5 Armstrong Street offers a unique blend of traditional Federation-inspired architecture and modern family living, set amidst a scenic semi-bushland environment in Murrumbateman. The substantial 516sqm residence primarily features durable double brick construction enveloped by inviting rural verandahs. High ceilings and beautifully reclaimed sawtooth T&G Blackbutt timber floors, sourced from historic buildings in NSW and Victoria, imbue the home with natural warmth and character that harmoniously integrates with the surrounding landscape.

Outdoor living is prioritized with a substantial 140sqm Cooldek insulated entertaining deck made from recycled Blackbutt and Red Gum timbers, providing an exceptional area for gatherings that seamlessly connects indoor spaces with the natural environment. The 1.62 hectares (approximately 4 acres) of land gently rise from a level entrance, featuring a dam surrounded by lily-covered water and scenic pathways that foster tranquil wildlife observation and leisure. The zoning allows dual occupancy, offering the flexibility for an additional dwelling on the property.

Practical amenities include a 6x6m Colorbond double garage barn with an attached 6x3m office/recreation annex, and a 25x7m carport and utility shed cluster near the house for extra storage and parking.
