Some homes offer convenience. Others offer views. Very few offer both. Perched above central Greymouth and enjoying a commanding outlook across the town, Grey River and out towards the coastline, this charming 1930s character home presents a unique opportunity to secure an elevated position rarely available so close to the CBD.
Accessed via a flight of stairs from the street or an alternative concrete pathway, the reward is immediately apparent. From its elevated vantage point, this home captures expansive vistas that stretch from the river through the township and beyond to the sea - a constantly changing backdrop that can be enjoyed from the comfort of your living spaces.
Thoughtfully decorated to celebrate its heritage, the home retains much of the charm and personality synonymous with its era. Spread across two levels, the layout offers flexibility for families, guests, or those seeking additional space to work from home. The lower level comprises three bedrooms, a bathroom with shower and toilet, and a separate laundry, while upstairs is dedicated to everyday living with kitchen, dining area and lounge positioned to make the most of the spectacular outlook - an additional bedroom and bathroom.
Significant improvements have already been completed, including a re-roof, full insulation throughout (ceiling/walls and underfloor), while the exterior remains in excellent condition, ensuring peace of mind for years to come. Adding to the home's appeal is a diesel-fired heating system feeding six radiators throughout including water heating, creating a warm and welcoming environment no matter the season.
At street level, a generous double garage with power and workshop space provides excellent storage and functionality, complemented by additional roadside parking. Surrounding the home are established, easy-care gardens designed to maximise enjoyment while minimising maintenance. To the rear, a private outdoor area offers the perfect spot for a spa pool, barbecue, or simply relaxing while taking in the elevated views.
Location is another standout feature. Leave the car at home and enjoy the convenience of being within walking distance of Greymouth's CBD, schools, supermarkets, cafes and everyday amenities.
Properties such as this appeal to buyers looking for something a little different - a home with character, personality, outstanding views and a location that's hard to beat. If you've been searching for a property that stands apart from the crowd, this elevated retreat deserves your attention.
