Is there a finer, restored grand villa in Nelson than this?
A meticulous renovation has not only returned this 1912 beauty to glorious, original condition but has transformed it into a home for sumptuous, contemporary living.
This is truly a special home, in a wonderful location, a few minutes' walk across the Hardy Street arch footbridge, past Queens Gardens to town.
Every part of the house, inside and out, has undergone no-expense-spared attention from its gable finials to its native timber floorboards.
The integral infrastructure of wiring, plumbing, weatherboards, and roof have all been refurbished where necessary. High quality finishing of paint, light fittings, carpet, and window shutters cap off a lavish restoration. The decor is impressively House and Garden, without pretention.
Edwardian character is fully intact, with bay windows, return verandas, high ceilings, solid timber doors, leadlight and coloured glass, but this is now a home with every comfort and amenity.
There's ducted heating and cooling, a kitchen to inspire cooks, magnificent living room, four beautiful bedrooms and two bathrooms; the master ensuite with heated floors. An alarm system is fitted.
Throughout the house there are connections with the outdoors, via French or stack-back doors to verandas, patio, or garden. The master and another upstairs bedroom each access the veranda while a third has its own private balcony.
There's the babble of the passing Maitai River and from upstairs, a vista from various rooms taking in the Botanics, the Cathedral and the Grampians.
The fenced, secure 490sqm garden is compact, barked for easy care with tandem car port parking.
The combination of location and stunningly impressive home make this offering irresistible.
