11 Fenner Street is a house situated on a 694 m² block. The property offers a sizable garden area typical of the inner‑north suburbs of Canberra.
The closest Canberra Metro station is Swinden Street, about 1 km away, with the larger Dickson Interchange roughly 1.4 km from the house.
Within walking distance you’ll find the Dickson District Playing Fields (≈0.8 km) and the Dickson Wetland (≈1.1 km), while Exhibition Park in Canberra is also about 1.1 km away for larger events and shows.
Downer originated as a CSIRO agricultural research site in the 1930s and was used for opium poppy cultivation during World War II. The area retains large pine and gum trees planted as windbreaks, and a bronze kangaroo sculpture was installed in 2019 near the local shopping centre.
The site sits on calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, overlain by Quaternary alluvium, reflecting the limestone plains that gave Canberra its original name.
The refurbished Downer shopping centre, which now includes a café and a veterinary clinic, is a short walk away, and the larger Dickson Centre (≈1.1 km) offers additional retail and dining choices.
Downer is bounded by Northbourne Avenue, Antill Street and Philip Avenue, providing convenient road access to surrounding areas.
