49 Robinson Road, The Brook, Nelson

Brook sanctuary - views, peace and options

Country peace and quiet beckons just minutes from town, a property of surprise elevated in the Brook Valley with lovely views to bush clad hills and Tasman Bay.
It's hard to believe you are so close to the city, yet the short drive to Robinson Rd transports you to a place of birdsong and tranquility.
This solid, original home of 167 square metres and, currently, four bedrooms has much to offer various buyers.
A family or couple can add value with updates ranging from simple to more elaborate, and further landscaping. Investors can look forward to good rental returns.
Anyone who inspects will see the flexible living options on offer with this two-level home.
You have three bedrooms upstairs and spacious, elevated living with wrap-around decks.
Downstairs, it is your choice of uses. Here's another large bedroom, or perhaps a second large lounge, rumpus or games room with refurbished wall linings and double-glazing for doors and windows.
Add a second bathroom here, perhaps, providing even more appeal for extended family living or even home office.
The property is bathed in morning sunshine, facing directly down the valley, past the pohutukawa towards the Bay. Across the valley are hillsides full of birdlife.
The 1970s house is typical of the era, stucco clad and sturdy, with lots of native timbers, including the architraves and flooring.
The 844 square metre section slopes above the house, with a flat tier for outdoor enjoyment and tree-studded grass above. Here there is an opportunity for more landscaping and planting.
There is plenty of off-street parking and you could add a car port.
Brook Street is a haven for those who enjoy walks and ready access to Dun Mountain and Codger's tracks. Flat walks along the riverside also beckon.
Here's a part of the Brook Valley tucked way from the rest, a surprising sanctuary near the city and a property with appeal and potential for a range of buyers.
