The Deadline for this home has been brought forward to Wednesday 18th March at 1pm. PLEASE GET IN TOUCH ASAP IF YOU HAVE INTEREST IN THIS PROPERTY. Opportunities like this are incredibly rare, and we think you’ll struggle to find anything that truly compares.
Lovingly held in the same family since it was built in the 1950s, this warm and welcoming character home has been thoughtfully improved over the years while retaining the charm and personality that make it so special. From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel the sense of history, heart and authenticity that only time can create.
Set on an expansive 2,698m² section, over half an acre, the property offers remarkable space, privacy and all-day sunshine. Elevated beautifully, this home enjoys a wonderful sense of openness along with the added bonus of sea glimpses, a subtle reminder of just how close you are to the coast. There is room here to breathe, to grow, and to further enhance what is already a truly special property.
The comfortable three-bedroom layout provides genuine versatility, with multiple living areas that could easily be reconfigured, extended, or adapted to suit your needs. Whether you’re dreaming of additional bedrooms, another bathroom, a work from home situation or simply more space for a growing family, there is exciting scope to add value over time.
Character features remain proudly on display, including beautiful timber floors, a cosy wood burner with wetback, and updated insulation to ensure year-round comfort. This is not a cookie-cutter home, it is a property with soul.
Outside, the lifestyle on offer is equally compelling. Think productive fruit trees, thriving veggie gardens, space for chooks, and long sun-soaked afternoons. It’s the good life many talk about but rarely find so close to town. For the car enthusiast or hobbyist, the substantial garage and workshop complete with a full-height pit will be a true highlight. A second garage, carports and ample off-street parking mean there is room for all the toys, tools and projects you could imagine.
The location is hard to beat. With Tahunanui Beach, Nelson Junction, Stoke shops, Nelson city, cycleways and mountain bike tracks all within easy reach, you’ll enjoy both convenience and lifestyle in equal measure.
20 Douglas Road is more than just a home, it is an opportunity to create, expand, and embrace space, privacy, sunshine and elevation in a tightly held location. If you are looking for character, charm and future potential, be sure to view the virtual tour and come along to one of our open homes.
Please park on the roadside and walk up the driveway to fully appreciate everything this special property has to offer.
Deadline Sale (unless sold prior) 1pm 18th March 2026. Prior offers can happen at any time so please make sure you register your interest with us.
