Magic location ? it doesn't get any better than this!

Perhaps it's the presence of the central parkland, or the wide sleepy street, the organic form of the front garden, the way the lawn swells to one side, all leaf dappled and inviting?..you just want to live here. Imagine spending your days in this garden, listening to the birds, whilst sitting under the shade of the lovely trees and enjoying the outlook to the micro forest and playground.

This charming four-bedroom home brims with character and a great sense of space. There is a distinct "welcome home" vibe at play as sweet details capture the heart and soul. Subtle renovations have extended the home and modernised the kitchen and bathroom, doubling down on functionality and family friendly flexibility. We love the way the home opens to both front, side and rear, spilling to the lawn and garden.

Entry is via a cute portico and timber door with bevelled sidelight. Adjacent is the generous living area with its long windows that capture the garden and the park beyond. A curved arch leads you into the big dining space that is flooded with northern light whilst also connecting you to the outdoors.

Glass sliders can be flung open to breezes, expanding the social experience to include the natural world. One imagines gatherings of family and friends, lunch stretching into evenings, whole summers spent alfresco on the neatly paved area. Cooking is made easy in the modern kitchen, with its curved peninsula, stone worktops and generous amount of cabinetry. There are quality appliances from Blanco, along with a dishwasher from Miele.

A slender hallway privatises the intimate wing and ushers past a laundry, toilet and bathroom with relaxing bathtub. The toilet has two-way access, making life easy and the bathroom is finished in crisp white floor-to-ceiling tiling.

A trio of sunny bedrooms overlook the colours and textures of the front garden. The master bedroom has external access via glass sliders. This versatile space with its wall of seamless built-in-robes could just as easily be utilised as a home office, creative studio, teen-retreat or spacious second living area.

This is leafy Downer at its best, moments from the bustling Dickson and Braddon precincts, handy to the CBD and all the artful enticements of the inner north. And all the while steeped in a pristine, suburban silence. It is an easy stroll to Downer shops, where you can enjoy a bite to eat at the local favourite Gang Gang Caf? and Bar.
