Buying in Mount Street doesn't have to mean stretching the budget. If you've been looking for a home close to Nelson City with character, sunshine and room to make it your own, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

Privately tucked away from the road, this welcoming 1970s home has a warm, relaxed feel from the moment you arrive. The open-plan kitchen and dining area features a high stud and beautiful native timber floors, while the separate lounge, complete with a compliant fire and double glazing, opens to a sunny deck surrounded by established gardens and birdsong.

There are three bedrooms, plus a separate bonus room beneath the house with its own entrance — perfect for working from home, teenagers, hobbies or creative pursuits.

Outside, there's plenty of space to grow vegetables, potter in the garden or simply enjoy the peace and privacy. It's the kind of property where you can slow down and escape the bustle, yet still be just minutes from Nelson CBD, the Colleges and Nelson Hospital.

Lovingly owned for more than 20 years, the property has been a dependable home, with no EQC claims, no known land movement, no flooding and no known impact from Nelson weather events during the current owner's ownership.

Homes like this are becoming increasingly hard to find at this price point. If you're prepared to look beyond the driveway, you'll discover a home full of warmth, character and potential.
