Description: Purchased in March 2023, this 705m² flat parcel in a tightly held, family-focused cul-de-sac offered more than just a dated dwelling; it offered a vision. Following a meticulous knockdown-rebuild completed in July 2024, the site has been reimagined into a sophisticated sanctuary designed for the modern family. The result is a new residence where the main living area sits at the centre of it all, from morning coffees in the sun-filled dining space to evenings spent cooking while watching the children play in the secure yard. A self-contained studio adds flexibility, offering private space for visiting family and friends and making extended stays easy and comfortable. With a move planned to a warmer climate, the homeowners are now ready to pass on a home that has been thoughtfully built and genuinely enjoyed. THE HOME Completed in July 2024, this single-level residence has been designed to deliver both scale and flexibility, offering five bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a self-contained studio attached to the home, across 281.7m² under roof. The home is filled with natural light and feels expansive as the ceilings are enhanced by 2.7m square-set ceilings and a well-considered open plan layout that seamlessly connects the kitchen, living, and dining areas. The open plan kitchen, living & dining area flow directly out to the tiled under-roof alfresco, creating a practical indoor-outdoor connection suited to both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen is equipped with quality appliances including a 900mm Electrolux electric oven, Westinghouse induction cooktop and a walk-in pantry, all finished with Caesarstone benchtops and soft-close cabinetry. The master suite is complete with a walk-in robe and private ensuite, while the additional bedrooms all have built-in robes and are supported by well-appointed bathrooms featuring full-height tiling, semi-frameless shower screens, wall-hung vanities, and a freestanding bath. The inclusion of a fully self-contained studio, also complete with its own kitchenette, bathroom, split system, and separate electricity meter, offers an ideal setup for extended family, guests, or potential rental income. THE LOCATION Positioned in a peaceful cul-de-sac where neighbours become friends, you are perfectly placed to enjoy the best of the Inner North. With close proximity to Downer Preschool and nearby schools you are also within walking distance to the light rail for an effortless commute to Canberra Centre and Braddon's renowned Lonsdale Street. An array of popular cafes, restaurants, shops, and supermarkets are all within easy reach at the Dickson shopping and dining precinct. You'll be spoilt for choice with nearby amenities, with gyms, parks, swimming pool, and tennis courts. Local favourites like the Gang Gang Café and the surrounding wetlands walking trails ensure that convenience and lifestyle go hand-in-hand.
