Description

a place to call home Set on a brilliant block of 1445m2!

This is the quintessential family home, large and sprawling, flowing to a shady wraparound veranda, quietly immersed within stunning, rambling gardens. With beautiful bespoke timber cabinetry, slate floors, expansive glazings and a joyful connection to the surrounding landscape, you can't help but love this home.

It's the kind of home you grow old in, all good bones and just room to move. Just ask the current owners who have proudly called this residence their home for forty years. Think lovingly tended, thoughtfully updated, it's the perfect place to raise kids, creating memories, tending to the lush grounds and sheltering beneath the shade of so many magnificent trees.

Despite the ideal closeness to the thriving Dickson and Braddon precincts, the lively local shops, you could be anywhere. The home reading like a country estate, poised at the end of a cul-de-sac, private and nestled within its enormous, cultivated block.

Brimming with old world charm the home extends multiple and spacious living areas for every kind of family. The front living area looking out to the green walls of the garden and the open plan kitchen, dining and family space opening to the deck, perfect for both entertaining and relaxing.

We love the classic kitchen with timber detailing. There are so many features that capture the heart, all combined with an excellent floor plan offering the choice of two masters. You can decide between the largest room or the airy addition, with its access to the outdoors. Either way the home is generous, with the four bedrooms, all having easy access to the renovated family bathroom with underfloor heating.

Underpinning it all is a particular tranquillity, imagine early afternoon, a quality of light, beds teeming with perennials, natives, winter roses, endless bulbs and iris, just to name a few. There is a paved alfresco area, kiwi fruit twined pergola and an enormous, shed/studio set near the extensive vegetable gardens. This large and versatile space has bathroom facilities, bench with plumbing, fixed shelving and a large loft for storage, the possibilities are endless.

Downer is an established, family-friendly suburb, with ample green spaces and close proximity to the lively Dickson precinct. It is an easy stroll to Downer shops, with the local favourite Gang Gang Café and Bar. The home is also within walking distance of a great choice of schools, and is close to transport, including the light rail, whisking you straight to the CBD.
