23 Shelbourne Street, Nelson, Nelson

Inner city classic with sea views

Classical proportions, native Rimu and quality 1930's construction mean this two-level, 220 square metre home has already set itself above the rest. Supremely central, yet elevated, she affords views across Nelson City and beyond, as well as being a short stroll to the calming, leafy environs of Church Hill gardens. Downstairs includes a foyer, cloak room, storage cupboards, two bedrooms and a bathroom. In the late 1990's the architect-owner converted the upper level into offices, retaining its original rimu panelled walls, beamed ceilings, deep skirting boards and many lovely multi-paned doors and windows. Three north-facing rooms include the manager's office or formal living room and two offices or a sitting room and bedroom. There is a fourth office or bedroom, a reception area or dining room, a kitchen which could be extended and two filing rooms which could be replaced by a second bathroom and laundry. There is parking for five vehicles and it is fully alarmed.
