2/79 Murphy Street

Officially Nelson’s Cheapest House

Your first home doesn’t need to have it all, it just needs to be yours. For buyers ready to swap rent payments for something of their own, Murphy Street is an opportunity to take that first step onto the property ladder.

Open-plan kitchen, dining and living provide a space to entertain. The bedroom includes a built-in double wardrobe and direct bathroom access, while outdoors you’ll find a deck overlooking native bush, two storage sheds and tandem off-street parking for two vehicles.

Town is only five minutes away by car, with coffee and your local fish and chip shop within an easy 10-minute walk. There’s a balance here between being connected and tucked away.

Best of all, there’s no sprawling section competing for your weekends. Murphy Street Reserve is directly across the road, giving you green space to enjoy, walk the dog or simply get outside, without having to maintain it yourself.

First-time investor? This one-bedroom unit offers an affordable entry point, or a simple addition to an existing portfolio. Previously rented and formerly Healthy Homes compliant, it may only require a few updates to meet current standards.

If you’re ready to turn “one day” into day one, this could be the opportunity to get your foot firmly on the property ladder.
