359 Hardy Street, Nelson

Here’s one of Nelson’s classic two-storey villas of the horse and carriage days, now fully modernised; a warm and distinctive family villa brimming with character and so handy to town and schools.

On the corner of Hardy and Tasman streets, this is prime real estate, close to the Maitai River walkway and Queens Gardens.

With four bedrooms and three living spaces, a self-contained two-room unit, plus a sleepout, there’s ample room for the family – plus rental income opportunity.

Wide verandas, soaring ceilings, original timbers, and coloured glass, will appeal to those who value the features of a turn of century villa.

Two heat pumps, underfloor heating in kitchen/dining, two-way log burner and an HRV system throughout makes this a very comfortable home.

The 650m2 section is, bounded by mature trees for privacy.

Open the leadlight glass front door, and step into the wide hallway and airy space and feel the magic.

Having two living rooms plus a sunroom is a boon, while the studio offers the choice of extra income, or in-law accommodation, perhaps. The home has verandas and decks on three sides, with flat lawns or paved areas for play or entertaining.

No 359 is blessed with its two-street, corner access, including a private gate to the studio. With its living room/kitchen, spacious bedroom and ensuite bathroom, it has been a successful B&B rental.

The sleepout attached to the garage is a magnet for children as a bedroom or hang-out space.

The hub of the house is the kitchen/dining area, opening on two sides to verandas and with living rooms adjoining.

Three of the bedrooms are upstairs, all bathed in light with elevated views to the Grampians, Centre of New Zealand, or city.

With another large downstairs bedroom, parents have choices for their master suite.

The location puts you minutes from town and schools. Lovely homes of this era and appeal in this part of town are always desirable.
