13B Hope Street, Dickson ACT 2602, Australia
It is a detached house situated on Hope Street, offering a traditional residential layout. It sits on a sizeable land parcel, providing room for gardens or outdoor amenities.
The land measures approximately 810 m², which is generous for a suburban lot in Dickson. This space allows for landscaping, a backyard, or potential extensions subject to council approval.
The home is conveniently close to public transport, with the Macarthur Avenue light rail stop and the Dickson Interchange both about 0.6 km away. The interchange serves six bus routes (18, 30, 31, 50, 51, 53, and R9), providing easy access to the wider Canberra network.
Essential services are within easy walking distance; the Dickson Centre, featuring supermarkets, shops and an ambulance station, is roughly 0.6 km away. Nearby recreational spots include Keith Tournier Enclosed Oval (≈0.5 km) and Jandura Park (≈0.8 km), both suitable for outdoor activities.
The surrounding area is characterised by leafy streets and detached single‑dwelling houses, typical of Dickson’s central residential zone. The suburb blends a quiet neighbourhood feel with close proximity to the commercial and transport hub.
The site's geology consists of calcareous shales from the Silurian‑age Canberra Formation, often referred to as the "Limestone Plains." In the flatter sections of Dickson, these shales are overlain by Quaternary alluvium deposits.
Historically, the Dickson area was home to Canberra’s original aerodrome (1924‑1926) and later the Dickson Experiment Station, which contributed to wartime and agricultural research. Modern Dickson developed from the late 1950s, with its first houses built near Braddon and the suburb officially gazetted in 1928.
