8/39 Gardiner Street

Downer ACT 2602

Functionality is the key to the fully renovated kitchen with stone benchtop and Bosch appliances of dishwasher, under bench oven and electric cooktop. The easterly orientation of the balcony is perfect for coffee to start the day, as well as providing a beautiful leafy outlook.

Contrary to other two bedroom apartments of this era, both bedrooms are very good in terms of size and both have block-out roman blinds. The master bedroom easily accommodates queen bed furniture and has a built-in robe. The second bedroom easily fits double bed furniture, and there is plenty of space for a large free-standing robe.

The quality of the renovations are of a very high standard, as the owner had professionals undertake improvements for their own use, not just as an investment property. The bathroom offers quality fittings and fixtures, and built-in mirror cabinetry. The renovations also ensure there is a separate European laundry inside the apartment, not in the kitchen, for yet more confirmation of the quality of the renovations.

The location is perfect, the apartment is immaculate, and only minutes to Dickson Shopping Precinct and walking distance to the Downer community shops. A refreshing walk each day to the light rail will mean you could leave the car in the carport, saving parking fees and petrol. For investors, the gross yield is 5.89% (based on a sale of $345,000), so all the numbers make sense, with the tenants wishing to stay on.

This treasure is ideal for the first home-owner to move into, or investor, or Executives, or family looking for somewhere to stay when they drop into Canberra. So rare, and so amazing.
