87 Wilshire Street, Dickson ACT 2602, Australia
The property sits on a 694 m² land parcel. This provides a modest block for a detached house in the suburb.
It is a detached house, typical of the central part of Dickson where leafy streets are lined with single‑family homes and two‑storey duplexes.
The Dickson Centre is about 0.4 km away, making it a short walk from the house. The centre offers supermarkets, shops, an ambulance station and other commercial services.
The Dickson Interchange, a Metro bus hub with six bus lines, is roughly 0.6 km from the property. Two light‑rail stops, Macarthur Avenue and the interchange stop, are also nearby.
The Dickson Wetlands (approximately 0.7 km) and the District Playing Fields (around 0.9 km) provide walking tracks, sports ovals and open green space for residents.
Dickson’s central area is characterised by leafy streets with detached homes and two‑storey duplexes, while the western side is being redeveloped with multi‑storey apartments and mixed‑use buildings.
The suburb sits on calcareous shales from the Silurian‑age Canberra Formation, historically known as the "Limestone Plains," with Quaternary alluvium covering the flatter sections.
The site lies within the area that once hosted Canberra’s original aerodrome (1924‑1926) and later the Dickson Experiment Station, reflecting a transition from early aviation to agricultural research before suburban development began in the late 1950s.
