42 Dodson Valley Road, Atawhai, Nelson

Family space, views and peace

Head up the drive to your private, sheltered world with lovely elevated views. Here's delightful Kiwi family living in an updated home on a large, flat section.
From first sight, you'll be impressed with this 1950s home, well presented with a host of updates to provide comfortable, appealing living indoors and out. The three bedrooms are spacious doubles and there are two bathrooms.
There's lots to like about the location, just five easy-driving kilometres to town and well away from road noise - and with a distinct rural flavour.
Farm hillsides are in view from the elevated site atop a knoll, facing north for all-day sun and with vistas over Tasman Bay to western mountains.
Full-size sections are ever harder to find and with 1,045 square metres here, the family will have plenty of room for play and enjoyment. The space is matched inside, with 200 square metres of floor plan (including double garage with internal access and dedicated workshop).
The house offers spacious rooms and lots of modern inclusions since its re-modelling about five years ago. Most windows are now double-glazed, there's a new roof, uprated electricals, plumbing and stormwater and recent new plush carpet and paintwork.
Other inclusions are the log fire wetback to significantly reduce winter power bills and a heat transfer system.
A large deck runs the full width of the house overlooking the rear garden which is fenced and there are other garden nooks around the house. Fruit trees and natives abound, including kowhai and pohutakawa to attract the birdlife.
There's stacks of parking room at the top of the drive; space enough for your boat or caravan.
The house also provides loads of storage space inside with numerous cupboards.
This really is a great, well-located family home with a Four Square supermarket at the bottom of the street, Atawhai pre-school and Clifton Terrace School close by and a hassle-free drive or cycleway bike ride into town.
