After 16 years in the industry, when you get a call to appraise a property, you have a bit of an idea of what you are likely to see.

This property blasted everything I thought I knew out the window, and left me feeling that I had been to see a property in one of Nelson's more exclusive locations. The quality of the design, the craftsmanship, construction, detail and finishing sets this house well above any other property you are likely to see in the under $500,000 price range.

The position of the house on the site ensures that, when you are preparing breakfast, you can enjoy the first of sunlight and fabulous views of the barnicoat ranges, and when you're enjoying an evening wine after a hard days work you can enjoy the final moments of sun before the entire regions succumbs to dusk.

Four fantastic bedrooms are superbly complemented by spacious open plan living and dining, which seamlessly flow to the smart, modern and functional kitchen. All the proportions of this house feel generous. The master bedroom, ensuite and walk in wardrobe are particularly spacious, the second and third bedrooms are definite doubles, and the fourth bedroom/office is easily a generous single.

The hallways and access areas are spacious. The outdoor areas reflect the indoor sense of space, which makes this an exceptional home in a location so central to Nelson, Richmond and all of our regions amenities, that you would never be under pressure to get to appointments, schools, meetings and dinner parties on time.

Let go of everything you thought you knew by allowing yourself to experience quality, opportunity and value at the very first open home this Sunday.
