Homes that sit beside the water carry a certain calm about them. The view shifts with the light, the days unfold a little more gently, and there is a quiet sense of space that is hard to replicate elsewhere. Mornings begin with soft light filtering across the backyard and the gentle presence of the river beyond, while evenings invite you to pause, breathe, and simply enjoy where you are. Tucked into a relaxed pocket of Blenheim, this two storey home offers space, warmth and a setting that feels both peaceful and full of possibility.
Inside, the home has been designed with everyday family living in mind. The open plan kitchen and dining area creates a natural gathering point, while the separate living room offers a comfortable space to unwind, complete with a fireplace and heat pump for year round comfort. The main bedroom sits conveniently on the ground floor and includes a double wardrobe, alongside the main bathroom, a separate toilet and a separate laundry. Upstairs, three further bedrooms each feature built-in wardrobes, creating a practical layout that works well for growing families, guests or those wanting a little extra space. Recent renovations have refreshed the interior, including internal paintwork, new carpet downstairs and on the stairs around two years ago, vinyl flooring, and the addition of a dishwasher to the kitchen around three years ago.
Step outside and the home truly begins to shine. The backyard opens out to the beautiful Ōpaoa River, creating a setting that feels both private and wonderfully scenic. It is easy to imagine grabbing the kayak for a gentle float along the river or simply enjoying the ever changing outlook from the expansive decking area. This sun soaked space is perfect for morning coffee, relaxed summer evenings with a glass of wine, or entertaining friends and family. The property is fully fenced and offers excellent practicality with a single carport and generous off street parking at the front, while tucked around the corner is a large single garage with an additional woodshed storage area. The garden is also home to a flourishing avocado tree, along with fig and feijoa trees that promise seasonal abundance.
Whether you are a busy family looking for space to grow, a first home buyer wanting to add value over time, or an investor searching for a property with strong appeal, this home offers a lifestyle that feels easy and welcoming. With the river at your back door and the essentials of everyday living already in place, it is a property that invites you to settle in and make it your own.
