Garden paths meander past established walls of green, creating a wonderful sense of privacy and connection to nature. In the backyard, outdoor dining sits alongside mature callistemons, while a grove of campsis shields the clothesline. At the front, high courtyard walls enclose the north-westerly deck, with pink and white camellias and a lime-green hedge leading towards the double garage.
There is a welcoming Mediterranean feel to this renovated and twice-extended home, expressed through bagged white walls, warm red brick detailing and custom-made black steel gates. Inside, four peaceful bedrooms, multiple living spaces and a generous separate study provide room for work, gathering and retreat. It is a relaxed union of history, modern comfort, family flexibility and natural integration.
Timber floors glow in the sunshine, while large timber-framed windows and French doors with Phantom insect screens maintain a continual connection with the gardens. The combined front living and dining area faces due north and opens to the private north-westerly deck. A magnificent liquid amber provides cooling summer shade while allowing warming light through in the colder months.
Morning light fills the kitchen, where a wide window frames the delicate fronds of a tree fern. Granite worktops introduce a blush of pink, while a servery connects with the dining area. A generous corner pantry provides excellent storage, and the adjoining family room and study nook have an easy, open feel.
Two separate extensions honour the character of the original cottage with high ceilings, timber floors and joinery. A generous study/second living area opens outdoors and connects to the privately positioned master suite. French doors with Phantom insect screens flow from the bedroom to an intimate timber porch and serene garden outlook. Beyond, a paved alfresco dining area is sheltered by a large remote-controlled electric sun awning.
Three additional bedrooms have built-in robes and leafy outlooks. Bedroom four opens directly to the front deck and courtyard, making it ideal for an older child, intergenerational living or guests. The spacious family bathroom is finished in simple grey floor-to-ceiling tiles, with a walk-in shower, clever storage, sculptural basin and seamless European laundry.
Offered for the first time in over 40 years, the home enjoys a prized inner-north position on a quiet street beneath a leafy canopy of established Linden trees. Parks, schools and local shops are close by, including Downer playing fields, Melba Street Park and Downer Micro-Forest. Dickson and Braddon are within easy reach, while nearby Downer shops are home to Gang Gang Café and Bar. Bus stops, light rail and easy access to the CBD complete an exceptionally connected lifestyle.
