colour your world

Convenient to all the inner north attractions!

This extended semi-detached home sits behind pretty deep gardens and shines with a modernist flair. We love the white expanse of casement windows, set against the classic brick form and the sweet front patio. Inside a world of colour says goodbye to bland beige, capturing the imagination, the play of the soul.

This re-jigged vintage classic boasts solar array, a modern kitchen, a duo of social spaces, a riot of colour and spill out to a long back deck overlooking the large garden. What's not to love? Throw in a magnificent walnut tree that shades a cubby house, organic shaped sandpits, so the kids can go wild while you relax with friends on the veranda and you have it all. Oh, and also the home is ideally placed on a quiet street, moments from Parkland, the wetlands and within easy stroll to the fabulous Downer shops.

The renovations have managed a respectful blend of the old and the new. Colour varies from room to room creating a vibrant mood to match the robust modernist spirit of the home. There is so much to cherish about this home, from the sunshine yellow front living area with its glorious garden aspect to the cosy family room, set with slow combustion fireplace and easy connection to outside.

Sunlight dapples the floating bamboo floors in the kitchen combined meals, which drifts to the generous second living space. There is also a large servery window so conversations and food can be shared back and forth. Black marbled stone benchtops meet a glass splashback in a coppery hue, reflecting light and shadow. There are banks of white cabinets and drawers, a full-height pantry and a shuttered coffee bay. Quality appliances from Ariston, 5-burner Miele stovetop and a dishwasher from Bosch take care of family meals and entertaining.

All three bedrooms have built-in-storage and large windows that frame the landscape. We love the deep red of the master and the splash of lime green that colours bedroom three. The family bathroom and separate toilet are tiled in a mix of sea greens and blues and there is a relaxing bathtub. The adjacent laundry has storage and opens to the breezes and climbing grape vines that shade the deck.

The lovely expansive gardens are dotted with mature trees, edged with green walls. There is an established giant lemon tree and that magical walnut tree, which is an absolute crowning glory. The long driveway ushers to a Colorbond garage that sits deep on the block.

Downer is famed for its active community, leafy streets and much-loved local shops, home to the popular Gang Gang café - one of the few intimate venues remaining, showcasing celebrated and innovative musicians and hosting sociable trivia nights and fab flea markets. The Dickson precinct is moments away for essential services, shopping and international cuisine. And the area is rich in parklands with Downer playing fields, Melba Street Park, Downer Micro-Forest and the walking trails of Dickson wetlands and the reserves all close to hand. The home is in walking distance to top schools and the Catholic University, and close to transport, notably the light rail, whisking you straight to the CBD.
