19 Wharfe Street, Oamaru, Waitaki, Otago

Set on a 1012m² section on Oamaru’s South Hill, this substantial five-bedroom, two-bathroom Villa gives you the character you hoped for, the scale you need, and the kind of flexibility that is getting harder to find, with 250m² of floor area and room to genuinely spread out. A generous lounge with timber floors, tall ceilings, leadlight detail and an ornate fireplace sets the tone, while the kitchen and dining area opens up as the everyday heart of the home, with a large island bench, excellent pantry storage and wide windows that attract the sun and views. It is easy to picture breakfast in the bay window, watching the everchanging sea visas. Accommodation is well balanced for family life, guests, or working from home. Five bedrooms sit on the main level, including several particularly generous rooms with original fireplaces and period detailing, with an office and second bathroom downstairs. Upstairs, the main bathroom includes both a bath and separate shower, with a separate WC. Downstairs there is a huge utility zone incorporating laundry, workshop areas, storage and a huge garage that will speak directly to anyone who likes having room for projects, bikes, tools or extra gear. Outside, the appeal continues in a way that feels increasingly rare this close to town and the Oamaru Harbour, Heritage Precinct and within the Fenwick school zone. The broad wraparound verandah gives you a sheltered perch for the morning sun or an evening catch-up, while the lawn, established planting, mature tree and long driveway make the section feel usable rather than just decorative. With four car parks and plenty of off-street room, it handles busy households with ease. Extensive, quality renovations have been done, including wifi operated central heating, HRV, double glazing, fully insulated and radiators in every room ensuring efficient year round comfort.
