8 Arrow Street, Washington Valley, Nelson, Nelson / Tasman

Wow – you will not want to pass this one by! Five bedrooms, beautiful timber features, stunning creative aesthetic, and so close to schools and the city centre.

Set among mature trees and established planting, this 1940s three-level character home combines generous space with warmth, light and creative flair. Elevated gently from the street, the home enjoys excellent sun from morning through late afternoon, filling the interiors with natural light year-round.

Lovingly redecorated, it retains beautiful timber features and floors, balanced with thoughtful contemporary updates. The lower level forms the heart of the home, with an artistically renovated kitchen featuring a striking black-and-white chequered floor, warm ply cabinetry, ample storage and a wraparound bench that doubles as a breakfast bar. This flows into a spacious dining and sitting area, where a large picture window frames expansive valley views.

A second living room faces east, capturing the morning sun and offering a peaceful retreat, ideal for reading, music or quiet reflection. A heat pump provides comfort, while a powder room (separate toilet and basin), additional storage and a separate laundry complete this level.

Upstairs, restored Rimu balustraded stairs lead to five bedrooms, offering flexibility for families, guests, home offices or creative studios. Two updated family bathrooms reflect a creative and practical aesthetic – one with glass shower, the other with a luxurious bath.

Outdoor living is equally appealing. A private, sheltered deck at the rear acts as a sunny haven for entertaining or relaxing, overlooking a sweeping lawn bordered by mature trees. The generous backyard provides ample space for children to play and families to gather.

An established garden orchard enhances the property’s charm and productivity, with apple, plum and cherry trees, alongside lemon, mandarin, peach, nectarine and pine nut trees, all offering seasonal abundance and a true garden-to-table lifestyle. Despite its tranquil feel, the home is just a short walk to Nelson city centre and close to local schools. Two off-street car parks at road level add convenience.

Spacious, character-filled and full of potential, 8 Arrow Street offers room to grow, create and enjoy, a sunny sanctuary connected to the heart of the city.

Don’t hesitate on this – as this property offers a lot for your money!
