Park the car and walk to everywhere!

This classic privately built three-bedroom home sits on a large corner block, overlooks Dickson Playing Fields and is surrounded by newly landscaped gardens. Big casement windows make the most of the green enclosure, welcoming light and forging a continuous connection to nature. Sensitive updates seamlessly blend the old with the new, delivering a spacious contemporary kitchen, solar panels and huge timber deck.

Step inside to the open plan living and dining area that is bathed in an abundance of natural light. Timber floors flow underfoot and art-deco light fittings add an elegant touch of glass and chrome. The contemporary kitchen occupies the northern end and provides ample storage and bench space. There are all electric appliances including a dishwasher from Bosch and direct access to the back garden and deck, this is the perfect place for alfresco dining and entertaining beneath the shady sails.

All three bedrooms frame leafy views via the large windows and centre around a family bathroom with a separate toilet. The bathroom is finished in timeless black and white and features a bathtub. The separate toilet is finished in the same scheme with both spaces serving up dynamic pops of vibrant red.

Downer is famed for its leafy streets and much loved local shops, home to the popular Gang Gang café - one of the few intimate venues remaining, showcasing celebrated and innovative musicians and hosting sociable trivia nights and fab flea markets. The Dickson precinct is a short stroll away for essential services, shopping and international cuisine. And the area is rich in parklands with Downer playing fields, Melba Street Park, Downer Micro-Forest and the walking trails of Mt Majura and Mt Ainslie, all close to hand. The home is walking distance to schools, including the Catholic University and transport, notably the light rail, whisking you straight to the CBD.
