All-day sun, pretty views and a short walk to town - these were "crucial must-haves" for the current owners of 14 Arrow Street when they were looking to buy a home in Nelson almost 10 years ago.

Not only did they find all three in this 1930s beauty, they delighted in discovering the 868m² property has an interesting history; its rich and fertile terraced gardens and lawns were once part of extensive orchards which ran through the neighbourhood valley. Over the years, they've expanded the garden's wholesome 'menu' to include a variety of citrus and berries, hazelnuts, apples, pears, nashi, quinces and cherries, rhubarb and vegetables.

Built to last, the recently re-painted, two-storey weatherboard and stucco house sits on an elevated site, nestled into the Arrow Street hill where it basks in uninterrupted sunshine all year round. Wide windows in the lounge and two upstairs bedrooms frame pretty views down the valley, through the every-changing hues of Pioneer Park, to the city, Walter's Bluff and the Grampian Ranges. From the deck and outdoor dining area, the vista extends to the Centre of New Zealand.

Beautiful native rimu from historic buildings in Nelson city have been salvaged, restored and re-purposed in the kitchen as solid timber benchtops, and the kitchen window looks to the back garden.

Carpeted stairs from the living areas lead down to a single bedroom, which doubles as a study, and a further very large room is currently used as a guest bedroom, but its spacious proportions offer many possibilities.

The continuing growth of their business in another city has pushed the owners to make re-location plans and reluctantly put their much-loved family home on the market.
