253 Rutherford Street, Nelson South, Nelson

This charming two bedroom cottage is a must see for those seeking easy access to the town's cafes, restaurants and art galleries, situated in a quiet sought after location on the corner of Brougham Street, between the Colleges.

A rare offering, built in the early 1900s, this character home has all its charms intact, including warm tones of Rimu timber throughout, stunning bay windows and beautiful weatherboard cladding.

Although presently used as a specialist dental surgery, this charming property could easily be converted back to a two bedroom home with open plan living. With its traditional high ceilings and polished Rimu flooring, framed by deep skirting boards, the interior evokes a sense of grandeur from the moment you step inside.

There are two spacious bedrooms, each with their own heat pump. The south bedroom features sash windows; whereas the southwest bedroom features a lovely bay window.

The separate living space also features a bay window, offering views out to the lush green gardens and patio area. Heating here is via a heat pump.

The kitchen features a gas hob, dish drawer, a bench with cupboards and drawers beneath and a corner pantry. There is currently room for a dining table and if the walls were removed from the lab/office area the living area would be quite spacious.

A generous, tiled washroom is bright and refreshing complete with basin and mirror above, a toilet and a large window providing natural light. The laundry is situated off the porch, has a concrete floor and houses the hot water cylinder.

The house has weatherboard cladding and a corrugated iron roof. There is off street parking for three vehicles on the north side, but this could easily be converted back to gardens and outdoor living space. There is additional off street parking for two cars on the south side driveway, where an aluminum storage shed is located.

While its city address is among the most desirable, it offers a quiet and peaceful environment to relax and unwind – contact the team today.
