42 Forth Street, Oamaru, Waitaki, Otago

Set where Forth Street gently bends uphill, this elevated 726m² section overlooks the town below as the sea glints in the distance as an ever-present reminder to flow at a steadier pace. This two-storeyed, four-bedroom home offers 145m² of floor space that naturally lends itself to large, blended households.

Inside, living unfolds in one connected sweep. A wood burner and heat pump work together to keep the ambiance comfortable, no matter the weather outside. The lounge features generous windows that draw in daylight and frame ever-changing views. The dining zone sits naturally alongside, opening through sliders to the balcony outside offering elevated views of the neighbourhood. The kitchen keeps it simple, with timber benchtops that match the flooring, softening its practical layout.

downstairs, one bedroom offers the flexibility to function as a more independent retreat or quiet work zone, while the remaining three are thoughtfully positioned upstairs, providing options for the master bedroom and rooms to accommodate children of all ages, extended family, or overnight guests. A tidy bathroom with a shower and bath sits alongside a separate WC, and a dedicated laundry with exterior access ensure everyday tasks carry on without intruding on daily routines.

Outdoors, the section steps gently upward into terraced lawn and planting zones, creating pockets to garden, relax, or tinker. A neat front lawn softens the home’s street presence, while off-street parking for two vehicles keeps arrivals uncomplicated.

From here, SH 1 is within easy reach for commuting or weekend drives. Glen Warren Reserve’s walking tracks and green expanses are close by, while Oamaru Beach is just a short drive when the tide calls. Schools, shops, and town centre amenities remain comfortably accessible.
