288 Trafalgar Street, Nelson.
At the very end of a country-style lane; tucked into a bush setting with the Grampians as your extended backyard, wide city and sunset views to the front, easy walk to colleges and town; and the house itself; a gorgeous 1930's bungalow with period charm, beautifully updated for modern living.
Few properties have such glorious peace and quiet plus sheer quality of living - with separate bedroom areas for parents and children, open plan living with restful views at every turn and a choice of outdoor areas to enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime location.
Inside the space is so generous, with four bedrooms, living areas upstairs and down, two bathrooms and sunroom/office; 239mยฒ of living, all beautifully presented.
Just look at the features - bay windows, high panelled ceilings, large airy rooms flooded with sunlight, patina-rich rimu timbers and dazzling leadlight glazing.
The owners are regretfully moving on, having seen their family thrive here. In the last three years, the downstairs has been renovated in a no-expense-spared upgrade - structurally as well as decoratively - to create two bedrooms, a bathroom, a separate rumpus room and deck. Timber doors, architraves, skirting boards and windows have been crafted to match the upstairs.
The house is fully insulated, with heat pumps upstairs and down and a superbly efficient living room fire place to make the house a cosy winter hideaway. With electric water cylinders for each
level, there's hot water aplenty for a busy household.
With all the refurbishment - including a chef's kitchen - the owners have faithfully preserved the elements that help make this period house outstanding; original skirting boards, tongue-in-groove rimu floors, solid panelled timber doors and ceilings with panelled beams.
There's enough lawn for lounging or picnics, and spaces for barbecue dinners and pizza nights near the outdoor oven, all with elevated views to the city and Port Nelson.
