83 Harvey Street, Waipahihi

Description

In a tightly held corner of Taupō, this home hits that rare sweet spot – proper family functionality, easy holiday vibes and a setting that makes everyday life feel just that bit more special. From the moment the electric gates open to reveal fully landscaped, sun-soaked grounds, you get the sense this one has been planned, not just “put together”.
Parking is a dream: exceptional off-street space for cars and visitors, a secure double garage, plus discreet sheds to swallow all the lake gear, bikes and sports kit that come with busy family life.
Downstairs is where everyone naturally gathers. A generous open-plan living area ties together a well-appointed kitchen, dining and lounge, all flowing out to a broad, patio. It’s the sort of outdoor space that just works – weekend barbecues, birthday parties, post-sport catch-ups or quiet morning coffees while the kids play.
On this level, a dedicated guest bedroom is tucked away nicely for privacy, with easy access to both garden and garaging – ideal for grandparents, teenagers or overnight visitors.

Head upstairs and the mood shifts to calm and flexible. Three bedrooms sit off a generous landing, which naturally lends itself to a homework zone or work-from-home space. One of the bedrooms is oversized and easily doubles as a second living or media room when you need everyone spread out – movie nights upstairs, adults’ conversation downstairs, no problem. The balcony-style conservatory pulls in lake views and light through the seasons, acting as a quiet spot to read, work or just catch your breath.

Day-to-day living is made deliberately easy. The section is established but low maintenance, storage is plentiful, and the layout works just as well for an active family as it does for holiday use or multi-generational living. Lakefront, schools, sport and town amenities are all within easy reach – you’re not spending your life in the car.
Homes with this mix of location, space and flexibility don’t sit around. If you’ve been waiting for “the one” the whole family can get excited about, this needs to be on your must-see list.
Step in, spread out and imagine your crew here – then move quickly.
