7 Barney Street, Downer, ACT 2602

There is so much to love about this freshly presented, Canberra red brick home, situated in a peaceful street, lined with Claret Ash trees, only a short walk from cafes and a light rail stop.

Timber framed windows, with newly painted exterior trim all around, and a covered front sitting area add to the strong first impression, complemented by neat lawns.

High raked ceilings through all living areas and bedrooms are a delightful surprise, and the interior has been refreshed throughout in neutral white. Brand new, quality carpet is laid through the lounge, dining room, hallway and bedrooms.

The welcoming lounge features a cathedral ceiling and is bathed in light from full length windows on both sides of the room framing a garden outlook, with a perfect north aspect to the rear. Comfort is assured by a gas wall heater and a reverse cycle air conditioner, and there is a slow combustion fireplace for winter ambience.

Also enjoying the sunny north aspect, the dining room offers a private outlook over the rear garden and a rose bush. It is easy to imagine a sliding door here leading to a future entertaining deck.

The bright eat-in kitchen is functional, with an electric stove and a pantry.

Raked ceilings to all four bedrooms enhance the sense of space. The master offers a built-in robe with a storage recess in two more bedrooms. The bathroom has the advantage of offering a bath and a shower, as well as a separate w/c.

Shrubs border the large level rear garden which is completely private and offers many possibilities.

The front sitting area is a lovely spot to enjoy the private garden outlook and visiting parrots on the mature crab apple tree.

The wonderful location is a short pleasant walk to light rail, Gang Gang café at Downer shops, a limitless of choice of restaurants and shopping at Dickson, many sought after schools and the swimming pool!

This inviting home will be enjoyable to live in just as it is, and is sure to inspire the imagination!
