The property at 6 Dumaresq Street is a detached house featuring three bedrooms and one bathroom, positioned on a 430 m² land parcel. It is situated within the suburb of Dickson in Canberra’s Inner North.
The site sits on a 430 m² block, providing space for a garden or outdoor living area while retaining a manageable footprint typical of inner‑city homes.
Public transport is convenient, with two light‑rail stations, Macarthur Avenue and Dickson Interchange, within walking distance (about 0.6 km). The Dickson Interchange also serves six bus routes, including 18, 30, 31, 50, 51, 53 and R9.
Residents are close to the Dickson Centre (approximately 0.4 km), which offers supermarkets, shops, an ambulance station and the Dickson Baptist Church. Additional nearby amenities include the Dickson Library (0.3 km), Dickson Wetlands (0.7 km), and the Dickson District Playing Fields (0.9 km).
Dickson is characterised by leafy streets and a mix of detached houses and duplexes, with ongoing redevelopment of the western edge for multi‑storey apartments. It is bounded by major roads such as Northbourne Avenue and Antill Street, providing easy road access.
The area has a notable history, having hosted Canberra’s original aerodrome between 1924 and 1926 and later the Dickson Experiment Station, which contributed to wartime and post‑war agricultural research. The suburb was officially gazetted in 1928.
Geologically, Dickson sits on calcareous shales of the Silurian‑age Canberra Formation, historically referred to as the “Limestone Plains.” In flatter parts of the suburb, Quaternary alluvium overlies the shale.
