51 Upper Ure Street, Oamaru, Waitaki, Otago

If you’ve been hoping to find a character villa with a full section and the coast just down the hill, this one may feel like it was waiting for you. At 51 Upper Ure Street in Oamaru, the home unfolds across 160m², with generous rooms, high ceilings and craftsmanship that gives the whole place a lasting sense of substance. The lounge centres around a classic fireplace, framed by built-in shelving and wide windows that draw in the light. Just along the hall, the kitchen and dining room create a warm gathering place, with long benches, plenty of cabinetry and a built-in dining nook that feels made for lingering breakfasts or family dinners. A bright sunroom , the kind of spot where you’ll naturally end up with a coffee, a book, or simply watching the afternoon light move across the garden. Three bedrooms provide comfortable retreats, each with the proportions and character you’d expect in a home like this. A refreshed bathroom includes both bath and shower, while a separate toilet, dedicated laundry and additional storage keep daily routines running smoothly. Step outside and the scale of the section becomes clear. The 1012m² backyard stretches out with lawn, mature trees and plenty of room to shape over time - gardens, fruit trees, a trampoline, or simply space to enjoy. There is a single detached garage, and the elevated front lawn and brick entry give the home a welcoming street presence. This is a home where you can add your own mark by upgrading some of the features. From here, it’s an easy run into central Oamaru, whether you’re heading to the shops, the cafés and galleries in the historic Harbour area, or a walk by the sea. Located in the Fenwick School zone.
