Set back on this large block is a delightful family home hidden away in the central north-side suburb of Downer.
The free-flowing design of the kitchen, family and dining rooms exudes warmth and liveability, accentuated by features such as solid wood flooring, a large custom-built bookshelf and a vast Blackbutt timber benchtop. The kitchen also boasts wooden shelving with gentle downlights that offset the brushed-aluminium splashback, pantry and abundant soft-close drawers, generating clean lines and ensuring that there is a place for everything.
This open plan design is complemented by the separate lounge of generous proportions that offers additional living space for more formal entertaining or family living.
The bedrooms are segregated from the family living spaces; all are carpeted, and three of the four bedrooms feature built-in wardrobes and the master bedroom has a lovely outlook onto the sundeck.
The new bathroom is freshly tiled in black and white. An additional WC is located next to the laundry, which provides access to the back garden and discreet clothesline that is positioned for optimum sunshine.
The expansive wooden-deck, made from the hardwood Merbau, measures approximately 40m2, captures the sun from almost every angle, and is finished with beautiful railings and wide steps leading down to the garden which is partially paved.
The secure back garden has many hidden delights, such as a secure storage area perfect for the lawnmower and family bikes, mature cumquat and plum trees and a back gate that leads to the adjoining reserve.
Behind the garage there is also a powered studio that lends itself to many uses, including a kids' room, teenage retreat or music room.
Atherton Street is close to Dickson, Lyneham and Mitchell shopping centres, Exhibition Park in Canberra (EPIC) and the Farmers Markets, as well as Northbourne Avenue transport corridor. Local schools include Daramalan College, Lyneham High School and Brindabella Christian College.
For the active, Dickson Swimming Pool and Playing Fields, Yowani Golf Course, Southwell Park, National Hockey Centre and the soon-to-be-opened Next Gen Health and Lifestyle Club in Lyneham are also nearby.
