“Loloma is undoubtedly one of Armidale’s finest residences in a city renowned for much of its 19th century architecture. Built in 1882, the home retains many late Victorian features including iron lacework, multiple fire places, marble mantles, cedar joinery, polished floorboards and so on. Renovated to the highest standards, the home presents in absolutely pristine condition.

Situated just two blocks from the Post Office and only 100 metres from Central Park and the Cathedrals, it offers a wonderfully convenient and very private location. TAS and O’Connor High School are both within easy walking distance as is St Mary’s and the Central Primary school.

Loloma comprises nearly 3/4 of an acre of established gardens with many resort style facilities including a salt water swimming pool, summer house with a chef’s kitchen, ornamental rose garden and a full size north-south tennis court.

The home offers an abundance of accommodation. A delightful French influenced main kitchen and family room with Carrara marble bench tops and custom joinery is a major feature. There are four main bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom and the master even has a private kitchen. A fifth bedroom accesses another, separate bathroom. A library and TV room could alternatively be used as two private studies, both offering a superb northern aspect.

Climate control is assured with ducted, gas central heating and air-conditioning systems, along with both under carpet and under tile heating.

Additionally, there are beautiful drawing and dining rooms, an impressive vaulted conservatory complete with slate flooring, a mud room and an attached three car carport. The property also features extensive brick paving, an automated irrigation system, comprehensive kitchen garden, a freestanding studio and an additional garage.

There is no doubt that Loloma offers an unsurpassed lifestyle opportunity. There are many reasons to consider moving to Armidale from a Capital City. Saving $3M or so on a magnificent historic home is just one of them!

The property will be auctioned on site at 12.00 noon on 21 May 2016, if not sold beforehand. The vendors have a development project ready to go and so will meet the market on this sale.
