Just a heart beat away from Oamaru's historic precinct and harbour this elevated bungalow is a real charmer. Good looking from the outside with its brick and plaster exterior further enhanced by decorative arches over windows and doors its interior is equally appealing. Timber floors, doors and a hallway arch are an introduction to a home traditionalists will love. To the left is the lounge with polished timber floors, log fire and dining and sitting areas from which to enjoy uninterrupted harbour views. The adjacent bedroom has a striking stone fire place and tiled hearth while the original bay window frames those same mesmerising views. Across the hall are two double bedrooms, their west windows overlooking the rear garden with raised vegetable beds, productive orchard and sheltered patio. The 3 bedrooms and the charming timber and tiled bathroom at the hall's end are warmed by a centrally located heat pump. The character filled kitchen has an almost French feel, its timber floor, open pantries and wooden plate rack forming an attractive addition to the rimu floors.
To the east of this very special property, Oamaru's sheltered harbour and its environs provide the setting for an ever changing canvas. Watch fishing boats returning to port, yachts bobbing at their moorings and early morning rowers working out within the harbour confines while in the foreground King George Park becomes a winter venue for young soccer players and a summer one for cricket devotees. This sale by deadline is a rare invitation for new owners to take up residence in the heart of historic Oamaru, to enjoy the changing seasons and unparalleled sea and harbour views and if they wish play a part in the town's tourist-oriented future.
