6 Endeavour Street, Nelson South, Nelson

Prime street, gorgeous home!

This is absolute, prime living close to town, the colleges, and the hospital - a beautiful location, private and serene, and a gorgeous bungalow brimming with character combined with modernity. Number 6 is positioned in one of Nelson's most desirable streets, a tree-lined, virtual country lane.

The 1930s Californian bungalow has been stunningly restored and added to - making it a warm and comfortable family home with a tranquil rear setting for relaxing and entertaining.

Four bedrooms plus study or hobby/music room are offered including master with ensuite bathroom, two living rooms - the family area at the rear opening to large, inviting decks in the sun-dappled garden.

Lovely timbers abound in architraves and joinery; exposed beam ceilings, and solid, original timber doors add rich patina, complemented by coloured glass and leadlights and bay windows.

This is a home that melds the charms of yesteryear with 21st century comfort and features and architecturally designed additions by Jerram Tocker + Barron.

The contemporary kitchen is a stunner with granite island bar and benchtops, premium appliances, and whitewashed country-style joinery.

This is a light, bright and warm home, with four skylights and other generous glazing, ceiling and underfloor insulation, a fireplace with modern pollution-reducing chimney and two heat pumps.

Solar power brings cost-savings to water heating and there's an HRV system for dry air circulation.

With the house additions and installation of new windows in the living/kitchen area, the house is partially double glazed. Storage is excellent, including large under-house spaces which could even be further developed.

All these features, though, are simply a backdrop to the peaceful lifestyle provided here once you enter through the driveway gates. The abundance of native trees and shrubs bring year-round birdsong.

You are within easy walking or biking distance of colleges and city, with Fairfield Park close by and ready access to Grampians trails.
