The Entrance to the Heart of the Home
Welcome to this unique home — where the very first step inside brings you straight to its heart. The entrance opens directly into an expansive, beautifully designed kitchen, setting this home apart from the moment you arrive. It’s bold, intentional, and inviting. This is where life gathers, where conversations flow, and where memories are made. In this home, the entrance doesn’t just welcome you in — it introduces you to its heart.
The Sunlit Room
Step into the Sunlit Room, a bright and inviting sitting space designed for relaxation and connection. Whether enjoying a quiet TV moment, reading, or simply taking in the breathtaking panoramic views of Nelson’s most iconic scenery, this room offers a front-row seat to the outdoors. Large windows fill the space with natural light, while the seamless flow directly into a full gazebo extends the living area into nature, creating the perfect spot for morning coffee, evening sunsets, or leisurely gatherings. This room combines comfort, versatility, and unforgettable vistas, making it a true centerpiece of the home.
The Reception Room & Dining Room
Elegance meets comfort in the Fireside Room, a one-of-a-kind sitting space defined by a custom fireplace and exquisite doors that set the stage for modern living. Its generous proportions create a versatile canvas for entertaining, quiet reflection, or intimate gatherings, flowing seamlessly into the adjacent dining area.
The scale and sophistication of this space are even more impressive in person — images can’t capture the warmth, the light, or the sense of possibility that awaits. Imagine evenings by the fire, celebratory dinners, or simply enjoying the refined yet inviting atmosphere. The Fireside Room is a space meant to be experienced, designed for those who appreciate both style and substance.
Main Floor Accesses & Living
Each area is thoughtfully finished, from the welcoming bedroom entrance to the well-appointed bathroom, blending functionality with refined design. While images highlight the layout, the true sense of space, light, and connection is best experienced in person, reflecting a home built for everyday living.
Master Suite & Flex Room
Step into the master suite, a breathtaking sanctuary where space, light, and views come together in perfect harmony. The bedroom itself is a dream — expansive, airy, and drenched in natural light, offering uninterrupted vistas that are nothing short of spectacular.
Adjacent to the bedroom, a versatile flex room with its own fireplace sparks the imagination — envision a serene office, a luxurious dressing boudoir, an indulgent makeup room, or an oversized closet. The master bath complements the suite with refined finishes, blending spa-like elegance with everyday comfort. This suite isn’t just a place to rest; it’s an experience, a private retreat where every detail inspires, and the possibilities are endless.
The Second Upstairs Bathroom
Designed to comfortably serve the additional bedrooms on this level, this bathroom offers both style and practicality for family and guests alike. While separate from the master suite, it carries its own presence — a bright, contemporary space that complements the elegance of the upper floor beautifully.
Beyond the stunning master suite, the upper level continues to impress with four generously sized bedrooms, thoughtfully positioned to offer both privacy and connection. Each room is filled with natural light and designed with comfort in mind, creating inviting spaces for family, guests, or evolving lifestyle needs.
Whether envisioned as children’s rooms, sophisticated guest quarters, creative studios, or dedicated work-from-home offices, these bedrooms offer flexibility without compromising style. This level provides the rare combination of space and functionality — a true extension of the home’s elevated living experience.

Fully finished and impeccably crafted, just about every wall in the home is backed with plywood — a rare feature that speaks to durability, stability, and the kind of solid construction you simply don’t see today.
