The views from this stunning, split-level, three double bedroom home are breathtaking. Tucked into a rise, on 1,031 square metres of lawn and gardens, with extensive timber decks, the house enjoys all-day sun and sea and mountain views from all rooms.

From the clock tower, the outlook extends over the port and marina to the Moutere hills, Ruby Bay bluffs, Kina cliffs and Motueka. Ahead, views sweep across the Haven, Boulder Bank and lighthouse to the wide expanse of Tasman Bay, as it extends along the snow-capped Western ranges to Separation Point and the sea beyond. It is an ever-changing panorama, which can alter dramatically from a sunlit seascape to a spectacular Nelson sunset.

Built in 2008, the solidly constructed, 168 square metre home combines low maintenance weatherboard walls and pale cream plastered feature walls with anodised aluminium joinery and a charcoal Coloursteel roof. There is an additional, 30 square metre kwila front deck, enclosed by safety glass balustrades and a 16 square metre timber deck, outside the dining room, enclosed by oriental slatted timber screens, with gates on two sides.

The house is designed with a central living area, flanked by two wings, one containing the master suite; the other housing two guest or family bedrooms and the main bathroom. Its clean, contemporary lines, mono-pitched roof and calm colours fit well into the natural environment. The building carries a Certified Builders' Ten Year Guarantee, which expires in 2018.

This is a lovely, light and airy home, designed to make the most of Nelson's superb climate and outdoor lifestyle. Glass sliding doors, in the living room and French doors, in the dining room and master bedroom combine with glass sliding doors, in two bedrooms to access decks and outdoor dining areas, creating a spacious environment for indoor/outdoor living and entertaining.

The warm, well insulated home has double glazed, tinted glass doors and windows throughout. A Fujitsu Inverter heat pump combines with under-floor heating in both bathrooms, to provide additional warmth when required. There is low cost, solar water heating. A high-speed data network enables Broadband, TV and telephones to be used throughout the house. There is a TV aerial and a Sky TV dish. The living room is wired for Surround Sound. White tongue and groove, interior doors are fitted with brushed stainless steel handles. Tap ware throughout is German hansgrohe. There are solar tubes in both bathrooms and recessed ceiling lights, with stainless steel rims, throughout the house and under the eaves. In addition to sensor lights, there is plenty of exterior lighting, including cylinder lights.

Subtle tones of warm white, Dulux Sandfly Point have been used throughout the interior and there is a warm grey-green, Pencarrow feature wall in the guest bedroom. Luxaflex duette, Winter Pear blinds are fitted to windows in the front entrance, dining room and kitchen. Natural-toned, stain and fade-resistant carpet, with thick underlay, is fitted in the living room, hallway and bedrooms.
