Truly Special on Shelbourne Street

Tucked quietly within one of Nelson’s most coveted and tightly held inner-city streets, lies a home that feels more like a private retreat, a place where life slows, light lingers, and each day unfolds with ease.

From the moment you arrive, there is a sense of calm. Sheltered from the street and embraced by a neighbourhood of quality homes, this beautifully and elegantly renovated 1975 solid build, offers rare privacy just moments from the city’s gentle hum. A short, unhurried stroll leads you to cafés, restaurants, galleries and the Centre of Musical Arts – yet once inside, the world softens and the rhythm of town fades away.

The home has been thoughtfully redesigned for modern living to an exceptional standard, where comfort and simplicity take centre stage. Open plan living, kitchen and dining spaces flow effortlessly together, filled with northern light and finished in a palette of soft, restful tones. Forte oak floors bring warmth beneath your feet, while the sleek, contemporary kitchen – bright, refined and quietly impressive, invites both everyday rituals and relaxed entertaining. White cabinetry gleams, the gloss tile splashback reflects light and greenery, and the generous breakfast bar becomes a natural place to linger over morning coffee or evening conversation.

A large picture window draws the eye outward to a protected reserve of established trees, where birdsong drifts gently through the day. This outlook is not merely seen, it is felt. Peaceful, grounding, and deeply restorative.

Two generous double bedrooms offer flexibility and comfort, ideal for those seeking to downsize without compromise. The main bedroom opens directly to the sun-warmed deck, allowing you to wake each morning to soft light filtering through the leaves. The bathroom is beautifully appointed, finished with floor-to-ceiling ceramic tiles, underfloor heating, and a glass shower that feels both elegant and timeless. A discreetly tucked-away laundry keeps daily living effortless and uncluttered.

Step outside and discover one of this home’s true pleasures, a private hardwood deck, north-facing and bathed in sun. At the rear of the property, a secluded barbecue area offers another inviting space to gather with friends. Fenced and thoughtfully landscaped, the garden features citrus trees and a sense of seclusion that feels almost impossible this close to town.

Comfort is assured in every season, with underfloor heating, double glazing, a gas fireplace and a heat pump creating a warm, quiet sanctuary in winter and cool relief in summer. Off-street parking for one vehicle via a private lane adds practicality without disturbing the home’s tranquil atmosphere. A large storage shed is perfect for your e-bike and other equipment.

This is a home designed for living well – perfect for retirees! It is a home that offers security without sacrifice, beauty without effort, and a lifestyle where privacy and proximity exist in perfect balance.

This is your opportunity to settle into something truly special.
