Brilliant family home in the heart of Downer just a short walk to the light rail!

This expansive beautifully transformed versatile four/five-bedroom, study plus ensuite home sits pretty behind cottage gardens, complete with soft lawns, shady trees and a hedge of pink flowering camellias. There is a nice symmetry to the frontage and a lovely balance to the elegant scheme of deep grey set against the neutral bagged brick walls. We love the pop of crisp white timber windows, the shady deep garden frontage and welcoming veranda. To one side a long-hedged driveway ushers to the garage, and a dedicated bay provides plenty of off-street parking.

There is a lovely momentum between the interior and the exterior, as bedrooms and multiple social arenas are cleverly arranged around a central deck. The palatial open kitchen/family and dining, steps down to a sunken lounge with sliders that can be flung open, welcoming nature inside and capturing summer breezes.

A stunning renovation has created a sumptuous modern interior that brims with versatility, and plenty of family friendly spaces, fostering both togetherness and relaxation. The kitchen floats comfortably beside the dining area with a wall of shelving for books and display. Banks of soft touch drawers and wall hung oak cabinets take care of storage, while luxe stainless steel appliances from Fisher & Paykel make family meals and entertaining a cinch. A large island bench, set with timber worktop is a great gathering place and shares perfect sociability with the dining table.

The sunken nature of the lounge lends a cosy, intimate vibe along with an open connection to both the kitchen and courtyard deck. In the warmer months, the central outdoor area becomes as much a living space as the built environment. This sun trap streams light into the home and fosters relaxed communion with both nature and each other. Think morning coffee, happy alfresco gatherings, long lazy Sunday brunches.

At the rear of the home there is a superb laundry with loads of storage and a toilet. While beyond, the flexible second living/5th bedroom area opens directly to the shady rear garden, with a grove of Japanese maples and majestic sheltering tree.

Privately housed in the front of the plan and capturing pretty garden views, the master bedroom is all calming and welcoming generosity. A mirrored walk-through-robe merges with ensuite bathroom awash in neutral tones, gifting soothing spa-like elegance.

The family wing houses three generous sized bedrooms, a big family bathroom and separate office - perfect for homework. A deep relaxing freestanding tub perfectly complements rain shower and black stone topped vanity within the sumptuous bathroom.

Downer is an established, family-friendly suburb, with ample green spaces and close proximity to the lively Dickson and Braddon precincts. The home is close to Downer playing fields, Melba Street Park, and Downer Micro-Forest. The local Downer shops are not far, with local favourites including - Peter's Wine Shop and Gang Gang Caf? and Bar. The home is walking distance to schools and transport, including the light rail, whisking you straight to the CBD, which is an easy 13 minutes by car.
