Last Listing description (October 2018)

A peaceful location offering leafy vistas, great street appeal and striking presentation are outstanding attributes of this inviting, privately built home. The expansive front terrace hints at the remarkable interior design and flowing floorplan.
Stepping into the wide entry, you will be instantly captivated by the stunning, newly polished Victorian Ash flooring, which extend throughout the home. A distinctive feature wall adds charm to the foyer. To the right, double glass doors open to the lounge, flooded with winter sunlight. Full length windows, decorated with new furnishings take in the appealing streetscape of nearby Fenner Street through the changing seasons. A Panasonic reverse cycle air conditioning unit and ducted evaporative cooling maintain comfort. Decorative cornices feature throughout the entry, lounge and bedrooms.
Living areas have a U-shaped, open plan design and from the lounge, further mid-century designed double glass doors lead to the dining and kitchen. This area is functional and overlooks the superb rear garden.

The oversized master and second bedrooms are located to the left of the entry. Sunlight pours into the master bedroom, which has a long built-in robe. Adjacent to the bright third bedroom, the bathroom is in excellent condition and offers a bath and shower, which is fitted with a modern flexible rose, while the toilet is separate. The laundry provides direct access into the garden.
Mature trees shelter the level rear garden, creating a haven of peace and privacy. A decorative pomegranate is laden with fruit in season while an evergreen loquat and a huge African bean tree add an exotic touch. There is ample parking on the long driveway. The brick garage has a north facing wall, providing exciting possibilities for entertaining.
The quiet location is just a short walk from coffee at the new Gang Gang Downer cafe, or the buzz of ever improving Dickson shopping precinct with its many cafes, restaurants and various amenities. Many well regarded local schools and colleges are within walking distance, as well as the Australian Catholic University. Light rail will be an added attraction in the near future.
