5a Talbot Street, Richmond, Tasman, Nelson

Step into perfection with this cosy, refurbished two-bedroom home - an immaculate gem, ideal for first-time buyers, savvy investors or those looking for a downsized lock-and-leave retreat. Situated down a private sealed driveway, this well-insulated and double-glazed residence is nestled in an attractive, easy-care garden. Well proportioned throughout, the home is well-placed to catch all-day sunshine. There’s a spacious carpeted living and dining area with floor-length designer curtains, a heat pump, and a glass slider that opens to the paved wrap-around alfresco dining terrace which has a convenient ramp for easy access. Cook with a pretty garden view in the spotless kitchen, nicely equipped with display and storage cupboards, a ceramic stovetop and oven, and double sinks with an insinkerator. The two carpeted double bedrooms reflect the home’s calming colour palette of creamy white; both have floor-length custom curtains and double closets. Freshly upgraded, the pristine bathroom has a shower, toilet, ceiling heater and extractor, oversized mirror and gleaming new vanity. There’s a separate laundry, too, complete with a handy tub and an exterior door to the clothesline. Need lots of cupboards for linens and collectables? No problem! There are plenty, plus there’s a hot water closet with a brand new tank. Outside is a garden haven, complete with a storm water reserve for irrigating. Beautifully designed, low maintenance and fully landscaped, the garden features specimen trees, an exotic cacti collection and raised vegetable beds. And if you’ve got gardening and sports equipment to store, or are a keen handyperson, you’ll appreciate the two garden sheds and the workshop with its benches and shelving. There’s a double garage with electric doors, plus a large forecourt with oodles of space for a caravan, boat and extra vehicles. The home’s convenient location means shops, cafés and supermarkets are just a short stroll away - leave the car behind. What a wonderful place to call home!
