Downer ACT 2602

The beautiful blend of the new with the old continues as you move into the large L-shaped lounge dining, which boasts both quality wool carpets and an open fire place and mantelpiece. The stackable glass doors from the lounge room to the front patio bring the inside out, and the outside in - great for parties!
From the dining room you can also bring more of the outside in as the doors here lead out onto the vast timber deck - the portion of the deck outside the dining room is covered, while an open pergola is a feature for the remainder of the deck. The functional kitchen leads off from the dining room and has ample bench space and storage and features an AEG dishwasher and a brand new Euromaid stove, while the large windows invite you to look out over the pergola and gardens. The large blue Italian floor tiles in the kitchen lead into the separate laundry, and then outside to the back garden. The quality wool carpeting from the lounge dining continues into the three bedrooms, with each having a beautiful outlook. The two larger rooms at the front of the house overlook the birch tree and the courtyard and include mirrored built-in wardrobes, while the third bedroom - or study - overlooks the private back garden. The updated bathroom features a bath and shower, and the toilet remains separate. The easy-care garden on a flat block offers both shade and character. Completely private, coupled with the abundant birdlife, you can feel like you are miles from anywhere, not just minutes from Dickson!
Gorgeous gardens also surround the separate studio, which offers both a secluded shady oasis in summer and a protected sun-trap in winter along the north-facing wall. The studio is bright and light, which is enhanced by the raked ceiling, bay window, white venetian blinds and neutral paint and tiles. This beautifully-finished studio includes its own attractive kitchen with an immaculate electric oven and stove top, a bathroom and separately-metred Rinnai gas heating. There is plenty of parking, with a double carport at the end of a long driveway, as well as additional off-street parking. This home and studio is in a fantastic location - there are bus stops around the corner, but it is just a short walk to the popular Dickson shops and Dickson Aquatic Centre, as well as Dickson District Playing Fields and Downer Neighbourhood Oval. You'll also be close to Mt Majura Nature Reserve and Mount Ainslie, as well as Rosary Primary School, Dickson and Daramalan Colleges, and the Australian Catholic University.
