The renovation of this inner north home is 'something else' says Tim Burke

No stone has been left unturned in the transformative renovation and extension of this single-level home at 104 Atherton Street, Downer.

Luton Properties licensed agent Tim Burke knew the four-bedroom family home was not your typical “inner north special” from the moment he laid eyes on it.

“This is not a simple renovation where someone’s thrown in a new kitchen and it’s a bit glossy on the surface,” Tim explains.

“This has absolutely everything. It’s the best you could possibly get. I can’t even imagine someone doing something as good in the space short of knocking the house down and redoing it entirely.”

From an eye-catching real sandstone feature wall in the living area to custom concrete kitchen benchtops, it’s difficult to know where to start in a tour of the property. But Tim chooses the professionally landscaped and automatically irrigated gardens.

“When we drove up the first time to look at the home, you could see it was going to be something special because the landscaping is amazing,” Tim says.

“The owner is a landscaper, so the mature hedges and trees and everything that’s been done has been done with purpose. It’s also quite low maintenance because it’s been done so well.”

The fully-fenced and completely private gardens of the almost 800sqm block have extra features for families, including an in-ground trampoline and cosy fire pit area.

Meanwhile, the covered entertaining deck, complete with heat strips, lighting, and a fan for year-round comfort, offers the first taste of the attention-to-detail throughout the house.

The open-plan living area is the heart of the home with warm spotted gum flooring and a freestanding gas fireplace.

Decadent touches extend into the kitchen with concrete benchtops and a breakfast bar, Velux skylights, timber detailing, a walk-in pantry and laundry in one, and quality integrated appliances.

The highlight of the home’s four bedrooms is the private master suite with a fluted timber feature wall and New Zealand wool carpet.

“It’s also got a beautiful oversized ensuite with underfloor heating and a large walk-around wardrobe,” Tim adds. “It’s really palatial living.”

Two of the remaining three bedrooms (or two bedrooms and one office) have built-in robes and access to the main bathroom with freestanding bathtub.

Under the hood, the house is also full of function with double-glazed windows, walls and ceiling insulation, ducted gas heating, evaporative cooling, an electric hot water system with a heat pump and a 12 kW solar system with three-phase power.

Other handy features include abundant off-street parking, close proximity to Dickson shops and light rail, and a four-car garage with a mudroom.

Tim says smaller details like these will allow a family to “move in and enjoy it – and be the envy of all your friends” from day one.

“It’s just something else. I know no house suits everyone, but this is one of those that’s going to tick a lot of boxes for a lot of people,” he says.

104 Atherton Street, Downer, goes to auction at 1pm on Saturday 23 September 2023.
