19 Gibbs Place Taupo, Waikato New Zealand

A fabulous find in one of Kinloch's famous cul-de-sacs: A prime location that offers easy access to the walkways that connect Kinloch and lead to the lakefront, while the position in this quiet street ensures a peaceful and safe environment. The colonial-style architecture of the home is beautifully complemented by the pretty garden and features gable windows and rooftop finials. Step through the covered front entry to discover more.

A high ceiling and overhead windows provide ample light and space in the living area, where two French doors lead to a private deck. This is a sheltered outdoor area shielded from the street. The wood-burner with copper flue has a character brick fire surround and is connected to a wetback for power saving and heat transfer to the bedrooms. The kitchen workspace boasts an exquisite timber bench-top, a durable stainless bench, and ample cupboard space behind glass cabinetry. The cook has a great environment with a window overlooking the garden.

Two heat-pump air conditioners have recently been installed - one in the dining and the other in the master. Storage is a feature with double linen cupboards in the hall and attic storage overhead. The section has a separate double garage with an auto door and a gated rear garden - perfect for extra parking or children.
