Fall in love with this absolute gem above the city.

Nestled quietly amongst the leafy hillside of Cleveland Terrace, this thoughtfully renovated home rises above Nelson like a modern chalet retreat. Surrounded by mature trees and immersed in birdsong, it offers a rare blend of design, privacy, and connection to nature, all within easy reach of the city and the Maitai River.

Recently refreshed with new paint, updated lighting, quality flooring, and a repainted roof, the home combines contemporary comfort with enduring character. Macrocarpa ceilings, timber detailing, dramatic raked ceilings, and extensive glazing create a warm aesthetic that feels both distinctive and timeless.

The upper level forms the heart of the home, where the kitchen, dining, and living spaces flow together beneath soaring ceilings that draw the eye upward and flood the interior with natural light. Large windows frame views across the Maitai Valley, Nelson City, and beyond, while French doors open onto sun-soaked outdoor living spaces that feel suspended amongst the treetops.
Beautifully designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the open-plan layout allows families to stay connected, study, or gather around the dining table. The elevated outlook, abundant sunlight, and ever-changing seasonal backdrop create a living environment that feels inspiring and restorative throughout the year.

Downstairs, three generous bedrooms provide flexibility for a small family, visiting guests, or a dedicated home office. Large windows, built-in storage, and leafy outlooks give each room a sense of privacy while maintaining the home's strong connection to the surrounding landscape.

A tiled bathroom on this level features a shower, vanity and toilet, cleverly doubling as a laundry space.

Adjacent to the home, a solid, steel-founded drive-on landing provides space for two vehicles directly from Cleveland Terrace, with extra space for recycling and rubbish utilities, this space is ideal for ease of access.

What makes this home truly special is its ability to balance design character with practical living. Every space has been carefully considered, creating a home that feels intimate yet spacious, distinctive yet highly functional.

Elevated above the city and surrounded by nature, this is a home for those who appreciate thoughtful design, natural beauty, and a lifestyle that offers both retreat and connection. Whether you're a professional couple seeking something extraordinary or a small family looking for a unique home, 129 Cleveland Terrace delivers an experience that is difficult to replicate.
