170 Collingwood Street, Nelson, Nelson

City Sanctuary, family delight!

Make the move to city life and create family memories in this wonderful, spacious Collingwood Street sanctuary with, sun, views, privacy.

Delightful surprises await beyond the spectacular 110-year-old Jacaranda tree guarding the front gate, an oasis of Balinese inspired tropical, organic gardens, overlooked by large decks for entertaining and an in-ground swim spa (negotiable with the sale).

The main level has three double bedrooms, two with ensuite bathrooms, a main bathroom and twin lounge areas.

The ground floor with its own access, features a double bedroom, bathroom, spacious lounge with kitchenette and is consented as a yoga room/workspace. This space has multiple options as a fantastic creative studio space, teenagers private retreat or an excellent area for guests to stay.

Multiple rooms open to the James Wheatley (of Chelsea Flower Show renown) designed gardens of 627sqm, a sunny, summer retreat by day and magically lit at night.

The master suite is a particular delight. It has not only a walk-in wardrobe with bath and shower and has a large, light-filled sunroom, as a parent's retreat or office and with its own access to decks and garden.

The home's 1950s sturdy structure remains, but a virtual re-build and extension of much of the house from 2014-16 (with Karsten Architectural Design) approx. 220sqm of light and contemporary comforts.

Almost everything has been renewed or remodelled, from the large contemporary kitchen to bathrooms, electrics and lighting and wall linings and the Colorsteel roof. The house is fully double-glazed and comprehensively insulated and has roof solar panels to provide virtually free hot water. Cladding is stucco and linea weatherboard.

The loft conceals another surprise, with access from a drop-down attic ladder. Under the gables is huge space for storage, and a large room beneath skylights.

Family homes with contemporary comfort, set in beautiful gardens on the city doorstep are rare, so don't delay in viewing with Nina James.
