Almost 20 years ago, the current owners moved into town from a lifestyle property and chose 10 Hope Drive for a simple reason: they loved the space. Having come from a rural lifestyle, they wanted a home that didn't feel hemmed in.

That space has served them well over the years, but now they are ready for their next chapter and are moving into a retirement village.

Set on a generous section in popular Witherlea, this is a substantial home that gives families plenty of room to spread out and grow into. The kitchen, dining and main living area sit at the heart of the home, creating a practical space for family life, whether it's busy mornings getting everyone out the door or coming together at the end of the day.

There's also a second living area, giving you the flexibility to have a quieter space away from the main hub of the home. It's a layout that gives everyone a little more room to do their own thing, while still bringing the family together when it matters.

Outside, the grounds provide the sort of space that is increasingly hard to find. The north facing backyard is a real bonus, with plenty of room for the kids to play, space for the dog, and perhaps even room for a pool one day, as well as those all important vegetable gardens. The driveway adds to the practicality, with room for the cars, boat or campervan.

The home is comfortable as it stands, with a pellet fire and heat pump, but there is also plenty of opportunity for the next owner to make it their own. Move in, enjoy the space and gradually update the areas you want to, or take on some improvements from the outset. Either way, you have a solid home with plenty of scope to add your own touches over time.

And then there is the location.

You're in the Witherlea School zone, with the Wither Hills practically on your doorstep for walking, running and mountain biking. The hospital is only moments away, while the rest of Blenheim is within easy reach.

This is a home that gives you options. It's not about buying a perfectly finished home. It's about securing a well sized family property with the space, section and location already in place, then making the changes that work for you over time.

Give us a call. We'd love to show you through.
