6 Fifeshire Crescent, Stepneyville, Nelson

Nelson's prized waterfront view

Yachts glide past your gaze from decks and picture windows in this extraordinary new home; sophisticated, private and warmly embracing, in a prized Nelson location. Like a work of art, layers of garden green, harbour, bay, mountains and sky, stretch before you.

Attention to detail and sheer quality of design and new master-craft build in this 360sqm home, will please the analytical self, but it's the century-old garden setting where generations have watched the ships come in, that will touch your emotions.

The grand living headline features are impressive with staggering views from everywhere; four bedrooms, with striking master suite, separate office (or fifth bedroom), exquisite living room, large media room, spacious chef's kitchen, three bathrooms with heated floors, ducted central heating and cooling, internal access triple garage (plus three off-street guest parks), security systems and intercom, and, for superb outdoor living, three decks of over 100sqm, gardens, patios and lawns.

The sheer space on two levels is one thing but you also have flexibility of self-contained floors. It's the allocation and orientation of rooms to soak up every degree of those sumptuous views that's most impressive. You can savour the west and north-facing spectacle from all bedrooms; each room opening to a wide, deep covered deck flowing to lawns and garden.

The living room across the full width of the house is a splendid grandstand for the enjoyment of ever-changing harbour and bay activity and to watch the sunset's astonishing colours. This is a room large enough that everyone can find a space for themselves, including a corner window seat to nestle into for a Sunday afternoon read.

The owners set out to create a home of luxury and supremely comfortable living while retaining as much as possible the original plantings on this 963sqm double-size section. A lilac wisteria remains to this day, a perfumed connection with the past.

For peace of mind, new build and enviable location, a must to view.
