Exquisite Victorian Home in Armidale's Historic Heart

Dating from 1892, this remarkable Victorian home has been restored with precision, celebrating its heritage while integrating thoughtful modern touches. Positioned on a 771m² parcel in Armidale’s distinguished central south, the residence sits among other fine period properties and is just a short walk to the CBD, schools, and nearby parks.

Inside, every detail speaks of craftsmanship. Hoop pine ceilings, leadlight windows, and decorative fireplaces give a rich sense of character, complemented by William Morris wallpapers and Axminster carpets. The formal reception rooms are memorable spaces, with the library showcasing full-height mahogany shelving that frames the room beautifully. At the heart of the home, a Danish HTH oak kitchen connects via servery to the stately dining room, creating a warm centrepiece for family life and entertaining alike.

The western red cedar bathroom is equally striking, with marble floors, a cast iron bath, and dual showers underscoring its bespoke design. Outside, the wraparound verandah and vine-covered rear deck provide tranquil outlooks over landscaped grounds, where manicured lawns and a mature Japanese maple take pride of place. A double garage with additional storage and a pebble driveway complete the property.

This is a home of rare distinction, offering timeless architecture within one of Armidale’s most esteemed neighbourhoods.
