About this property
The Nile Street Bungalow - Character Home with a Pool in Central Location
Experience the charm of one of Nelson’s most character-filled homes, ideally located on leafy Nile Street - one of the city’s oldest and most sought-after neighbourhoods. Just a 6-minute stroll to the CBD, Maitai River, and the Centre of New Zealand Reserve, this peaceful spot offers the perfect balance of tranquillity and convenience, with cafés, shops, walking trails, and swimming holes all within easy reach.
Originally built in the 1930s, this classic wooden bungalow blends timeless character with relaxed comfort. Inside, a warm, easygoing layout create an inviting atmosphere. Step outside to enjoy a fully fenced section featuring a sun-drenched, partially enclosed veranda, seasonal gardens, generous off-street parking, and a vinyl-lined in-ground pool - perfect for cooling off on a sunny Nelson day.
Ideal for families, couples, or professionals, the home offers a private and well-positioned base in central Nelson. The pool and fully fenced yard make it a great choice for families, while nature lovers will appreciate the easy access to river tracks, mountain biking trails, and nearby golf courses. Designed for relaxed living, this is a place to unwind and feel at home.
