81 McLauchlan Street, Springlands, Blenheim, Marlborough Ultimate contemporary design in Springlands

This often admired architecturally designed home offers more than first meets the eye and must be further investigated and viewed from the inside to be truly appreciated.

The unique dual-storey 290sqm floor plan is very practical yet totally sophisticated and will meet the needs of a wide range of prospective buyers.

Downstairs is a large open-plan kitchen/dining and a generous lounge with a breathtaking atrium ceiling. The entire area is ideal for entertaining. When designed, the theme of the home was to host family, extended family, and friends. The downstairs space offers a seamless flow to the private north-facing established outdoor spaces. The downstairs space has a master suite, powder room, and double garage.

As you wander up the staircase, the awe-inspiring landing, with built-in book shelving and a glass balustrade overlooking the atrium, branches out to three other bedrooms and two bathrooms.

Constructed well ahead of its time, the property benefits from the best available building technologies incorporated in its design, even for today’s standards. It is fully thermally insulated, including concrete foundations and thermal break aluminium joinery with argon-filled double glazing. Solar panels provide ample power to meet daily electricity needs and heat the water. A full-height feature block wall and exposed concrete floors act as passive heat regulators, and coupled with heat pump-run underfloor heating, they sustain the home at a constant temperature with power bills kept to an absolute minimum. Laser-cut acoustic ply ceilings soften the noise within the home to ensure a comfortable ambience throughout.

To complete the picture, the house is nestled on a private and sheltered 600sqm section with professionally landscaped gardens boasting established plantings, a pergola, a spa pool and patios, including a dedicated outdoor dining hub with a pizza oven. The home is secure to accommodate pets or children, with privacy fences surrounding the total property.
