Just three owners in nearly a century tells you this is a special, much loved home - elevated in one of Nelson's blue-chip neighbourhoods, an elegant family house with large, private pool amid stately grounds.

While original features of leadlight and coloured glazing, rimu wall panelling, exposed beams, doors, and fire mantlepieces are beautifully preserved, the house has been tastefully renovated over the years and updated for contemporary comfort.

The country-style kitchen is large enough for family helping-hands and there are two separate living areas, plus a sunroom overlooking leafy gardens and up to the Grampians.

As well, there's a rumpus room and office area in the basement with internal access to the downstairs garage. At 329sqm this is a large house with plenty of spaces for over-flow guests (and with a "secret" crawl space between upstairs bedrooms).

A deck off the kitchen/dining room is a delight for morning coffee or for summer BBQs, away from later summer sun. With its mature plantings of liquid amber, oak, totara, titoki on the boundaries and dotted around the lawns, you will love these 1308 square metres of grounds to roam and enjoy - and so will children for their play.

The fully fenced pool area is an oasis with lawn and pavers for sunbathing or lunch and a roomy pool (approx. 9m x 5m) which is warmed by rooftop solar heating.

The spacious living plus powder room is all on the entry level and the four bedrooms are upstairs, all with lovely views to the trees or north and east over the Cathedral tower to city and the Bay beyond. The Grampians trails are accessible from the top of Hampden Street.

Parking room is generous, with a single garage on the Ngatitama St side and a double access from Hampden. Attic storage and under-house space is extensive.

With the owners' regretful departure after 22 years, it's another family's chance to create special memories here.
