living with a View
The upper level is where the home truly shines. An open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area forms the heart of the home, designed to maximise the breathtaking vistas. Timber ceilings paired with wooden flooring create a warm, welcoming atmosphere, while the modern colour palette of black, bronze, white, and timber adds a sophisticated touch.
One of the standout features is the clever pillarless-corner slider that opens out to a northern deck. This ingenious design element blurs the line between indoor and outdoor living, allowing the spectacular lake and hill views to become an integral part of the living space.
Culinary Delight
The handsome kitchen is a focal point of the open-plan area. Shaker-style black cabinetry provides a striking contrast against bronze penny tiles, creating a space that is both functional and visually stunning. High-end appliances and ample workspace make this kitchen a dream for both everyday cooking and entertaining.
Outdoor Entertaining
The upper deck serves as an extension of the living space, offering a relaxing area perfect for al fresco dining or simply soaking in the views. An integrated barbeque and sink, surrounded by black cabinetry that seamlessly blends with the exterior cladding, make outdoor entertaining a breeze.
Private Retreats
Four bedrooms provide ample private space for family and guests. The main bedroom suite is a particular highlight, offering a level of luxury that rivals high-end hotels. The oversized L-shaped ensuite is a spa-like retreat, fully tiled in black with bronze-toned tapware.
A twin vanity, his-and-hers rainhead showers, and a black freestanding bath create a moody, sensual, and relaxing atmosphere.
Thoughtful Details
Throughout the home, sophisticated use of vertical wooden features and elegant lighting enhance the modern aesthetic. The attention to detail is evident in every corner, from the carefully chosen fixtures to the harmonious flow between spaces.
Energy Efficiency and Comfort
While the views and design take centre stage, the home doesn’t compromise on practicality. Energy-efficient features and quality insulation ensure year-round comfort, while smart home technology allows for effortless control of lighting, heating, and security systems.
Elevated Elegance in Taupō
This Taupō residence effortlessly adapts to all seasons, from summer evenings on the deck to cosy winter nights by the fireplace. The design maximises natural light and ventilation, ensuring comfort throughout the year.
