196 Redwood Street, Blenheim, Marlborough 7201

The mother property of Witherlea, sits tucked away on 1559m of prime real estate.
'Elm Haven' was the original property on the block, built by Mr Milton in the late 1930s, with bricks from the Redwood Street Brick Kiln nearby. The home was in the centre of an apricot orchard and ironically is the only section on the block, without an apricot tree of its own! However, a huge Elm tree sits at the entrance to the property, providing much needed shade over the summer months.
Extensive alterations in the 1970s created a sprawling 200sqm home, with master, new kitchen and dining area looking out onto the inground swimming pool. Three attic style bedrooms sit upstairs, with beautiful lead light windows halfway up the staircase. A humongous stained glass window in the main bathroom adds further character to this beautiful estate.
Two living areas and undercover parking for two vehicles creates further opportunity for potential renovations, sitting under the same roof line. Recently new roofing and insulation has been applied over the western portion of the home.
This grand ole' lady has been a rental for the past 20 years and has huge promise for adding value and refurbishment. The section also has potential for subdivision in this highly sort after Witherlea area.
Due to personal circumstances, my out of town vendors have instructed me to sell this beautiful home. Property ID: #BL9649
