A divine character residence in a popular South hill location, on the open market for the first time in over 40 years. This gracious home offers plenty of living space with a snug/breakfast room off the kitchen, dining room, 2 large adjacent living rooms and an office. One living area opens out through french doors onto a pleasant outdoor patio, positioned nicely to make the most of the afternoon sun. Beautiful outlook over the town and ocean from each of the living areas and kitchen. Delightfully decorated throughout, with warm Oak timber paneling and William Morris wallpaper. Jewel like in detail with it's stained lead glass window and door accents. There's potential to operate a stylish B&B from this home, with the space to consider converting an area into a second bathroom. The layout is such that one of the lounges in this stately residence could be utilised as a fourth bedroom should that suit your requirements. The home sits on a small easy care section facing North to capture the sun. There are 3 heat pumps to complement the 2 feature open fire places, plus a wood burner in the kitchen. An exceptional opportunity to own one of Oamaru's hidden gems. Viewing by appointment, contact Alan or Kelli to view.
