Description

Simply charming, this property oozes charm from every pore, from the traditional Lockwood design to the park-like grounds, a key to success - comfort and relaxed easy living for the family. Like many Lockwoods this home has lovely verandahs wrapped around the sunny side offering sun protection over the summer period and a retreat to sit under and enjoy the magnificent gardens and views. Or partake in breakfast or lunch in the conservatory whilst listening to the amazing birdsong one hears from this property - many different species of birds have been seen here. This is a substantial three bedroom home, offering many extras from a spa room, office, conservatory, plus any housewife's delight - a walk in pantry. And for the blokes an enormous workshop in the basement along with double garaging. A bonus of this property - is the second dwelling which is two storied, all living upstairs along with two bedrooms and bathroom. Whilst on the ground level you will find a large games/utility room. Currently used for floral art classes but could give someone the option for working from home. This second dwelling has been used for B&B but would be excellent for extended family. The owners hard work and talent in creating one of Taupo's most beautiful gardens goes without saying and are lovingly maintained. With gorgeous shrubs and trees this is a garden lovers paradise, also would be a wonderful adventure playground for children. It is so peaceful here, you have the best of both worlds, the quiet of the countryside but only 8 minutes to town. Set amongst other high quality homes, it is with regret that the vendors time has come to move on - your family could be the lucky 2nd owner. Key Features - Magnificent landscaped gardens - Low maintenance - Amazing views, warm & protected from South West winds - Walking distance to local cafe - Peaceful setting and quiet location with native bird life - School bus at end of Blueridge Drive - Separate 2nd dwelling - teen retreat, granny flat or B&B - Huge workshop in basement
