190 Redwood Street, Witherlea, Blenheim, Marlborough

Set quietly in one of the area’s most sought-after neighbourhoods, this is a home that feels lived in and loved, with space to breathe and room for everyone. Built over three levels in a clever split-level design, the stairs are gentle and manageable, making daily life surprisingly easy for a house of this size.

The home offers five bedrooms and two bathrooms, with a layout that works well for large or extended families. Two bedrooms, a lounge area and a bathroom sit on the lower level, ideal for teenagers, guests, or family members wanting a bit of separation. The middle level holds three more bedrooms and a second bathroom, so there’s a practical and comfortable flow for busy households. The master bedroom enjoys a lovely outlook and its own small balcony – a quiet spot to step outside in the morning or wind down at the end of the day.

Up top, the living spaces open out to a north-facing wraparound verandah that feels almost tucked into the trees. From here, you’re elevated enough that the greenery feels close, as though you’re sitting among it rather than looking at it. Birdsong carries through the house and the views are calming and expansive without feeling exposed. There’s a real sense of serenity here – the kind that makes you slow down without trying. Oh, and there is another living area, the kitchen, the dining room and a handy wee office space up here too.

Outside, the section has been thoughtfully planted with a mix of established fruit trees and native plantings, creating privacy and a natural backdrop. The backyard is sheltered and peaceful, while the front of the home offers a lawned area that’s perfect for sitting in the sun with a book. It’s also just a short walk to nearby reserve and park access, making it easy to step out into nature whenever you feel like it.

Comfort is well covered year-round with a log fire and a centrally ducted heat pump system keeping the home warm and dry. There is separate garaging, and while the house is very comfortable as it stands, there’s also clear scope to add value over time.

Above all, this is simply a fantastic place to live – a home with soul, flexibility and a special setting that’s becoming harder and harder to find.
