This magnificent Gothic styled building commenced construction in 1919 using G F Nott Builders and was completed the following year for the Catholic Church. Executed in Liver brick with cream brick and stone dressings, it was always purposed to be an Armidale landmark.
Today, St Patrick’s comprises 5 luxurious apartments of which No 2 Grandview is the most substantial and spectacular. The residence occupies the entire centre section of the property, spanning 2 floors and includes a large loft space. The sheer grandeur and quality of the home can only be fully appreciated on inspection. The 1.3 hectares of lawns and gardens including a tennis court are very impressive and only add to this truly unique residential opportunity.
Make no mistake, Grandview is unquestionably Armidale’s finest apartment.
The apartment combines traditional architecture with modern convenience. The Cedar joinery is complemented by the high ceilings and ornate features. The ground floor offers a beautiful front entrance vestibule that provides direct access to 2 magnificent reception spaces, currently a dining room and a lounge room with an open fire. A smaller sitting room is adjacent which leads on to the family room with open fire and well-designed kitchen. A rear entrance foyer provides access to the private courtyard.
A superb cedar staircase leads up to an impressive hallway and the extensive bedroom accommodation. The master bedroom is of baronial proportions and includes a dressing room and full en-suite. This, and another 2 bedrooms have direct access to the main balcony which offers some of the most expansive views over Armidale. There are another 2 bedrooms, a family bathroom and store on this level.
The fully landscape grounds include a carport for 2 vehicles. A separate building has been constructed to provide segregated storage for the convenience of each of the 5 units.
Grandview offers some lucky purchaser the opportunity to live in a glorious apartment within an Armidale landmark building. Certainly a property for the discerning buyer.
