19 Cadell Place is a standalone house. It sits on a generous 800 m² block, providing ample outdoor space.
The home is only about 0.2 km from the heart of Downer, meaning most local amenities are within easy walking distance.
Dickson District Playing Fields are roughly 0.5 km away, providing sports courts and open fields. The Dickson Wetland and Calvert Park are each within about 1 km, offering nature trails and picnic spots.
The Downer shopping centre, recently refurbished with a café and veterinary clinic, is within the suburb. The larger Dickson Centre precinct is about 1.1 km away, offering a wider range of shops and eateries.
Swinden Street Metro station is situated approximately 1.2 km from the house, providing rapid rail connections. Several bus shelters, such as the Officer Crescent stop, are also within 1.4 km.
The site rests on calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, overlain by Quaternary alluvium. This geology reflects the historic “Limestone Plains” that gave Canberra its original name.
The local community centre and shops were originally built for the CSIRO in the 1930s and served as an opium poppy plantation during World War II. Large pine and gum trees planted at that time still provide a distinctive leafy backdrop to the area.
