Marybank, Nelson
Auction
It's circa 1977, and it's a whopping 360 sqm home on a level, 956sqm site, with 180-degree views, from Port Nelson to the north of Tasman Bay. The outlook is stunning - as is the house, stunning in its sheer size, both inside and out, and for its original features; we are talking orange shag-pile carpet, original floral-print wallpaper, coloured glass panels, exposed timber features, groovy light fittings, and vanities. If you are a fan of 70s style or just see the potential in this huge, solidly built 4+ bedroom home, you really need to view this property. You can also take in the views and the serenity in peace from the deck, as you are a nice distance from the highway. You may just hear the sound of children playing, as access to Clifton Terrace School is just 2 doors away. Outside, you have off-street parking for around 6 cars - plus another 3 at least in the internal-access garage, which presents as a showroom, complete with white tiles, of course. There is also a carport, which is ideal for a small boat. Large, recently trimmed palm trees on the site to add a tropical feel. The gardens are simple and established, and the aspect is Northwest. Ground floor you have a roomy guest bedroom, a full bathroom, a store-room, large laundry and the garaging, but not to be missed is the pool-room - yes a poolroom; a big games room, set up for a full-sized snooker table, complete with padded bar, an external, covered spa-area adjacent and leading to the jewel in this retro crown, a beautiful in-ground pool and patio/ BBQ area, sun-drenched and private, with views. Perfect for parties and long summer evenings with the family. On the top floor, the views are spectacular and can be enjoyed from the entire west side of the house, which includes a large kitchen/dining space, a walk-in pantry and access to the decks. Then, a step up to the main lounge, with high stud and exposed beams, is very generous in size and has great sun. There is a heat pump here, and it makes a great space for the family to gather. Watch the ships come and go from here, taking in the ever-changing landscape of the sea and the mountains and of course, the glorious sunsets. There is a bathroom on this level and also 4 bedrooms, including a master with a shower and a walk-in wardrobe, plus a roomy office adjacent. This property is in need of some serious renovation for sure - but the quality of the site, the position and the sheer size of this solidly built home means the potential is, like the property, Immense. You must view this one to appreciate it. Our vendor is seriously for sale - Contact Team Nalder for a viewing today. Auction onsite Saturday November 29th 12.00 Midday (Unless Sold Prior)
