28 Russell Street, Stepneyville, Nelson

Character home, modern comforts

If you adore character homes - but modern comforts too - you'll be bowled over by this century-old villa in one of Nelson's most charming streets, within walking distance of town.
Russell Street is a Nelson treasure with its historic houses, seasonal cherry blossom and gentle ways, and No 28 is one of the prized gems - tucked off the street and with flat, private access. Close your eyes on the front veranda and imagine this new house in the early 1900s when there was farmland above and children scampered down to the end of the street to swim off the sea wall.
The surroundings have changed but the house is still as charming as ever with its lovely native timber floors and the airy feel that only those original high ceilings can give. Now, though, this lovely old dame has a contemporary kitchen and bathroom, excellent heating and insulation and a huge deck at the back to make the most of summer evenings.
With three very large bedrooms and a delightful living room opening to the deck, this is a home to appeal to couples or small families wanting to be close to the city. The house feels larger than its 120m² floor plan and the 627m² section is big enough for garden and relaxing without demanding too much of your spare time.
The location in Russell Street is excellent; on the flat with your own car access and generous off-street parking. There's a good coffee at the end of the street, plus local dairy, and, for children, a local park. The house presents in very good condition, with smart decor and the benefit of double-glazing at the back. Internal art-deco style glass doors are a wonderful addition. Sun lights up the house for much of the day and toddlers and pets are safe and sound with a fenced back yard.
