Is this the special place you have been searching for? Magic location with unlimited potential!

Birdsong is the only sound to be heard in this sunny, peaceful cul-de-sac, where much renewal has already taken place, in the heart of the Inner North.

Once in a while, a home in the perfect location will come along to spark your imagination, to renovate, extend or as the canvas for a new build!

With a north aspect to the rear, on a generous block of approximately 742 m2, this well maintained home offers the opportunity to occupy just as it is, or to commence your new project.

Neat, established gardens surround the home.

The entry opens into a hallway and flows to both the open plan eat-in kitchen, equipped with an upright stove with gas cooktop and also to the living room. From the meals nook a sliding door opens onto an east facing terrace, the perfect place for a morning coffee.

There is a separate, spacious lounge, warmed by a gas heater. This was installed in the former fireplace now bricked up, though the chimney is still in place. From here a sliding door opens onto a paved entertaining area with a pergola, under the shelter of a mature deciduous tree.

Bedrooms are spacious, especially the master, which offers a built-in robe and private garden outlook. The bathroom has a bath with a shower and there is a separate w/c.

The large, level rear garden enjoys a sunny north aspect and is enclosed with Colorbond fencing, and features nectarine, apricot trees and grapes as well as two large raised veggie beds. Spring will delight when the many bulbs appear, and currently you can enjoy the hydrangeas, hellebores, agapanthas and lily-of-the-valley.

There is a carport and two garden sheds, together with a shelter which could house a trailer or small boat.

From the tree lined cul-de-sac it is a short stroll to the Gang Gang café in Downer, Dickson College and Rosary Primary, while Watson or Hackett shops and the Dickson hub are all a comfortable walk.

The many attractions of the Inner North and a wide selection of sought after schools and bush walks or mountain biking on Mt Ainslie are all within easy reach.

This neat home, in a fantastic location, is sure to fire your creativity, and offers so many possibilities!
