The complete easy care lifestyle choice with a wonderful indoor/outdoor connection!

This single level chic three-bedroom/study or four-bedroom home is perfectly realised, delivering a relaxed, easy-care lifestyle right in the heart of the inner north. Family flexibility is baked in, the home serving up multiple social spaces, two bathrooms and glorious alfresco living.

The home is tucked away at the end of a quiet dual occupancy block where a neat stencilcrete driveway ushers you to a double garage with a remote contral door and the convenience of internal access. There is a welcoming foyer for storing shoes, dumping keys and tech, and the warmth of Blackbutt timber floors. The spacious living area delivers you the garden and welcomes a bounty of northern light, this is just a beautiful space and also allows enough space for a study nook to one end. While just next door the open plan kitchen and dining room also captures sunlight and landscape, as glass sliders open wide to the outside.

Texture and subtle pattern deliver a contemporary sophistication while recycled timber adds a welcoming country vibe. The stunning renovated kitchen sitting back in one corner, beautifully arranged to maximise storage and utility. The big central Blackbutt island with its reclaimed worktop from Thor’s Hammer glows golden and provides a wonderful focal point and spot to gather. The splash back is finished in soft grey tiling that coalesces with the state-of-the-art stainless steel Falcon cooker with 100cm double oven and 5 burner gas hob. Perfect for family feasts, dinner parties and celebrations big or small.

The master bedroom is welcoming and spacious, drifting to a ensuite bathroom with a stone topped vanity. A clever re-jig has transformed the fourth bedroom/study into an enormous walk-in-robe with ample cabinetry for seamless storage. There are two additional bedrooms both with built-in-robes and big windows that welcome natural light. A nice separation privatises the third bedroom making it an ideal and secluded room for a teenager/guests. There is also a big family bathroom with a corner bathtub and the convenience of a separate powder room.

We love the different moods of the garden allowing you to follow the sun or shade, spending time alone or together. A line of mature olive trees graces the northern border, creating a sculptural garden wall. Here you can dine in the sunshine or under the stars protected by the natural enclosure of the high fences. There is a choice of open air or sheltered spaces and a wonderful open flow from inside to out. Think Mediterranean holiday vibes – lounging by the bespoke pizza oven, soothed by the whispering olive trees and long lunches beneath the shade of the pergola as the kids play safely in the surrounding areas.

Downer is famed for its 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. Explore the boutique shops of Braddon, grabbing some sourdough from Sonoma or perhaps a night out, at one of the many restaurants and bars. The Dickson precinct is a short stroll away for essential services, shopping and international cuisine. And the area is rich in parklands with Downer playing fields, Melba Street Park and Downer Micro-Forest all close to hand. The home is walking distance to schools, including the Catholic University and transport, notably the light rail, whisking you straight to the CBD.
