20 Scott Street, Blenheim

Set privately in a quiet cul-de-sac on a well-established 3,000sqm (more or less) section, with a huge 200sqm (more or less) shed, this 360sqm (more or less) architecturally designed home enjoys views over mature gardens to the Richmond Range and access via a scenic reserve to the Wither Hills Farm Park, convenient for cycling and walking.

Built to be their forever home, the original owners spared no expense during construction and the current owners have taken the same approach during extensive renovations. In the last two years, lighting has been upgraded to LED, bathrooms have been refurbished, including installation of a lavish spa bath, and the kitchen has had a complete makeover incorporating a super quiet extraction fan, induction cooktop, new appliances, a warming drawer and boiling water on tap.

Open to the kitchen, a spacious family room is complemented by a separate sitting room with a gas fire plus a sunny study, currently used as a sewing room. Sliding glass doors provide easy access to extensive decking, partly covered and ideal for enjoying outdoor living, the gardens and a view more akin to a home in the country. There are three generous bedrooms and two bathrooms on the same level, whilst downstairs a separate suite is ideal for extended family or paying guests.

A standout feature of this property is the enormous 200 plus square metre internally accessed garage or shed with 3 phase power and a 3.2m high roller door, which currently houses several boats, a substantial campervan, a couple of other vehicles, plenty of extra storage and a lavatory. Ducted heating and double-glazing ensure the home is comfortable throughout the year, while automated irrigation and a robot lawnmower help minimise maintenance outside.

The vendors have cherished this home for 22 years but now it's time for them to downscale; they have purchased a new home and are ready to move on. The property will appeal to active families, retiring farmers not ready to live too close to neighbours, tradespeople needing storage and workshop space, those needing room to house a collection of vehicles, or anyone looking for a home with income. It is an opportunity to enjoy a slice of the good life in New Zealand's sunniest region.
