The property features four bedrooms and two bathrooms, providing ample space for a family or guests.
The house sits on a 743 m² block, offering a generous garden area within the inner‑north suburb of Downer.
Downer was originally an agricultural research site for the CSIRO, and during World War II it operated as a plantation for opium poppy to supply medication when imports were unavailable.
The site is situated on calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, which are overlain by Quaternary alluvium, reflecting the area's original “Limestone Plains” geology.
The nearest Canberra Metro station is on Swinden Street, located about 1–2 km from the house, providing easy access to the wider city.
The Dickson District Playing Fields (≈0.7 km) and the Dickson Wetland (≈1 km) are nearby, offering space for sports, walks, and wildlife observation.
Within roughly 1–2 km you’ll find the Dickson Library, Exhibition Park, and the Dickson Centre precinct, giving access to shopping, dining, and community events.
