Overview
Set on a generous 922sqm parcel in the sought-after inner north suburb of Downer, this enduringly elegant house combines classic charm with thoughtful modern upgrades to deliver a highly functional and comfortable family home. Meticulously cared for over more than two decades, the property boasts a durable build and a layout that prioritizes both everyday living and entertaining needs.
The heart of the home features spacious living and dining areas that invite natural light and foster connection, enhanced by a slow-combustion fireplace that adds warmth and ambiance during Canberra’s cooler months. Complementing this is a fully renovated kitchen equipped with premium Electrolux appliances, including an induction cooktop and self-cleaning oven, tailored for practical use and contemporary style.
Comfort is a defining attribute of the residence, with full double glazing and ducted reverse-cycle heating and cooling systems ensuring year-round efficiency and coziness, supporting low running costs. The master suite provides a private retreat with a renovated ensuite, built-in wardrobes, and a seating area, while the additional bedrooms are generously sized and also feature built-in storage, accommodating families or home office options with ease.
The main bathroom is thoughtfully upgraded with floor-to-ceiling tiles and a full-size bathtub, complementing the home's classic yet modern aesthetic. Functional laundry space with external access adds to the practicality of the layout.
Outdoors, established gardens with mature trees create a private, shaded environment that supports a natural microclimate. Multiple outdoor entertaining areas, including a fire pit and a cubby house, cater to family gatherings and children's play, while the expansive backyard offers ample space for pets and recreation. The oversized single garage provides ample storage beyond parking, suitable for hobbies or equipment.
Located within walking distance to local cafes, schools, and parks, and minutes from the vibrant Dickson precinct, this property offers the best of a peaceful neighbourhood with convenient access to Canberra’s amenities. Its substantial landholding is increasingly rare in the area, presenting future potential for redevelopment or subdivision subject to approvals.
This home is ideal for families seeking a blend of space, comfort, and location with enduring quality and lifestyle appeal.
