36 Britannia Heights, Stepneyville, Nelson

Glorious harbour views - prime position!

Wanting superb harbour and Bay views close to town without paying a kings ransom? Heres one, a superbly located, spacious home with mesmerising close-up views of the ships and yachts heading in and out of Port Nelson.

Few properties in Nelson provide this sort of magical vista, from a two-level home offering loads of space and very comfortable, easy living.

Atop the Britannia Heights ridge for all-day sun, and just minutes from town, this property offers a blue riband location. Here is a select sea view address that also represents relatively affordable living.

Built in the 1980s, the house with its airy, high gabled roofline, has maintenance-free Hardiplank cladding and presents delightfully with modern kitchen (with scullery) and updated bathrooms fresh paint, brand new, lush carpet, and lovely interior decor.

Winter warmth comes from a heat pump and a log fire (with wetback) while in summer you can open two sets of double-glazed, stack-back doors for indoor-outdoor living. Enjoy the magnificent sunsets and the summer evening breeze.

Your view from a wonderful, large entertainers deck is directly over the inner harbour and lighthouse to sparkling Tasman Bay with the western mountains glistening with winter snow.

With four bedrooms, or three and two lounges, plus study, you will love the space on offer here, including generous parking for multiple vehicles (including double garage) - and room for campervan or boat.

But with a very manageable and mostly flat 511sqm, you will not be saddled with never-ending and difficult grounds upkeep (although the garden provides sufficient room for vege growers and potterers alike).

Storage is another plus here, with cupboards everywhere and dedicated storage in the basement garage and workshop.

Homes in top locations with glorious sea views are fetching increasingly high prices, so get in here while you can!
