#soldbyholly $980,000

The modernist bones of this gorgeous semi-detached home are celebrated with a paired-back, gentle aesthetic that allows light and landscape to take centre stage. Signature casement windows frame the colours of the garden and welcome a delight of natural light that paints the new timber floors golden. Meticulously renovated in recent years, the home welcomes with its gentle pallet of organic tones, warm textural notes and elegant patterning.

We love the white expanse of the classic ex-govie windows, set against the iconic brick form, the simply raked terracotta roof and sweet front patio. Timber panelling in iron grey pops against the red brick and the crisp white detailing. The deep front gardens dotted with deciduous trees, towering age-old oak. There is a private driveway off to one side, ushering to gated parking within the enormous back yard.

Step inside the front door, hooks are placed for hanging coats and woollies. The front living area is wonderfully bright with floor up casement windows floating the garden within. A convivial open flow connects this generous space to the dining area and the galley style kitchen. Glass sliders spill to the endless back garden, forging a wonderful connection to outdoors.

The kitchen has been precisely renovated with cooking in mind - ample stone worktops waterfall gracefully to the floor and endless cabinetry in calming Hampton's Blue provides a spot for everything. Clever additional cupboards above, introduce a pop of warm timber, coalescing with the cute brass, button handles. The appliances are new, sleek matt black and include an electric wall oven, induction cooktop and integrated rangehood and dishwasher. A recessed porcelain sink sits neatly beneath the large window, so you can watch the kids at play on the stretch of flat lawn beneath the trees.

Three sunny bedrooms sit off a central hallway, including the master with its wall of mirrored robes for seamless storage. Here large windows capture the changing moods and colours of the gardens as the seasons change. There is a nearby separate toilet and a sumptuous family bathroom both with tessellated floor tiling in soft grey and white. The bathroom delivers a floating bathtub and a frameless glass rain shower. The timber vanity adds a touch of warmth, topped with the delight of an avocado green counter basin. It is worth noting that the internal laundry, situated just off the kitchen and opening directly onto the back garden, is also lovingly renovated, delivering concordant mosaic floor tiling in gorgeous teal blue.

Downer is famed for its leafy streets and much loved local shops, home to the popular Gang Gang caf - one of the few intimate venues remaining, showcasing celebrated and innovative musicians and hosting sociable trivia nights and fab flea markets. Explore the boutique shops of Braddon, grabbing some sourdough from Sonoma or perhaps a night out, at one of the many restaurants and bars. The Dickson precinct is moments 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 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.
