238 High St

From its classic front porch, the view has to be Nelson's most iconic. It embraces the West Arm of Kootenay Lake, the Orange Bridge and snow covered mountains beyond. This 4 bedroom 2 bathroom home has charm and warmth that reflects its heritage, but it has also been tastefully renewed to meet 21st century standards. The centrepiece of the main floor is a gorgeous custom kitchen with stainless steel countertops and a large wooden island. The drawers are made with exquisite dovetail joinery. A beautiful Jotul gas fireplace in the living room delivers enough radiant heat to make the entire home feel super cozy. Accessed from the dining room, a covered deck adds outdoor living potential, with stairs to the secluded back yard. The house has been extensively insulated, with new windows, new roof, new wiring and plumbing, and Hardieplank siding. In 2021 a walk-out one bedroom legal suite was installed in the basement. The small footprint apartment enjoys lots of natural light, cork floors, another Jotul gas fireplace and a tub in the bathroom. The unfinished part of the basement is used for a shared laundry and for storage. A separate shed provides additional storage for bikes and gardening. Two off-street parking spaces are available, but the location is great for those who prefer to n walk out bike around town. The property is equal walking or biking distance to Nelson's historic downtown, the mall, and Lakeside Park. (id:54626)
