Trace the old one back, cut the tubing, and use that tubing to supply

I'd want to shut off the water to the house, and try taking apart the
old spigot. perhaps a new faucet washer, and some plumbers grease will
bring the old silcock back to life.

and if you cant install a new water outlet in a easy spot.

just put a cap on the existing one


Is that just drywall at the back of the cabinet? If so and if you can
see how to remove the shelf, there should be enough room to work in.
With the living room approach, I'd consider how to deal with the
painting issue. Unless it's relatively new paint and you have some
or can get some, you'd likely have to paint at least the full wall.
Of course it depends on how noticeable that spot is, etc.

You could try taking the valve apart and taking the parts to a
plumbing supply. But, I've never seen a sill cock that looked like
that. It looks like there are two pipes coming out for it? Maybe
it's an old version of a freeze proof one? Others have suggested
possibly abandoning that one and installing another one in a different
location which could be an option too.
