Last Listing description (November 2026)
Set on one of Downer's most sought-after tree-lined streets, this fully updated three-bedroom home offers a rare combination of immediate liveability and genuine future potential - all on a generous, perfectly rectangular 820m block.
From the street, fresh external paintwork gives the home real street appeal, while a welcoming front patio with ramp access sets a warm, easy tone at the door. Step inside and you'll find the same care has gone into every corner - freshly painted throughout, with nice vinyl flooring flowing underfoot and a north-facing orientation that fills the living area with natural light all day long.
The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with quality appliances, gas cooking and no shortage of storage - a space that makes everyday cooking a pleasure. Three bedrooms, each with built-in storage, offer comfortable accommodation for the whole family, while the updated bathroom rounds out a home that's genuinely ready to move into.
Outside, the block is where this property really comes into its own. Perfectly rectangular and generously sized at 820m, it offers plenty of clear, usable space to extend, renovate, or even start completely fresh down the track - the kind of opportunity that's becoming harder to find in the Inner North. A large metal double garage provides secure parking and storage, complemented by a separate garden shed for all the extras.
Location is everything here, and Cotton Street delivers. Downer Preschool and a local park are just down the road, making this an easy choice for young families, while the Dickson CBD with its fantastic dining and shopping precinct is just a short 15-minute walk or a quick 5-minute bike ride away. For Braddon and the City, the light rail is only a short walk away, offering an easy, low-fuss way to get into town.
Whether you're looking to settle in and enjoy the home as it is, or you're already thinking about what comes next, 8 Cotton Street offers a genuine opportunity to secure your future in one of Downer's best pockets.
