9 Kakenga Road, Stoke, Nelson

Surprises start with the views!

It could be love at first sight when you get an eyeful of the Tasman Bay vista from the private patio and decks here at Kakenga Road. Who even knew this elevated cul-de-sac location existed? For families and couples, many appealing features will hit home with a look at this solidly built three-bedroom home on a fully fenced 690sqm section. There's lawn for play, double-glazing for cosy living, surprising privacy - and a basement room that will have you tossing up a dozen good ideas for how to use it. Many in Nelson won't even know about this location. You're nestled into a cul-de-sac enclave above the Ridgeway, high enough for sun and that awesome vista. And you're not crowded in by neighbours. The patio and deck provide relaxed living with plenty of room for an outdoor lounge suite. You can watch the children play on the front, flat lawn of this secure section - with even more space for games in the back yard. Gardeners have areas to grow their vegetables. From the open plan living room, a floor level picture window frames the bay views from the dining table and there's a seamless connection with the outdoors, through the double French doors. It's a layout made for easy entertaining. While the outdoor living is instantly attractive, younger family members will be eyeing up the downstairs multi-use room - if mum or dad don't get in first. This downstairs room offers so many uses and further development potential as a rumpus, hobby or games room or another bedroom. With a total floor area of 216sqm, this is a home to suit a small family or couples who want room to move. A contemporary kitchen will please the cooks in the family, with is Caesarstone benchtops and soft-close drawers. Other important home updates include the double glazing and there's additional winter cosiness from the approved log fire, two heat pumps and a wall heater. The location is pleasing, close to Stoke shops and schools and with The Ridgeway connection for a simple commute to the city.
