111 Waimea Road, Nelson, Nelson

Ideal First Property Purchase

This little gem was built when houses were designed to last. Its polished Rimu floors and panelled doors are still as attractive as the day they were first installed.

This cosy 78 square metre unit is close to the hospital, primary and prep schools and the Nelson Colleges. The 245 square metre property is within walking or cycling distance of the city, or a few minutes by car. It is attached by one common wall to an adjoining unit and has its own private carpark.

Built in the 1940s, the exterior construction combines low maintenance brick exterior walls with a tiled roof. It comprises an open-plan living room, dining area and kitchen, a double bedroom, bathroom and laundry. Internal timber includes beautiful native Rimu.

The interior has been renovated over recent years. This includes fittings and appliances in the kitchen, bathroom fittings and removing a wall to convert two rooms into a spacious open-plan living room and dining area. A central ceiling fan in the living room helps distribute warmth from a wall-mounted heat pump to the dining area, kitchen, hallway and bedroom.

Calm driftwood tones have been used on walls throughout most of the interior. The bedroom is fitted with neutral carpet and there are polished Rimu floorboards throughout the remainder of the house.

A charming little plywood board and batten studio or garden shed with French doors is located at the rear of the property. It is bordered by a paved courtyard and a lawn with a raised boxed garden. The outlook extends up to the bush-clad Grampian hills.

Ideal as a first home or an addition to your investment portfolio.
