OPEN HOME: Sun, 9 Aug 10:45am - 11:15am

Some homes are built to tick boxes. Others are built to be lived in, properly lived in, with muddy boots at the door, something always on the stove, and the kind of weekend that spills from inside to outside without you really noticing. Tucked into a quiet cul-de-sac in the ever-popular Witherlea, this solid build home is unquestionably the latter. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a separate double garage, and enough considered upgrades to show this home has been taken seriously.

Step inside and the layout does exactly what a good floor plan should. It gives everyone their own space while keeping the heart of the home connected. The kitchen and dining are combined in a way that feels natural rather than compromised, with a greenhouse window pulling light across the kitchen bench and making every morning feel a little more considered. The dining area opens through a ranch slider onto the front porch, and the living room is generous, separate, and anchored by both a heatpump and a fireplace. All three bedrooms are good doubles with built-in wardrobes. The master claims two double wardrobes, an ensuite and its own heatpump, and the third bedroom connects directly to the main bathroom through a jack and jill entry. That bathroom has been recently renovated and includes a bathtub, shower, vanity and separate toilet. The laundry runs an energy efficient hot water heat pump that keeps the power bills honest.

Outside, two driveways give the property a practical edge that larger families and weekend adventurers will immediately appreciate. One leads to the detached double garage, the other provides dedicated off-street parking for a caravan, boat or trailer. Around the back, a designated spa pool area flows over to a covered decking area, and both the spa pool and outdoor television are staying with the home, so the first weekend after settlement is already sorted. An open patio extends the entertaining footprint further, the yard is fully fenced, there is a chicken coop for the self-sufficient types, and room for children or pets to do what they do best.

This is a home with real substance, solidly built, intelligently laid out, and finished with the kind of extras that take years to accumulate. Witherlea remains one of Blenheim's most sought-after addresses for good reason, and homes like this one do not linger. Come and see it for yourself.
