Last Listing description (July 2022)

Relish the prospect of applying your creative flair to this superbly located home, in an appealing street, just a short walk to cafes, shops and restaurants in Downer and Dickson social hubs, and a light rail stop!

The home occupies a generous block of approximately 802 m2 and has great street appeal. There is much renovation and renewal underway in the tree lined street and it is just steps to a lovely park with a playground, cared for by the community who enjoy working bees there.

Importantly, some of the more costly updating to the home has already been done, leaving largely only painting and floor sanding, or new carpet, to effect a stunning transformation!

The entry leads to the spacious and bright eat-in kitchen, updated from the original, offering white benchtops, a freestanding stove with a gas cooktop and lino flooring with a contemporary look.

Full length windows in the lounge take advantage of the sunny north-west aspect to the rear and a reverse cycle air conditioner ensures comfort.
Windows throughout the home were replaced some years ago. Solid timber flooring features all through the home, which could be readily transformed for a modest outlay.

Energy saving ceiling and wall insulation add to comfort and a Stiebel Eltron heat pump provides energy efficient hot water.

The spacious master bedroom enjoys the sunny orientation at the rear of the home and all three have exposed timber flooring.

Updated in recent times with contemporary finishes, the bathroom offers a bath, shower, garden window and a separate w/c.

Guttering and facias have been replaced in recent years and Crimsafe screen doors installed.

The large level garden is a fabulous canvas for extension or a deck, but would still offer plenty of space if a new build is your dream.

From the peaceful street, a short stroll across the oval will take you to coffee at Downer or the vibrant Dickson centre. Many sought after schools, Dickson swimming pool and many other sporting facilities, nature trails on Mt. Ainslie and Farmers' Market, are all within easy reach of the friendly neighbourhood, and it is a swift trip into the City centre on light rail!
