11 Wharfe Street, Oamaru, Waitaki, Otago, 9400, New Zealand
Photos don’t do it justice you really must see this fantastic example of early 1900s “Arts and Crafts” architecture perfectly located within an easy stroll of the town facilities and offering panoramic views across the historic precinct, cape, harbour and sea beyond. Tastefully modernised and refurbished throughout but still keeping the character of the era with Rimu features, leadlight windows and added twists of Steam Punk to make it just that more interesting.
A spacious, modernised kitchen blends touches of character, style and class, while the twin Belling ovens, pull out spice rack, induction cooktop, and subway tile splashback enhance the practical side.
The open plan living style encompasses the dining and family area and flows effortlessly out through glass stacker doors making the East facing deck, with stunning views, a continuation of the living area. Accessed through French doors from the dining area, the adjoining separate lounge has an inbuilt log fire with the original character wood and tile surround, and original Rimu open shelving that pay homage to the 1920s character.
The cosy sunroom with its rustic wood feature wall, accesses a sunny outdoor area and the established gardens beyond.
Cleverly converted the under stair storage area is now a quirky toilet with hand basin.
The upper level offers two double bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms that again combine the character of the era and tasteful Steampunk twists. The master suite with bathroom, walk in robe and extra storage areas provides a peaceful sanctuary from busy family life.
An abundance of easily accessed, under house/deck storage, an easy to manage section, and a street line garage complete the package of this grand residence.
