Standing proudly behind its beautifully preserved Federation façade, this c.1930 residence is one of those homes. The elegant front verandah, intricate timber fretwork and coloured leadlight windows create an unforgettable first impression, offering a glimpse of the timeless character that continues throughout the home.

Inside, the home unfolds with a warmth and authenticity that only comes with age. Soaring pressed metal ceilings, original fireplaces, decorative archways and generously proportioned rooms celebrate the craftsmanship of a bygone era, while thoughtful updates ensure the home remains comfortable for contemporary living. As winter settles over Orange, the central living room becomes a natural gathering place, with the gas log fireplace creating a cosy focal point, complemented by electric wall heaters in every bedroom for year-round comfort.

Positioned just two blocks from the heart of Orange, this is a home where convenience becomes part of your everyday lifestyle. Begin the morning with a walk to your favourite café, enjoy dinner at one of Orange’s renowned restaurants, browse boutique stores on a Saturday afternoon or meet friends for a glass of local wine, before returning home to the quiet charm of one of the city’s most tightly held streets.

Beyond the living spaces, the home reveals another welcome surprise. Set on a generous 597sqm parcel, the private backyard is a rare find this close to the CBD. Framed by established trees and mature greenery, it offers plenty of space for children and pets to play, long lunches with family and friends, or simply a peaceful place to unwind with a book in the afternoon sun. It’s a backyard that feels wonderfully secluded, yet you’re only moments from everything Orange has to offer.

Some homes are admired for their character. Others for their location. Very few offer both with such effortless authenticity. At 81 Sale Street, heritage, lifestyle and timeless appeal come together in a way that feels unmistakably Orange.
