This absolutely stunning two bedroom home has been loved for many years and now it's time for someone new to call her home. You already know that a Collingwood Street address will mean you enjoy that Nelson feeling of walking to town for the markets, and strolling home from a top class dinner at our excellent local eateries. But behind the fence at 196 you'll also find a charming 1960's classic with modern comforts that mean entertaining at home will be just as rewarding, and you can grow your own vegetables.
Built to last, this home has welcomed the new while retaining its original feel. Timber window frames with adorable iron catches are in every room, and timber blinds are used so as not to detract from their beauty. The wood burner in the living room is serviced by one of the all-time best features of these older homes - a wood store cupboard beside which has external access from a covered storage and chopping area.
Both bedrooms are warm and relaxing thanks to soft carpet, large windows and a wonderful choice of colour on the walls. Built-in wardrobes with cupboards mean everything can have a place to be put away leaving ample room for a double bed in each.
The modern kitchen is simple and elegant, with white joinery, stainless benches and smeg appliances. There are open timber shelves along one wall, and the overhead cupboards employ frosted glass fronts so as not to appear to heavy in the space. The bathroom is also well appointed, clean and modern with great use of timber for shelving and cupboard fronts once again echoing the timber window frames. Frosted glass has been used here in the large windows allowing for privacy while maximising the natural light.
There's even raised vegetable gardens in two areas, backyard and along one side of the house, and fruit trees to keep your green thumb active. There's a small lawn and established planting to enjoy without the maintenance dominating your weekends.
