149 Faulkner Street, Armidale, NSW 2350

Built between 1873 and 1890 by George Pitkin, this charming property boasts a rich history. Located just 500 metres from the CBD, the home offers a convenient city lifestyle with a country cottage feel. 

The original section of the home has been carefully preserved and now offers four bedrooms.  Two traditional front rooms were added in the later years and feature a formal living area with French doors, bay window, and open fireplace, all complemented by wide cypress pine floorboards. The library / dining room also showcases a bay window at the front and includes fitted shelving and a fireplace.

The home contains two updated bathrooms. The first bathroom features a shower, toilet, pedestal basin, and an open fireplace, while the second bathroom offers an original clawfoot tub, shower, vanity, and toilet. The open plan kitchen is equipped with a stainless steel gas cooker, butler sink, fitted cabinets, and a spacious pantry cupboard.

A sun-drenched family area, basking in northern light, features a dining space graced by full-height sash windows. Behind a cleverly positioned gallery wall, an original room has been reborn as a large art studio/home office, complete with a fireplace. 

The private guest wing enchants with two bedrooms and a sitting area, also featuring an inviting open fireplace. A European-style laundry nestled in the rear enclosed verandah caters to domestic needs, while a reverse cycle air conditioning unit ensures comfort throughout the seasons.

The property includes two original work sheds, a chicken pen, fenced vegetable garden and orchard and compost bins. A grapevine-covered pergola, rain water tanks, and delightful cottage gardens surround a beautiful pond with feature fountain.

Additional features include wisteria and grapevine covered pergolas, stone walls, espaliers of fruit trees, a gas hot water system, and solar panels, weaving a seamless blend of 19th-century allure with thoughtful renovations for contemporary family living. The property is further enhanced with a single carport and a secure, fenced yard.
