25 Elliott Street, The Wood, Nelson

Do-me-up character, walk to town!

Finding homes with obvious and easy renovation potential close to the city is difficult, but here's a gem in Elliott Street, fast becoming one of the most sought-after walk-to-town locations. This is a 1920s special with high ceilings and lots of native timbers, already opened-up for airy living but ready for its next stage of transformation. From the moment you walk in, you'll love the sunny, open interior full of century-old charms of wooden floors and solid internal rimu doors. Spread out in the space of large rooms with nine-foot (2.7m) high ceilings. Three bedrooms are roomy doubles and there's a fourth single bedroom or study; great spaces for family living. Light pours in through generous windows to the kitchen-dining room with views to the eastern hills and a large lounge beckons for comfortable evenings at home. The house is already well insulated in walls and ceilings. It's a house that screams 'do me up' yet is perfectly liveable as is. This appealing home sits on its own established 387m² section with driveway down to a single garage and a backyard that's compact enough to enjoy without being a maintenance chore. French doors open at the back to a timber deck overlooking the garden. There's so much opportunity to further develop the house and outdoor areas. If you want to think about your next move here, you can move in and enjoy as is. The rimu kitchen is perfectly serviceable and so is the bathroom and separate laundry, although you'll reap the rewards of any investment. It's a house that can be readily morphed into a chic, up-to-date inner-city home complete with early 20th century charms of picket fence and weatherboard exterior.
