Your waterfront paradise awaits, Nelson's iconic and unobstructed waterfront view in a platinum location. Directly in front is the harbour, The Cut, and the seascape to the mountains from one of the city's blue-ribbon locations. Ships head towards you through The Cut, yachts tack and duel - and then there are the sunsets in all their spectacular colours. A more enchanting view would be hard to find, and all this from a fabulous turn of 20th century villa, delightfully renovated, a home to entertain and host friends in elegant style.
With four or five bedrooms and four bathrooms (two ensuite), this home has all the space you need over two levels, with a loft above.
What's more it has a layout to suit so many purposes, including a private B&B suite, if you seek extra income or look after an elderly one, and consulting rooms to operate a home-based business, with completely private access for clients.
A striking, covered veranda overlooking the panorama, solid wooden doors, native timber floors rich in patina and shuttered sash windows and leadlights typify the genteel nature of this impressive home. The master bedroom has French doors opening to a north-facing deck looking out to the Harbour and Bay. The loft above makes a fantastic teen's retreat, or a studio with brilliant light for an artist.
The lower floor, with independent access off the street through French doors, comprises a whole suite of rooms, including offices, rumpus/gym or media/games room, bathroom, laundry and kitchenette. On this level is internal access to each of the two single garages.
On the main level, is another suite with bedroom, bathroom/toilet and kitchenette, and a second single bedroom.
The home underwent extensive updates in 2015/16 and more recently, has been repainted outside and the kitchen joinery updated.
