Leave the car at home ? walking distance of so many amenities and attractions!

Large timber windows frame leafy garden views, welcoming glorious sunshine and there is an overarching mood of lightness and joy. This beautifully renovated, three-bedroom home brims with a mix of the old and the new, creating a wonderful warm and inviting feel. Resting comfortably within large, pretty gardens, the home is a safe haven of wellbeing. There is so much to love, from the soothing paired back palette, golden timber floors, to the well-preserved period details and the artful modern flourishes.

Shirley street with only a handful of homes is lined with age-old trees, with reaching arms that form an arch in summer, dappling footpaths with much welcome shade. This fantastic locale places you within reach of all the enticements of the charming inner north, just a short walk from the fabulous Downer and Watson shops and handy to the buzzing Dickson precinct

Set behind deep lawns, with a private driveway ushering to a gated carport, the form has a classic appeal, with brickwork painted a muted grey, large windows and peaked tiled roof. A central garden path leads to a broad porch and the striking bright red front door.

Inside it is all light and bright, rich with character - ornate cornices, glorious, sectioned windows - creating a wonderful sense of warmth and charisma. Art sings on white walls, while chosen modern and vintage pieces, combine with ease. Pops of vibrant pattern enhance the simplicity, creating a home full of play and delight.

The living area enjoys long garden views, via the enormous window that frames the world. A slow combustion fire is a lovely focal point and the perfect place to gather on cooler nights. There is an easy drift to the kitchen combined dining, that flows via French doors straight to the alfresco decking area overlooking the leafy rear gardens.

The renovated kitchen is all French Provincial allure, with ornate cabinetry, recessed sink beneath the window, black marbled countertops and lush floral papered wall in shades of gold and turquoise. This beguiling combo feels effortless, alongside a hard-working practicality, inspiring easy family meals and creative entertaining.

An enormous window frames the garden, welcoming northern light, the master bedroom extending a peaceful tranquillity, with a wall of robes for seamless storage. Both additional bedrooms capture leafy views and are blessed with ample storage. The elegant family bathroom employs mosaic and subway tiling, freestanding bath and Victorian inspired vanity to wonderful monochromatic effect.

A sheltered deck runs the length of the home, providing a peaceful outlook across the broad lawn, out to the mature trees that dot the fence line. There is plenty of space for a large table, set for plenty, and comfy lounge seating?gin & tonic anyone? Think, epic family gatherings, kids playing on the lawn, spontaneous family cricket as the sun fades.

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 the Downer Micro-Forest. The local Downer shops are not far, with local favourites including the famous 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.
