Stylishly renovated for modern living whilst retaining the charm of an original Downer residence, only a short walk to the light rail stop.

This tastefully updated, privately built home really stands out for its street appeal, with rendered finish in a contemporary tone, quality timber windows, French doors and front deck with a shade sail, and is set amidst attractive, easy care landscaping.

The superb inner north location is just a short walk from a light rail stop or Downer café, and close to the Dickson hub and Watson shops.
The formal lounge and dining is bathed in light from the full length, Victorian Ash, double glazed windows and French doors, which capture the north-west aspect and bring the garden in. LED downlighting, decorative cornices and polished timber flooring feature throughout the home.

In the casual living area, the large modern, galley style kitchen features sleek cabinetry with a distinctive finish, ample bench space, laGermania gas cooktop and oven, a Siemens stainless steel dishwasher and a pantry with tinted glass doors.

From the family room a second set of beautiful French doors opens onto an expansive, private rear entertaining deck, creating a continuous flow through from living areas onto front and rear decks.

Bedrooms are spacious and the master offers a modern built-in robe and garden outlook. The updated bathroom features a shower and a bath.
Ceiling fans, installed in the lounge/dining and in all bedrooms, as well as ducted evaporative cooling and ducted gas heating, ensure comfort.

The huge rear deck is sheltered by a shade sail and has a private outlook over the rear garden, creating the perfect environment for relaxing with family or larger gatherings.

There is a quality garage and carport, gardens are mature, yet all low maintenance, while the rear garden features a number of raised veggie beds and two rain water tanks.

This location is within easy reach of all inner north amenities and the proximity to light rail makes for a smooth trip into the City centre, Farmers' Markets or Gungahlin Marketplace.
