144 Handel Street, Armidale NSW 2350

Co-existing in harmony with its natural wonderland setting, this single level sanctuary is a celebration of privacy, sustainable living and passive solar design. Tucked away on a half-acre block, it blends old with new in a federation-style, double brick home with traditional and modern touches.

Carefully designed and meticulously built for the Armidale climate, the house has polished concrete floors with in-slab geothermal heating, LED lighting, quality insulation and 3kW of solar power to ensure a cost-effective and environmentally friendly lifestyle. The beautifully detailed woodwork adds warmth to the interiors, with picture rails and transom windows throughout, while 3m ceilings optimise the sense of light and space.

Bask in the sunshine that cascades through the full height windows in the living room, perfectly framing the tranquil native garden and its resident birdlife, or enjoy the kitchen adorned with Tasmanian oak, Tallowwood and Claret Ash cabinetry. There are six bedrooms, including a generously sized master with ensuite and an adjacent study, nursery or dressing room – the choice is all yours!

Delight in the different alfresco zones in the native gardens, which include vegetable beds, greenhouse, shrubbery and lawns, with a shaded seating area the perfect place to sit and soak up the ever-present peace and privacy.

Located on the outskirts of Armidale, with access to The Triangle walking track and opposite the University of New England, the home is close to shops and restaurants, bike paths and public transport to enable a lifestyle of semi-rural serenity. See for yourself the stunning build, joinery, fittings and design that combine in this high-quality home. Arrange your inspection with Lachie Sewell today.
