Deadline Sale (will not be sold prior).

This may be the prize real estate opportunity of 2021 in Nelson - a splendid home of its era on three separate titles 83.983 totalling 4,292 square metres, sited on one of the Tahunanui Hills' most prominent locations.

For the first time in more than 50 years, this adored and original family home, one of the finest in Nelson in its day, is available, ready for a modern makeover or live and enjoy for today.

With a near-180 degree sweep of Tasman Bay, Tahunanui beach in the foreground and a glimpse of The Cut to the north, the panorama is stupendous, and you can hear the surf.

And where else, on the city's doorstep, can you find 4,292 square metres of land (1.06 acres) - and in three titles?

Nowhere else is the answer!

No 54 is at the end of a sweeping drive in a commanding, wonderfully private position among lovely gardens.

With lawns and vegetable gardens bordered by rock walls, avocado trees bursting with fruit, yellow and pink hibiscus, roses and a host of other plantings, the evidence of a loved, carefully considered, and well-tended garden is clear.

The house has presence, impressively proportioned with 2.7m high ceilings and ultra-wide hallways, decorative plaster ceiling mouldings and built-in cabinetry.

Large, airy rooms include a massive living room opening to a covered front patio and a super large kitchen. The design and construction circa 1969 was clearly unstinting in detail and quality and the house has always been well maintained.

Updates over the years include heat pump power for the ducted heating system throughout the house and an alarm system. There's excellent garaging and workshop space with toilet facility.

It is a very original home, true to the late 1960s with its pelmets, wallpapers, and decor. It is a home you could delight in while planning 21st century updates, small or large. Any investment here in one of the premier locations in Nelson will surely be well rewarded.
