Families will adore the 370 square metres of space, staggering views, total peace, and privacy, amid the blissful backdrop of birdsong and native bush. As a formula for the good life, in a home that’s out of the ordinary, this is hard to beat. With views ahead to Tasman Bay, five bedrooms, huge living room, and formal dining in this amazing setting, 31 Strathaven Place is a sanctuary to fall in love with.
Strongly built, with thick Oamaru stone and concrete slab floor, this home exceeds usual standards, and took two years to construct. Double glazing was ahead of its time and two of three floors, tiled or carpeted, can be heated. A large heat pump adds to the comfort. This is a lovely warm home, with tiled floors to retain heat, yet cool in summer. Just check the living spaces!
A delightful kitchen is adjoined by a sunny breakfast nook and cosy lounging area with dress circle views over the bay for sunset drinks. The main lounge is huge with separate dining or office space, generous hallways, five bedrooms and full-size laundry adding to the living appeal. The home is adorned with beautiful Kauri timbers, including the staircase, solid doors and architraves, all illustrating the quality detail.
A wrap-around deck for evening BBQs and garden areas for morning and afternoon sun make for contented family living. Outside, there’s room to play, laze or garden with terraced lawns dotted with fruit and other lovely trees, and host to morepork, kereru, bellbird, tui and falcons. Within a cul-de-sac off a no-through road, with just a handful of mostly out of sight neighbours, this getaway is like few others, but with many amenities and beaches close by.
The local Grocer and Fish and Chip Shop are at the bottom of the street, Clifton Terrace school is close by and it’s less than 10 minutes into Nelson by car. Or take a ride on the dedicated cycleway.
