Striking in scale and design, 3 Dawson Avenue is one of the most beautiful cottages in Armidale. Combining soaring interiors, quality craftsmanship and beautifully established gardens in Armidale's sought-after Central North.
Arranged across two light-filled levels, the home offers three generous bedrooms, two bathrooms and a collection of versatile living spaces designed for effortless everyday living. At its heart, a dramatic vaulted ceiling rises above the open plan living and dining area. Polished timber floors, high-set windows and an overlooking mezzanine enhance the exceptional sense of space, while a freestanding wood fire creates an inviting focal point. Gas heating and reverse-cycle air conditioning provide comfort throughout the seasons.
The locally crafted kitchen pairs clean contemporary design with excellent functionality. Stone benchtops, Miele appliances, extensive cabinetry and a generous breakfast bar create an impressive workspace.
Beyond, a second living room is wrapped in windows and French doors, drawing in natural light and opening directly to the paved courtyard. With the garden providing a beautiful backdrop, this flexible space is equally suited to relaxed family living, entertaining or use as a sun-filled sitting room. The thoughtfully arranged ground floor includes a substantial main bedroom with extensive built-in storage and a separate dressing room. Positioned nearby, the elegant main bathroom features a freestanding clawfoot bath, walk-in shower and twin vessel basin, all finished in a timeless white palette.
Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms sit beneath the pitched roofline alongside an expansive mezzanine overlooking the living room. Ideal as a study, library or additional sitting area, the mezzanine adds another dimension to the home's flexible floor plan. One bedroom includes built-in robes, while the guest bedroom enjoys a private ensuite with a freestanding bath and separate shower.
Outside, established English-style cottage gardens surround the home with magnolias, roses, daphne, lavender and colourful spring bulbs. Tall hedging creates privacy, while the covered verandah, courtyard and paved entertaining areas offer a choice of inviting places to relax or gather with friends.
Plantation shutters complement the interiors and provide additional insulation, while a back-to-base alarm system offers further peace of mind. Rich in character yet designed for manageable upkeep, the property delivers the atmosphere of an established country home without the maintenance demands often associated with an older residence.
All of this is positioned within easy reach of Armidale's city centre, cafés, schools, parks and everyday amenities.
