Picture yourself here!
A glass of wine in hand as the last light settles across the Haven. Friends gathered while dinner comes together, doors open, conversation flowing from inside to out. Or perhaps it is morning coffee with the tide coming in, a quiet room to work, or a place for family to stay.
1 Sybil Way, Atawhai is that kind of home.
Elevated above Marybank, this three-bedroom, three-bathroom, solid plaster (with cavity system) home enjoys a wonderful position between Nelson and the landscape beyond.
The open plan living, kitchen and dining area has been beautifully transformed into a warm and connected space. At its heart is a striking kitchen with bespoke American oak benchtops, black detailing and warm brass accents. Double glazing and two heat pumps provide year-round comfort.
This is an easy home in which to entertain. Friends can gather around the kitchen or settle into the lounge, others can spill outside, and everyone remains connected. Beyond the dining area, outdoor living extends naturally, creating a lovely place for summer lunches, late afternoon drinks or a coffee while the tide moves below. Across the Haven, the western ranges form an ever-changing backdrop.
Accommodation is arranged with a pleasing degree of separation. The first bedroom sits directly off the main living area and includes a walk-in wardrobe and tiled ensuite. Moving through the house, a separate sitting room provides another place to retreat, with a full bathroom positioned centrally nearby.
At the rear are two further bedrooms, including the room currently used as the primary suite, together with another bathroom and separate external access.
It is this layout that gives 1 Sybil Way its real versatility. The home could suit a family with older children, multigenerational living or an elderly parent wanting independence while remaining close by. Separate access also creates possibilities for a home office, studio, consultation or treatment space. The property has previously been resource consented for a two-unit configuration, and, with the necessary building work and current council approvals, there is potential to reinstate a self-contained living arrangement in the future.
Spanning approximately 203sqm, the home offers room to come together and room to retreat. Below, two single garages provide parking, a laundry and excellent storage, with one offering internal access. There is also an additional parking area that could accommodate a trailer, boat or campervan.
Outside, established planting, olive trees, citrus, rosemary and stone pathways create a garden that feels lush and settled while remaining manageable.
Head south and central Nelson is only minutes away. Head north and the landscape opens toward Hira, Cable Bay and Glenduan.
More space, more options, and perhaps, more of the life you have been looking for.
