16 Gardiner Street

Downer ACT 2602

A third leadlight door leads to the bedrooms. The master bedroom, which has also been extended, has a wall of built-in robes and an inviting study nook, bathed in light from corner windows. The ensuite bathroom has undergone a quality update in recent years. The main bathroom has also been fully renovated with full height tiling and has a bath, shower and w/c. Bedroom two is particularly large and has two windows, furnished with quality drapes, which frame a private outlook over the front garden.
From the dining room, steps lead down to a sunroom and onto a large, paved entertaining area at the rear, all surrounded by the attractive, private rear garden. Facing north, this can be enjoyed all year round and provides plenty of space for outdoor settings or for young children to play, safely enclosed by high side gates. Car accommodation is provided in a carport and garage, which has been insulated. A garden shed is tucked away behind the garage.
From this central, quiet location, it is a short walk to coffee, restaurants and all other attractions of the Dickson hub, as well as parks, ovals and recreation facilities, including the wonderful Dickson swimming pool. The Next Gen sports club at the Lyneham Tennis Centre and Yowani Golf Club are also close by. The much anticipated refurbishment of nearby Downer shops is nearly complete and will be a great meeting place for locals to enjoy a coffee, while overlooking the playing fields, which are surrounded by magnificent old pine trees.
Being 'in area' for a selection of well-regarded schools, from the local Cotton Street preschool, to nearby primary, high and colleges, this is a perfect location for any family. The ANU, University of Canberra and the Catholic University in Watson are all also within easy reach. There are great bike paths into the City Centre and ANU. A huge additional benefit will also be access to the future light rail route.
This loved home has a sense of history and was the first to be built in the street, in 1962. The tasteful renovations have created a comfortable and spacious environment, while the artistically planted gardens and entertaining area can be enjoyed throughout the year.
