7 Lakemere Way, Kinloch, Taupo, Waikato, 3377, New Zealand

Welcome home. With all the essentials for a Kinloch summer, this cheerful cottage will be your happy place. A timber deck with built-in seating is screened from the street, north facing, and a social setting for outdoor dining; the high stud garage will store all the toys, and the dog can come on holiday too as it will be secure in this fenced section. A warm timber interior in the living lends character to this convivial space.

Open plan living has raked ceilings overhead, a cosy woodburner and a heatpump air-conditioner. The modern kitchen has bi-folding windows opening to a servery on the deck, a standard pantry and a breakfast bar, all in excellent condition. The fourth bedroom or rumpus features a ranch slider to the garden and could easily be utilized as a second living or teenage retreat. The master with a walk-in robe and en-suite, also has a ranch slider to the deck.

Centrally located on an elevated street across from the Kinloch Domain, this contemporary Urbo home is packed with value. The local golf course is nearby, as is the Whangamata Reserve and lakefront. Christmas is coming – set yourself up for summer and act now.
