There's something lovely about a home where the garden is just as inviting as the indoors. At 8 Glendale Crescent, this three-bedroom Oamaru home offers that balance, with a 100m² floor plan, a leafy 779m² section and a separate studio for a little extra flexibility. It's a place where you can settle in, spread out and enjoy life at your own pace.

Inside, the living room has a relaxed, homely feel, with generous windows, carpeting and a fireplace for cooler evenings. An arched opening connects through to the dining room, where sliding doors lead straight onto the deck. The adjoining kitchen brings plenty of cabinetry and bench space keeping everyday meals and conversation connected.

Three well size carpeted bedrooms all with generous wardrobes sit along the hallway, each enjoying natural light and a comfortable sense of privacy. The family bathroom includes a shower over the bath, vanity and toilet, while the separate laundry provides additional storage and access to a small patio. Hallway storage and a wall-mounted heat pump are thoughtful extras that make daily life a little easier.

Outside, the gardens give this property its own personality. Sweeping lawns, mature trees, established shrubs and colourful planting create inviting pockets to explore, while the sheltered deck is ready for relaxed outdoor dining. A separate studio with garden access offers possibilities for hobbies, creative pursuits or a quiet retreat. There's also a detached single garage, additional off-street parking and a pergola-framed paved area.

Set in Oamaru's Holmes Hill neighbourhood, you're within easy reach of Fenwick School, Holmes Kindergarten and the South Hill shops, with central Oamaru, the Victorian Precinct and Oamaru Gardens a short drive away. For those who appreciate an established garden and a home with a little more to offer, this one deserves a look. Get in touch with Kirsten Ewing to arrange your viewing.
