A Nelson Heritage Home With a Story to Continue
Original craftsmanship, thoughtfully considered improvements and established gardens come together in a home deeply connected to its neighbourhood.
A lasting part of Nelson's story.
Set on a generous triple-sized corner lot in Uphill Nelson, 502 Houston Street has a presence that feels both distinctive and welcoming.
Listed on the Nelson Heritage Register, the home reflects the craftsmanship of another era through original wood detailing, built-ins and hardwood flooring. A covered front porch offers a fitting introduction to interiors full of warmth and personality.
During the current ownership, thoughtful improvements have brought new comfort and convenience while respecting the qualities that make this home special.
Heritage character, lived in beautifully.
Wood-panelled walls, original built-ins and hardwood floors create a distinctive backdrop for daily life. Natural light moves through the generous main living spaces, including the inviting dining room.
Three bedrooms upstairs offer flexibility for rest, work or guests, connected by an open landing. The home also features an updated upper-level bathroom.
Thoughtfully preserved.
Beautifully renewed.
The sellers have invested in practical improvements that complement the home's heritage appeal — balancing original character with spaces designed for everyday life.
A renewed heart of the home.
A substantial kitchen renovation in 2023 introduced improved function and a fresh look that remains in keeping with the home's character. A new mudroom adjoining the kitchen offers a practical link between indoor and outdoor spaces.
The main-floor bathroom has also been updated, with laundry relocated to the main level for everyday convenience.
