Discover a delightful home, where the joy of maintaining a vast lawn is replaced with an abundance of family-friendly features. This charming dual occupancy residence offers a serene atmosphere, with minimal upkeep required, adorned by enchanting trees and gardens.
Embrace the feeling of spaciousness without sacrificing privacy, while the nearby oval provides ample space for children to play and dogs to roam. Just a short stroll away, you'll find a plethora of dining options, along with the convenience of the library and pool in Dickson. With excellent access to public transportation, this home truly embodies the perfect blend of convenience and comfort for your family.
A bright red door in feng shui symbolises the energy of new opportunities, good luck and protection. There are certainly welcoming vibes, as vertical green garden walls and magnificent trees shelter and enclose, concealing and holding this beautiful four-bedroom family home. Within the material scheme is organic and inviting, with lightish walls, raw linen Roman blinds, pops of dove grey and flashes of silver and gold.
Steppers immediately invite exploration of the secret front garden, curving around to a paved alfresco stage, shaded by the reaching arms of an age-old oak tree. Native shrubs and ground covers soften with liriopes and sea daises providing washes of pretty green.
The exterior is all neutral rendered walls with vivid black aluminium windows. A sheltering front porch is neatly tiled in blacks and mica white, as ruby red double doors, set with pretty inlaid leadlight glass, complete the warm entry sequence.
Upon entering rich timber floors flow underfoot as the entry foyer gives way to a light filled front living room, where rows of north facing glazing frame the leafy front garden. Sliders open to the side, welcoming sunshine and breezes, gifting a wonderful indoor-outdoor flow. One imagines long lunches, and hours spent beneath the shade of the trees…in your own private city oasis.
Waterfall terrazzo stone benchtops are scattered with silvery sparkles and meet golden bronze tiled splashbacks within the elegant kitchen. An island floats central as banks of drawers and cabinetry create a spot for everything. There is an uninterrupted sociability within the dining/family area, here you can gather with family and friends as the chef of the home cooks up a feast, whilst still being able to join in on the conversations.
The master bedroom is nicely sequestered, large and welcoming. There is an ensuite bathroom and walk-in-robe with customised joinery. Three additional bedrooms centre around a family bathroom with relaxing spa bathtub. Both bathrooms share a sumptuous materiality as full-height tiling shines in crisp white, with broad black borders, and bronzed floors. There is a distinct art-deco flair, with flashes of chrome and gorgeous moulded black stone basins, scattered with flecks of gold.
The beautifully finished driveway stretches alongside perfectly clipped hedges with clusters of purple leafed plum trees, sweeping around to the double garage. There is plenty of additional storage within the garage, and an easy covered entry into the home via the internal laundry, with its harmonious, golden ceramic floors.
Downer is an established, family-friendly suburb, with ample green spaces and close proximity to the lively Dickson and Braddon precincts. The home is close to Downer playing fields, Melba Street Park, and an easy stroll to the Downer Micro-Forest. The local Downer shops are not far, with its local favourite the Gang Gang Café and Bar. The home is walking distance to schools and public transport, including the light rail, whisking you straight to the CBD, which is an easy 13 minutes by car.
