530 Northbourne Avenue

Downer ACT 2602

Solid as a rock, this property has definitely stood the test of time and stands proudly, set back from the road, with excellent street appeal.
The versatility of uses will become apparent upon inspection of the approximately 182 m2 of light and bright living spaces.
Originally built with internal stairs as one enormous family home, later it was adjusted and currently presents as two separate apartment style dwellings which each feature a variety of decorative cornices, adding personality and charm. Both well maintained dwellings are completely individual, with own entrances and boast separate electricity meters and a joint water meter.
The lower level offers a large living room and separate dining adjacent to the kitchen and laundry. There is also a bathroom plus three bedrooms; the smallest being interconnected which makes it perfect for use as a dressing room, baby's nursery, study or parents retreat.
The upper level provides direct access via an outside stair-well placed at the rear of the building. Arriving into two airy living spaces, beyond is the open plan kitchen (the stove has been removed from here) and meals and family area plus bathroom and your choice of either three bedrooms or the option of two bedrooms which then allows for an additional living space flowing onto the generous balcony.
You will notice the brick garage which has been modified and extended for use as a studio with its own approved bathroom.
Built on a large, flat block of approximately 725 m2 amidst the row of familiar bed and breakfast accommodation properties, this dwelling must be seen to be appreciated.
There is ample parking, with a welcoming and practical circular driveway at the front and each home having its own long driveway, three extra tall carports plus the brick garage which can be converted back, if not required as a studio.
With a bus stop and bike paths very close by, Dickson shops, cafes and restaurants a short walk away, the Australian National University and University of Canberra nearby and the convenience of the inner city at the end of the road, you will be ideally located for a perfect Canberra lifestyle.
