18 Archer Street, Dickson, ACT 2602

Can we take a moment to celebrate the ex-govie - dependable, storied, balanced, and graceful. The red-brick form with its low-lying and elegant lines warms the heart and soul from the get-go.
This renovated and very sweet three-bedder is immaculate both inside and out. Clever updates have introduced a soothing modern simplicity to the interiors, and big windows frame the surrounding of flat lawns. Think lots of potential for an airy extension that capitalises on the perfect north-easterly aspect, creating a spacious forever home close to schools, green spaces, and all the foodie and café scenes of the Dickson Precinct.

Clipped hedging privatises the deep frontage, and a long driveway ushers to gated parking. There is a small and elevated front porch, and the pause of a tiled foyer complete with a large coat cupboard for hanging coats and woollies. Broad planked oak-like floors stretch underfoot, and the walls are painted a simple crisp white. Living is arranged in the sunlight, and there is a lovely open flow into the beautifully renovated kitchen combined meals area.

A big window sits above the sink, granting views across the broad green lawns that stretch beneath the reaching arms of a stand-alone tree. White cabinets are topped with stonework tops that wear the light speckling of eggshell. The glass splash back reflects light and movement and is tinted an elegant dove grey, echoing the choice of carpet in all three bedrooms. There are all-electric appliances, including a dishwasher from Fisher & Paykel, and the joy of a full-height pantry.

A slender hallway invites to three welcoming bedrooms and a family bathroom with a tub. There is the convenience of a separate toilet, which can be accessed via the laundry, which opens directly onto the garden. All three bedrooms have built-in robes and are graced by big windows that frame the gardens and welcome a grace of natural light.

Resting at the foothills of Mt Ainslie, surrounded by green spaces, Dickson has a relaxed village vibe. It is an easy stroll to the famous Dickson precinct for shopping and a choice of international cuisine. The wetlands and Dutton St playground are close at hand, and there is a choice of public and private schooling. Close to transport and the famous Ainslie shops, the home is also just a stone's throw from the dynamic Braddon precinct, the CBD, and the ANU.
