The inner north delivers again with a townhouse you won't want to leave

Guests at 3/36 Blacket Street, Downer, won’t regret rugging up this winter to spend some quality time in the outdoor entertaining area of this near-new three-bedroom townhouse .

The home’s more than 100sqm of external living space has been maximised with an integrated outdoor kitchenette and two separate decks overlooking a well-manicured garden.

“That’s the biggest thing that sets his townhouse apart from other quality townhouses in the inner north,” says LJ Hooker Dickson real estate agent Ryan Hedley.

“You’ve got such a spacious yard area and the owner has done a fantastic job creating those two separate outdoor living areas with custom-made decks.”

The decks on separate sides of the wrap-around yard connect seamlessly with the hub of the townhouse: an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area that commands the home’s ground level.

For the cooking that requires more than the kitchenette’s BBQ, the modern indoor kitchen with integrated AEG appliances has a large island benchtop facing the entertaining deck at the rear of the home for uninterrupted conversation. Ryan says this natural flow of indoor-outdoor living and entertaining is ideal for young professional couples who enjoy hosting friends and family.

“People looking to start their journey with a young family will also find enough yard space for a trampoline and kids to play," he says.

The living and dining area features high-set ceilings and quality timber flooring, capturing lots of natural daylight, and has a powder room tucked away to the side. For the cooler single-digit temperature evenings, a ducted reverse heating and cooling system will keep guests warm downstairs as well as upstairs, where the home’s two bedrooms and master suite are located.

“This is a great idea that reduces the home’s footprint but also allows for a larger living and dining area downstairs and larger bedrooms,” Ryan says.

The master suite features a walk-in robe and ensuite and is privately separated from the two other bedrooms (both with built-in robes) by the main bathroom and a second powder room.

But the smart interior design doesn’t end there, with buyers noticing how cleverly the storage options have been placed throughout the townhouse, including a concealed European laundry downstairs.

“They’ve done a really good job of incorporating as much storage as possible in very smart ways to accommodate townhouse living,” Ryan says.

Prospective buyers won’t be sacrificing car space either, with the home featuring an automatic garage with internal access and an undercover space for a second vehicle.

Located in a boutique complex of six townhouses, the Downer home is within walking distance of a light rail stop and Dickson’s dining and shopping precinct.

“The house market is so hard to break into in the inner north, and this townhouse allows you to not compromise on quality or location,” Ryan says.

3/36 Blacket Street, Downer, will be auctioned at 11.30am on Saturday 17 June 2023.
