Standing proudly opposite the sweeping green expanse of Central Park, 139 Faulkner Street is a residence of remarkable character, enduring elegance and exceptional distinction. With origins dating to the 1870s, this beautifully maintained and thoughtfully updated home offers the rare opportunity to own a meaningful piece of Armidale's history, positioned within an easy walk of the CBD, cafés, restaurants, schools and cultural attractions.
Its broad frontage, graceful verandah and intricate decorative detailing speak to another era, while the manicured grounds create a setting of privacy and permanence. Directly across the road, the uninterrupted outlook over Central Park provides a beautiful extension of the home's garden environment and ensures its prized position will remain an enduring part of its appeal.
Beyond the verandah, a generous single-level floorplan unfolds. High ceilings, rich timber joinery, decorative details and original fireplaces preserve the home's historic integrity, while carefully considered improvements allow it to function with ease for contemporary family life.
The formal lounge is one of the home's most memorable spaces. Expansive picture windows draw in abundant northern sunlight and frame the surrounding greenery, creating a room that feels both impressive and welcoming. A handsome gas fireplace provides a natural focal point, while French doors open directly to the garden and outdoor entertaining areas.
At the heart of the residence, the spacious kitchen and dining area has been designed as a warm and inviting place to come together. A large island bench anchors the kitchen, complemented by excellent cabinetry, quality appliances and generous preparation space. With direct access to the verandah, there is an effortless connection between the kitchen, dining room and alfresco areas, a space equally suited to everyday meals, relaxed entertaining and celebrations shared with family and friends.
Four well-proportioned bedrooms provide excellent flexibility. With a newly finished extension, the privately positioned main bedroom is exceptionally spacious, fitted with a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite. Three additional bedrooms retain the charm and scale of the original home, with one currently configured as a study and offering direct access to the front bedroom. These rooms are complemented by a character-filled family bathroom with a separate shower and bidet.
A separate internal laundry provides extensive built-in storage, while the home's solar system, Tesla Powerwall battery and inverter deliver valuable modern efficiency without detracting from its traditional character.
Outside, a substantial pergola and sunlit alfresco area create an exceptional setting for long lunches, garden parties or quiet afternoons outdoors. Paved entertaining spaces flow into established front and rear gardens, featuring mature trees, flowering plants and broad level lawns. Fully fenced and wonderfully private, the grounds offer ample space for children, pets and keen gardeners.
A substantial detached lock-up garage completes the property, providing secure accommodation for one vehicle together with additional storage or workspace.
Few Armidale residences combine history, position and everyday liveability with such confidence. 139 Faulkner Street is a home of genuine presence, one that has evolved with care while retaining the character that makes it truly irreplaceable.
