Bayleys Nelson - 15 Bridge Street, Nelson
These views are amazing!!
Commanding an extraordinary outlook across Tasman Bay to the ranges beyond, 30 Orakei Street is a home defined by position, prominence and panoramic views. From its elevated setting above Tahunanui, sea, sky and distant hills create an ever-changing vista beyond the windows.
Morning light dances across the water in flashes of gold, the tides quietly redraw the shoreline through the day, and by evening the western sky takes centre stage. It is a remarkable setting for a home combining generous open-plan living, elevated outdoor entertaining, spacious accommodation, excellent garaging and established gardens.
The kitchen, dining and living spaces are naturally drawn towards the view. Large expanses of glazing fill the interior with sun and light, while the generous proportions are equally suited to quiet mornings as they are to dinners that run late and rooms filled with friends.
At the heart of the home, the kitchen is practical, well positioned and wonderfully connected to the living spaces around it. Beyond, the elevated terrace becomes a natural extension of the house. Share dinner beneath the open sky, follow the last light across the bay or wait until darkness settles and let the stars provide the entertainment.
The primary bedroom offers the proportions of a genuine retreat, with room for a reading or study area, a Juliet balcony overlooking the gardens, walk-in wardrobe, ensuite and its own heat pump.
The second bedroom is also well proportioned, with an attractive outlook and plenty of flexibility for family or guests. A separate study or office adds another useful dimension, while a family bathroom, separate toilet, concealed laundry and excellent storage complete the accommodation.
Skylights draw natural light into the centre of the home, while double glazing, an HRV system and two heat pumps contribute to year-round warmth and comfort.
Internal-access double garaging includes substantial shelving and storage, while the generous driveway provides excellent additional off-street parking and flexibility for extra vehicles, a trailer, smaller boat or campervan.
Outside, the landscaping has a personality all its own. Fruit trees mingle with stone garden beds, peonies return in a flourish of seasonal colour, while flowering mānuka and crepe myrtles bring softness and texture to the hillside setting.
30 Orakei Street is generous, comfortable and wonderfully individual, but its greatest luxury may simply be the way it allows you to live: waking to light across the bay, watching the tide come and go, and ending the day beneath a sky that seems to stretch forever.
