Positioned in a highly convenient and well-regarded location, this substantial 1940s home offers space, flexibility and exceptional proximity to Nelson’s key amenities. Just moments from the hospital, close to popular schooling, and within easy walking distance to the CBD, cafés and local services, this is a location that will always be in demand.
Set on a generous 673sqm section with approximately 170sqm of floor area, this well-established home has evolved over time, with an upstairs extension added in the 1960s and thoughtful upgrades since — including a full rewire.
Step through the charming entrance porch, complete with leadlight detailing on the front door, into a welcoming and spacious foyer. The open-plan kitchen, dining and living area is filled with natural light and features beautiful wooden floors and a character archway between the living and dining spaces. The kitchen is well-equipped with a 5-hob gas cooktop, large oven and good-sized pantry, while a heat pump keeps this hub of the home comfortable year-round.
French doors open seamlessly to a covered deck overlooking established gardens — a private, sun-soaked setting designed for entertaining. With a covered outdoor cooking area (BBQ and sink), spa pool, and ample space to relax, this is an outdoor zone you will enjoy all-year-round.
A second generously proportioned lounge provides excellent separation for families, featuring high stud ceilings, two chandeliers, new carpet, a heat pump and a compliant wood burner. From here, enjoy elevated views out over the city. Flowing off this space is a versatile sunroom — currently used as a bedroom — which connects to a double bedroom with built-in wardrobe, making it ideal as a guest suite, work-from-home space or dressing room.
The ground floor is well serviced by a family bathroom with bath and shower, plus the convenience of a separate toilet. A large separate laundry offers excellent storage and direct outdoor access to the backyard and washing line.
Upstairs, 2 spacious bedrooms capture wonderful natural light and all-day sun. The master enjoys double wardrobes and a private outlook toward the hospital and surrounding hills, while the second bedroom offers built-in storage and access to substantial roof space storage. This upper level creates a versatile retreat, ideal for families needing extra space or separation.
Practicality continues outside with 2 single carports, a single garage, workshop and generous off-street parking for multiple vehicles.
Adding further appeal is the separate sleepout above the garage, and accessed via an internal ramp — perfect for teenagers, extended family or guests.
The established grounds feature four raised vegetable gardens and an array of fruit trees, including fig, apple and sweet black grapes, along with wisteria and Australian frangipani. A water tank collection system and mains-connected fire hose add further practicality.
Clad in stucco with weatherboard to the upper level, this is a substantial, character-filled home offering flexibility for growing families, extended living arrangements or buyers seeking space close to the city.
