5 Armstrong Street, Murrumbateman NSW 2582

5 Armstrong Street, Murrumbateman, is an interplay of visual and tactile experiences.

It's a spellbinding property, equipped with a bygone era-inspired set of aesthetics.

Themed on the rural Federation period the massive 516m2 home is mostly constructed of double brick, wrapped in sheltering rural verandahs, capped with high ceilings and floored with sawtooth T&G Blackbutt timbers, reclaimed from historic and industrial buildings across NSW & VIC.

One vital in-situ consideration was to ensure the home's natural material appeal reflected the need to seamlessly integrate with its semi-bushland setting. The home and block bond in visual unison.

But, at its heart, 5 Armstrong is a large family home with a strong array of purposed modern features.

The home is equipped with 6 large bedrooms, including a fully segregated spacious master suite with dual access to the entertainment and garden decks, brand new ensuite and its own wood heater.

Four of the secondary bedrooms share a segregated wing of the home, with the newly upgraded family/guests' bathroom. The larger of these has its own wood heater and independent access to the verandah, making it perfect for an extended family grandparent's/teens bedroom, or an Airbnb income earner.

The close-to-kitchen 6th bedroom could be used as a segregated dining room, family room, home office or theatre room.

Recently upgraded, the kitchen was designed around efficient workflow and stunning good looks.

Along with the enormous volume of storage across the soft close cabinetry and Wi pantry, its features include ash grey 40mm stone bench tops, a country themed Boston sink and a list of appliances that includes a fabulous Falcon Elan 110cm dual-fuel range cooker.

At the home's centre is a beautiful dual-aspect lounge and dining room with a sensational Cheminees Philippe Radiante fireplace fixed squarely in the middle room. Yes, the mood-setting mix of high ceilings and saw-cut polished floorboards is purely evocative.

A massive 140m2 entertaining deck was fitted to the home using rough sawn recycled Blackbutt and Red Gum timbers and covered by a Stratco Cooldeck insulated roof. This amazing space visually harmonises the linkage between the home's reflective inside and outside spaces.

5 Armstrong's 4 acre block contours up from being level at the entry, past the Lilly covered frog-hollow dam, then mildly rising past the trees to the home. It's a wonderland of pathways and bird land entertaining spots. There's plenty of suitable spaces to place a 2nd dwelling on the block too.

The property has a lower block section double garage barn shed, with an attached and very handy fully enclosed recreation annex that would be an ideal home gym space, plus an upper block carport/utility shed cluster adjacent to the home for parking and storage.

A bore, and the dam supply the property with plenty of paddock and garden water.

Essentially, if you're looking for a home with a unique set of qualities and experiences, 5 Armstrong Street, Murrumbateman is for you.
