1 Commodore Place, Britannia Heights, Nelson, Nelson / Tasman, 7010, New Zealand

After 21 years here, the current owners are still loathe to leave their contemporary, architecturally designed home with incredible views both day and night – the only thing drawing them away from their beloved spot is the call of the country life. Built on an elevated large corner section with only 1 close neighbouring property, the level of peace and privacy is high, with panoramic views to the Bay, Western Ranges and the Grampians to the east.

Most rooms enjoy one of these incredible views, evident from the moment you step inside and look out south from the picture book window at the end of the stairwell. The spacious open plan living area opens to a north east facing courtyard for all year round al fresco living and dining.

Gorgeous timber flooring in the kitchen dining reflects the natural light that streams through the home, and the outlook – when it is not encompassing those incredible views – is green and inviting, with mostly tropical palms, native trees and shrubs.

Something quite unexpected and very welcome with this property is the carport at the bottom of the section, to complement the internal access double garage, perfect for your boat or extra vehicle – hard to find in this neighbourhood. The current owners have also loved the location, so handy to both Tahunanui Beach and Nelson City. The property is fully double glazed, and constructed from linea and solid stucco with a cavity.
