54 Nelson Street, College Estate, Whanganui

Nelson Street nirvana

Behind the neat rock wall, amongst impeccably sculpted shrubbery, sits a beautiful property that would be just as 'at home' on the streets of Portland as in our own College Estate. This immaculately presented Craftsman bungalow wears her years gracefully, and seamless modern additions bring her squarely into the 21st Century.
Tapered porch columns, leaded and stained windows and plenty of warm timber wainscoting leave no doubt as to her heritage, while modern conveniences and neutral furnishings will make family life a breeze. The lower floor is dedicated to entertaining and spending time with the family, with two living areas, a sitting room, and a large, tiled conservatory which opens fully to the manicured backyard. The modern kitchen flows through to the dining area, and each area of the lower floor flows seamlessly through to the others via glass paned doors.
Up the majestic staircase with beautiful leadlight windows you will find three double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, and an enclosed balcony which doubles as an office or fourth bedroom. This balcony has two attic space storage areas, and lovely views to the wooded hillside in front with its iconic homes.
The family bathroom upstairs is fully-tiled, with a separate shower, corner bath, vanity, and toilet. There is a guest toilet downstairs, and a separate laundry. Outside there is a double carport and adjoining workshop with roller door, and a fully paved driveway and turnaround area.
If character is on your wish-list but you don't want to compromise on comfort, then this gorgeous example of the Arts and Crafts movement will make your heart sing. Call Kim or Duncan today for the chance to call this grand dame your home.
