2 Weka Street, The Wood, Nelson

Charm & opportunity in The Wood

The rose garden scents from the front garden are a match for this atmospheric character home which seems to embrace you with warmth as soon as you step inside.

If you love the ambience of 1930s homes with bay windows and lovely timbers, this one will capture your heart. To add to the attraction, you are within an easy walk from town - with walks and bike tracks close by.

A corner location, open to sun and outlook, is another reason this bungalow stands out.

Couples and small families will see much to like in this two-bedroom plus sunroom, two-bathroom home with contemporary updates for comfortable living.

A compact, 334 square metre section, means there's a premium on leisure time, rather than garden chores.

However, the outdoor living space is private and just right for an evening barbecue - with enough space to grow veges or keep a trampoline or swing set. There's even an outdoor bath with hot and cold water.

You'll enjoy sun throughout the day and the house is warmed by a compliant log burner and a heat pump.

Work has been done to update the home, indoors and out, but new owners will also see the opportunity to open and re-design spaces and add further value.

Morning sun streams into the kitchen and the bay window in the dining room, with another bay window in the lounge.

Original timber fireside mantlepieces are lovingly intact as are exposed ceiling beams, lovely old doors and architraves and skirting boards.

The family bathroom has been updated and the master bedroom comes with an ensuite bathroom, with direct access to the garden.

An old single garage has been modernized with an automated door.

With so much charm, opportunity for sympathetic extension and its excellent location on the city doorstep, this is a home you must see.
