The Bones Are Here. The Vision Is Yours

Auction Location: Onsite - 4 Cowan Street, Downer
Set on a beautiful, tree-lined street in one of Downer's most tightly held pockets, this home presents an outstanding opportunity to create something truly special.
Offered to the market for the very first time, this one-owner residence has been thoughtfully extended over the years to accommodate a growing family. Today, it offers the perfect foundation for its next chapter. Whether you're looking to renovate and create your dream family home or explore the possibilities of a substantial 1,153m� block (subject to ACT planning approvals), the potential here is undeniable.
The existing home provides generous proportions throughout, with five bedrooms, two bathrooms and a double garage. At its heart is a spacious living room that has long been the place where family and friends gathered to enjoy one another's company and create lasting memories. The enclosed fireplace remains a beautiful character feature, reflecting the home's history, while the room itself offers endless inspiration for a contemporary renovation.
One of the home's most charming features is its original timber flooring, bringing warmth and character that will undoubtedly inspire any renovation. Large windows frame leafy garden outlooks from almost every room, filling the home with natural light and creating a wonderful connection to the established surrounds.
A private central courtyard links both wings of the home, providing a peaceful outdoor space while enhancing the functionality of the floor plan. Every bedroom is generously proportioned, and the thoughtfully designed floor plan comfortably accommodates family living.
Set on an impressive 1,153m� flat block, the opportunity extends well beyond the home itself. It's easy to imagine extending the existing residence, creating expansive outdoor entertaining areas, adding a pool, or designing the forever home you've always envisioned (subject to ACT planning approvals). With so much usable land to work with, this is a property that invites you to dream big and create something truly special.
For buyers looking to upsize into one of Canberra's most sought-after Inner North suburbs, this is an exciting chance to secure a home with incredible future value ready for its next chapter.
Location only enhances the appeal. Nestled in the heart of Downer, the home enjoys one of the suburb's most beautiful leafy streets, where mature trees create a stunning canopy and provide welcome shade throughout summer. Just a short stroll away is Downer Oval, home to the ever-popular Gang Gang Caf� and expansive open green spaces perfect for relaxing, exercising or spending time with family. You're also only moments from the vibrant Dickson shopping and dining precinct, excellent schools, public transport including the light rail, and Canberra's CBD, making this an exceptional lifestyle opportunity in one of Canberra's most desirable Inner North suburbs.
