As you approach this magnificent grand dame, 'Birida', you might for a split second imagine that its 1904 and you're about to enter its turreted portico as the owner of this palatial estate. Constructed from Armidale blue brick and sized to reflect its elite status, Birida is without doubt one of the most iconic Federation homesteads left in the district – and this is your chance to own a part of it. Entering Apartment 2, you are instantly embraced by the natural light that streams into the interiors, something you will benefit from all year round thanks to large casement windows and the apartment's northeast corner orientation and elevated position. You'll adore the outlook across the district from your kitchen and sitting area, especially on cooler days when you are able to soak in the sun that shines through the window as you enjoy a cuppa. Stepping through French doors into the expansive main accommodation, soaring frieze framed pressed metal ceilings with intricate paintwork give you a sense of the grandeur this room once represented, and the grace that still exists within it. Picture rails, deep stepped skirtings and the gorgeous mantle that now houses a reverse cycle air conditioner, all enhance the apartment's authentic heritage style, while polished timber floors are warming against the crispness of the white walls. A brand-new bathroom is an absolute delight and adds a hint of modern luxury without taking away from the apartment's overall heritage style. Boasting a very generous 84sqm and surrounded by beautifully manicured shared gardens, this is truly one of the most beautiful apartments you'll ever have the privilege to behold. Supremely central, you will relish being a 5-minute walk to Armidale CBD, a 2-minute walk to restaurants, a 2-minute drive to New England Regional Art Museum and having parks and public transport on hand too.
