33 Fifeshire Crescent, Stepneyville, Nelson

Intimate harbour views, prime location

Nestled in to hillside greenery in one of Nelson's finest harbor front locations, you'll savour intimate views of yachts heading out through 'The Cut' from this charming home, full of 1940s character but delightfully modernized.

The house is aglow with polished rimu floors; just add rugs to enhance the 'beachy' feel of living so close to the waterfront, a stroll to restaurants or a swim off Wakefield Quay. Open the house to the front decks, with the summer shade of a pohutakawa tree and the sound of tui.

Fifeshire Crescent is one of Nelson's prime addresses and number 33 is quietly located up a drive from the street, a gentle retreat in a section full of ferns and other natives to make every homecoming a treat.

With three bedrooms, plus a study or forth bedroom, including a master with ensuite and its own private balcony, the 137sqm home is just the right size for a couple or small family with two lounge areas, including a cosy snug with a gas fire. A second bedroom has access to a delightful garden patio.

The whole house is beautifully presented, with tiled, open-plan living with high ceilings adjoining timber decks to make the most of glorious summer evenings. You'll love sharing those magical view sweeping from beach to lighthouse, across Tasman Bay and with the inner harbor in the foreground.

From the lounge, a huge picture window frames the sea views, the comings and goings of vessels and the snow-capped mountains in winter. Light streams in from the many windows and a large skylight.

Living is easy and ready now for your summer entertaining. Handsome timber benchtops and joinery complement the kitchen's rimu floors and by sliding open the large windows, cooks can keep up with conversation on the patio.

Although the section is a full quarter acre (1,077sqm), it's easily manageable. The front, sealed forecourt at the top of the drive has generous parking space, including for a boat or motor home.
