69 Davies Drive is an architecturally designed three-bedroom home of approximately 217sqm, thoughtfully positioned on a 1,344sqm section to make the most of its elevated setting.
The defining feature is undoubtedly the extraordinary outlook. Expansive views sweep across Tasman Bay towards the Western Ranges, creating an ever-changing backdrop that connects the home with its natural surroundings, while remaining remarkably close to Nelson city. Rather than compete with this outlook, the architecture celebrates it. Generous expanses of glass, clean lines and understated detailing allow the landscape to take centre stage.
Inside, the home offers a flexibility that is increasingly valuable. Spaces can adapt to changing needs and family configurations, while the unusually generous corridors have effectively become additional living spaces, creating natural nooks for reading, playing the piano or simply pausing to enjoy the outlook. All three bedrooms are located on the lower level, offering the benefit of cooler conditions during summer. The configuration also provides potential for greater separation for guests or extended family, or possibly a future self-contained living arrangement, subject to any necessary approvals.
The relationship with the outdoors is one of the home's defining strengths. Large ranch sliders connect the open-plan kitchen, dining and living area directly with the front deck, extending the living space into a generous setting for entertaining, dining and relaxing. Multiple outdoor areas offer options for barbecuing, enjoying the shade or potentially incorporating a spa. The layout reflects the vendors' enjoyment of outdoor living and makes the most of the home's natural setting.
The primary ensuite is another example of the home's thoughtful design, with a bath positioned beside windows that open directly towards the garden. Surrounded by greenery, the experience feels less like a conventional bathroom and more like bathing in the bush.
Despite its strong lifestyle appeal, the home is also exceptionally practical. Access is straightforward, with convenient entry and off-street parking for additional vehicles. A substantial double garage incorporates a workshop bench, excellent internal storage and lower-level windows that bring the outlook into even the most practical of spaces. A separate shed provides further room for outdoor equipment, bikes and other lifestyle essentials.
The home incorporates a range of considered sustainability and technology features, including wiring for solar, a 5,000-litre rainwater collection system for garden use, a fast EV charging point and smart wiring. Quality materials and finishes, including pressed bamboo flooring and SMEG appliances, further reflect the care taken throughout the property.
Location is another significant strength. Positioned at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in a welcoming neighbourhood surrounded by quality homes, the property offers a sense of privacy while remaining remarkably close to Nelson's city centre. Walking and cycling connections make it possible to leave the car at home for many everyday activities, while convenient access to town makes commuting and enjoying Nelson's amenities refreshingly easy.

The property also has an established track record of short-term accommodation, having achieved rates of $700 or more per night during peak periods. This offers an additional option for purchasers looking to combine personal use with potential accommodation income, while the low-maintenance grounds and practical design lend themselves to an easy lock-and-leave lifestyle.
The property has previously been subject to disclosure relating to the August 2022 weather event. Remedial works have subsequently been undertaken, including improvements to retaining walls and stormwater drainage. No further issues have been reported since those works were completed.
