22 Examiner Street, Nelson South, Nelson

Substantial and spacious character villa

Situated in an utterly central location, you will be charmed by this welcoming original character filled family villa. Truly a sanctuary to envelop you in old world charm, within squeaking distance of the city.
After 16 years, the owners of this spacious (230sqm) two-storey villa are reluctantly moving on, leaving a home that has nourished their lives with its grace, space and comfort.
For families with school-aged children, this is THE location, next door to Nelson College for Girls, close to the boys' college and minutes' to the hospital. This is such a beautiful place to live!
Morning sun streams in as you look over gracious trees to the Cathedral tower and out to Tasman Bay. To the east there's the Grampians.
Stroll through the Cathedral grounds on your way to town.
An original, leadlight front door sets the tone for the period treasures within; high, airy ceilings, ornate cornices and timber floors.
With three bedrooms plus study (or extra single bedroom), an elegant lounge/dining room and a cosy second lounge with gas fire, the home is a delight summer and winter.
French doors connect outdoors with the large dining and living room, with a breathtaking 9m x 4m of space.
While the house retains its villa charm, updates over the years include a stucco exterior, substantial double garaging, a new roof, insulation in the ceiling and under the floors, and Fijian Kauri doors whose glazing lets light flow between rooms.
There's a heat pump in the living room, a gas heater in the smaller lounge and a night store heater in the hall.
The circa 1918 home is elevated for sun and views on its 632sqm section of established gardens, with a delightful private backyard to entertain friends and provide fruit, berries and vegetables.
The house has a bevy of storage cupboards and a larger than normal double garage, with workshop space.
So many attributes make this lovely house a real home to make your memories.
