Deadline Sale Closes: 12pm 4th September 2026 (unless sold prior)

Tucked away on a private rear section on the Tahunanui side of Annesbrook Drive, this much-loved 1890s villa is coming to the market for the first time in 23 years. With plenty to love, this is a home with a story woven through its original character and timeless details. High ceilings, sash windows, timber floors, decorative fretwork and the traditional verandah all add to its charm and sense of history.

The home is spread over two levels. Downstairs, the living areas connect seamlessly with the outdoors, the dining room opens through double-glazed French doors onto a sunny timber deck. The thoughtfully modernised kitchen provides the practicality expected of contemporary living while sitting comfortably alongside the villa's original features. The original fireplaces in the home are no longer operational, but their beautiful mantels remain, bringing warmth and a sense of history to several rooms throughout the house. A heat pump provides modern-day comfort.

The downstairs guest bedroom is a generous space, featuring the same character details found throughout the home, including a charming bay window and French doors opening onto the verandah. A bathroom and laundry complete the lower level.

A gorgeous original staircase leads upstairs, where you'll discover the master bedroom, a further guest bedroom, a generous open office and a second bathroom. From this level, lovely views towards the sea add another layer to the home's appeal.

Outside, the garden is lush and wonderfully private, with an almost subtropical feel, abundant green foliage and a mix of native and exotic plantings. Nikau palms, rimu, kowhai, ferns, monstera and aloes create plenty of texture and year-round interest, while wisteria winds around the verandah, beautifully connecting the house with the garden. A charming potting room, large garden shed and off-street parking for two to three cars complete this very appealing outdoor space.

For entertaining and relaxing, there are plenty of options. A sunny timber deck leads to a paved patio centred around a firepit with a BBQ grill, and a brick pizza oven. It is the perfect setup for long summer lunches, relaxed evenings with friends or roasting marshmallows around the fire.

Despite its peaceful, tucked-away feel, the location is incredibly convenient. Tahunanui Beach, local schools, shops and Nelson city are all within easy reach.

This is a special opportunity to make this charming old villa your own. With character that can only come with age, a garden full of personality and a wonderfully private position close to everything, this is a home with a story to tell, and the chance for its next chapter to begin.
