11 Nelson Crescent, Napier South, Napier City, Hawke's Bay

When a home has been enjoyed and tightly held onto by several generations, you know there must be something particularly special on offer. Proudly presented to the market for just the third time in over 100 years, this illusive and much loved home offers a highly sought after location, exceptional freehold section and almost every wish list item you could ever hope for.

We need not wax lyrical about the location, with recent sales in the area clearly showcasing the desirability of a such a central and sought after street. This beautifully character rich, early 1900s, home with significant updates comes complete on just over 1000sqm including in-ground pool, heritage fruit trees, groomed grounds, garaging and workshop, plus an external studio/rumpus room currently used as a from-home business, but also suited to guests or an office.

A more modern extension to the existing dwelling, is the heart of the home, including kitchen and walk-in scullery, second family living area, and expansive glass doors which fold completely back, opening out to the private pool area, decking and back garden. This is a remarkable space for year round living, impressively light, bright and positioned beautifully for sunshine.

The more original part of the home flows seamlessly down a character rich hallway, with awe inspiring high studs typical of the era, and polished timber flooring. Many of the beautiful and ornate features, homes of this build period are admired for, have also been woven into the more modern aspects and additions too, with stunning stain glass windows, ornate fireplaces and timber detailing.

Exceptionally generous proportions, the home offers options for either four or five bedrooms, an office and dual living areas, along with full family bathroom with spa bath and underfloor heating, and one of the most thoughtfully designed laundry rooms.

Spacious, beautiful and functional for the whole family - this is the ultimate combination, and the best of both worlds offering charm and quality updates. 11 Nelson Crescent is certainly a forever home you'll want to make your own.
