Discover one of Marlborough’s most captivating character villas, perfectly positioned across the road from Pollard Park, the tennis courts and the Marlborough Golf Club. This exceptional three-bedroom home is elegant with modern comfort, that is luxurious and effortlessly convenient.
There is a refined first impression as you enter through quality wrought-iron gates into a manicured, private front garden. The striking front door is framed by two charming Cape Cod chairs and an adjoining deck, an inviting spot for coffee in the morning, relaxed entertaining, or summer barbeques. Hedging and a superior front fence provide privacy and enhance the street appeal.
Inside, a wide hallway delivers instant impact with its high stud, ornate wood detailing and a beautiful historic skylight that floods the space with natural light. At the rear of the home, a practical mudroom - complete with built-in seating—leads through to a separate utility laundry room. Another door steps down to the internal access garage and adjoining workshop and garden shed with wood storage.
The heart of this home is the expansive open-plan living, dining and kitchen area. Here, the high stud, dado and picture rails continue and generously positioned windows combine to create a sense of grandeur and brightness. An additional, more intimate living space provides flexibility for reading or relaxing.
The master bedroom is a sanctuary, (with French doors that open out to the orchard), a luxurious tiled ensuite and a cleverly walled-off walk-in wardrobe with drawers, shelving and hanging space - beautifully designed for ease and elegance. A second bathroom features both a shower and a bath, complemented by a third toilet and another fabulous skylight.
The modern kitchen is superbly configured with a dish-drawer, walk-in pantry and excellent cabinetry. Additional storage is plentiful throughout the house, with multiple cupboards in the hallway, laundry and garage.
The third bedroom exudes character with its ornate fireplace and adjoining sunroom. Heating and comfort are well catered for with multiple options, including heat pumps, a log fire and a DVS system to keep this home fresh and dry.
Throughout the property, thoughtfully selected light fittings, premium carpets and stylish floor coverings elevate the overall aesthetic. Complementing its beauty, the home also boasts gas hot water, a recently updated roof, well-maintained weatherboards and quality insulation - so important for peace of mind.
Set on a freehold title in one of Blenheim’s most enviable locations, this villa is truly the complete package - rich in character, impeccable in presentation and the most fabulous location. Present owners are relocating and will sell their beautiful home.
