Affordable living just minutes from downtown Nelson! Tucked beside the calming sounds of Cottonwood Creek, this cute and tidy home offers a cozy lifestyle with thoughtful updates and low holding costs. The combined kitchen and living space creates a warm, open, and inviting atmosphere with cozy wood paneling and comfortable everyday living. Over the past couple of years the home has seen several key improvements including an updated bathroom and laundry, upgraded electrical service to 200 amps, and the addition of a functional upstairs attic space. The patio area is perfect for relaxing in the sunshine while the gazebo provides shade on hot summer days. The fully fenced yard was recently added and is ideal for kids, pets, or simply enjoying your own private outdoor space.  The garden shed and crawlspace offer plenty of storage options to suit your lifestyle. A durable standing seam Nordic metal roof was installed just a few years ago, adding both style and long-term value. The property also offers several off-street parking spaces and convenient access to nearby public transit. Located just past the Hitching Post on the way to Whitewater Ski Resort, this property offers an easy e-bike commute to downtown Nelson while still enjoying a peaceful creekside setting. The home is serviced by city water and sewer, and the affordable carrying costs make this a solid, low-maintenance opportunity in today’s market.
