Why do we long to live by the sea? Why does it stir and quicken the pulse, bending time and the "best-laid-plans" to her will? Is it her sparkle and salty scent, is it her myriad moods and romance? Everything from speechless beauty, to gasping tragedy, to unimaginable power laps at our feet when we live by the sea, any sea. Which is why 435 Rocks Road on Nelson's waterfront will stir all the above. But there's an impishness about this one. Warm and sheltered she's tucked into her quiet, sunny, north-facing pocket with Haulashore Island and The Cut centre front. Built single-storey with 50's strength and workmanship she's now a 3 double bedroom + study modern beauty with indoor-outdoor flow to a BBQ terrace and enticing inground concrete pool. Access the waterfront in 30 seconds with the city just around the corner. Separate double garage and boat or campervan park makes 435 Rocks Rd the perfect step-up or downsize depending on where you are on life's continuum.
