46 | For luxury seeking downsizers Jo was first attracted to this Monro Street site on the corner of Lee Street because of its proximity to the picturesque Taylor River Reserve. Jo Anderson DEVELOPMENT T T Kelly Deeks Jo Anderson is applying decades of high end residential construction experience to a new project in a premium inner circle location in Blenheim, where she is developing two beautiful architecturally inspired houses for downsizers with a taste for luxury living. Jo has been involved in the building industry since 1986, with her husband’s firm Ken Anderson Building building high end, award-winning, architecturally designed homes across the Marlborough region for decades. “Marlborough has always had a need for that,” Jo says. “What I’m building now is for people who have lived in really nice homes and now want to downsize. “We’ve got a convenient location, high quality fixtures and fittings, light and open living spaces, and wonderful indoor outdoor flow through to private decks, courtyards, and professionally landscaped gardens.” Jo was first attracted to this Monro Street site on the corner of Lee Street because of its close proximity to the picturesque Taylor River Reserve. A popular location for walkers, cyclists, and even kayakers, the reserve can be accessed from Monro Street and viewed from the upper levels of both of these new homes. “Having the reserve and the river right there is an absolute bonus for retired people,” Jo says. “You can have a dog on these properties and just go out the door and on to the reserve to walk your dog. “There are walking groups and biking groups that meet up on Monro Street for a walk or a bike ride. It’s a really vibrant community and a lovely place to live.” The location is also central to services and amenities, a mere kilometre to the central city and within walking distance of the supermarket. “We’ve got a convenient location, high quality fixtures and fittings, light and open living spaces, and wonderful indoor outdoor flow through to private decks, courtyards, and professionally landscaped gardens.” Jo prides herself on attention to detail and says her experience of the high end residential market has shown her where to direct her spending on this development. Each of the two homes has its own unique floor plan, meticulously crafted to provide a distinctive living experience. 38a has a separate media room, a master bedroom suite and two more bedrooms upstairs, as well as an elevator for effortless mobility and accessibility. 38b has its master bedroom suite conveniently located on the ground floor, with two more bedrooms and another bathroom upstairs. All bathrooms have tiled showers and the ensuites have heated tiled floors to ensure greater comfort. Jo believes no bathroom is complete without a bath so each ensuite has a tasteful stand alone bath to complete the luxury. Both homes have their kitchens at their heart, with walk-in pantries. They boast stainless steel and engineered stone bench tops, and are well appointed with Bosch appliances. In the living areas, feature staircases are finished with glass balustrades for a touch of modern sophistication. An abundance of natural light fills every room, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout each home. Both homes enjoy seamless indoor-outdoor flow. “In 38b, you open the stacker slider from the lounge to the outdoor decking area and it’s a really lovely private space. 38a has a different feel. The stacker slider opens from the dining room and it opens up the whole space, providing a connection from the dining table to the outdoors.” Both homes offer the convenience of double garaging, with ample space for vehicles and storage. Charging an electric vehicle is also accommodated. Strategically placed motion sensor lighting internally, externally, and in the garage ensures safety and security for every midnight bathroom visit or late night out. Due for completion late January, this project has been a labour of love for Jo and she has enjoyed every minute.
