301 Scott Street, Witherlea, Marlborough, Marlborough

This classic 1960s two-storey brick home stands proudly elevated to capture sweeping views that stretch right down to Blenheim’s CBD and back to the Wither Hills and Richmond Ranges. Distinguished by its striped awnings and elegant concrete balcony with wrought iron railings, this home carries the unmistakable character of its era while having been carefully maintained and modernised over time.

The home is set gracefully toward the back of its generous 950sqm section, reached via a short-walled sweeping driveway that gives it a stately, almost majestic presence from the street. Below, the double basement garage - each door fitted with its own automatic opener - reflects the passion of its long-time owner, a true car enthusiast. The basement also offers a wealth of space, including an expansive workshop area, excellent storage and a separate office, ideal for hobbies, tinkering, or working from home.

Inside, the wide entranceway, typical of this era, creates a sense of welcome and space that continues throughout the home. The living room has large picture windows and sliding doors that flood the area with natural light and open directly onto the sunny balcony.

There is a dedicated dining area and a modern, well-equipped kitchen which looks out to the back garden. The contemporary layout includes ample cabinetry and quality chattels; the fridge is here too, if required.

The home’s practical features have been recently updated for modern comfort. The separate laundry now offers excellent storage space thanks to the brand-new mains-pressure hot water cylinder, which has been conveniently relocated to the basement. The newly installed bathroom is fresh and contemporary - sparkling and ready for the home’s next family to enjoy.

All three bedrooms are generously sized, each featuring fitted wardrobes and large windows that make the most of the home’s elevated aspect.

Outdoors, a paved area at the rear of the home is a private and sheltered space for entertaining, while the surrounding gardens offer scope to enhance or enjoy as is.

Lovingly owned and cherished for 42 years, this home stands as a testament to pride of ownership and the warmth of a bygone era - ready now to welcome its next chapter.
