Overview

Historical Gem

A majestic early Oamaru Forrester and Lemon manor built in 1898, which retains much of its historic grandeur and charm to this day. Beautifully crafted from Oamaru Stone, this freehold property sits on approximately a quarter acre of land in a desirable elevated Wansbeck Street location, a short distance from the historic precinct and town. The home's history indicates that it was a rare early Victorian duplex development built for famed local businessman John Bulleid. There is a beautiful outlook over the town and ocean from most rooms. Large living room with original pressed tin ceiling, a cosy inbuilt Firenzo fireplace and attached sunny conservatory expanding this space, ideal for hobbies or to work from home. Separate dining room with gas insert fire and with Oamaru Stone surround. Vented gas central heating is also available if ever required. Large country kitchen adorned with a large central island, 6-burner gas hob oven and great storage. Chandeliers grace most of the rooms, with the stairwell housing the largest and most impressive. There are 2 bathrooms, one with accessible wet floor shower on the lower floor, and one with spa bath and shower on the upper level. 4 bedrooms, one of those in the original maids wing. The master bedroom includes an attached dressing room which has been used as a nursery. The home contains outstanding restored character features, and outside there are beautiful feature trees, wrought iron rails and stone garden walls enhancing the setting. A modern double garage with power includes a large studio/workshop space. There's also off street parking. This is an exciting opportunity for those that desire a grand historical character home in a South Hill position. Viewing by appointment only. Call Kelli to make an appointment, 021 629 718.
