23 Banfield Street is a detached house situated on a 694 m² block of land.
The property sits on a 694 m² land parcel, providing ample space for the dwelling and outdoor areas.
The house is in the inner‑north suburb of Downer, Canberra, which is bounded by Northbourne Avenue, Antill Street and Philip Avenue.
Within roughly 1 km you’ll find Phillip Avenue (0.4 km), Canberra Racecourse (0.8 km), Exhibition Park in Canberra (0.8 km), the National Folk Festival site (1.0 km), and the historic Downer shopping centre with its café and veterinary clinic.
The Swinden Street Metro station is about 0.9 km away, EPIC and Racecourse light‑rail station is roughly 1.2 km distant, and the Dickson Interchange is around 1.4 km from the property.
Downer rests on calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, overlain by Quaternary alluvium – the limestone base that gave Canberra its original name “Limestone Plains.”
The suburb developed around a 1930s CSIRO research facility that once grew opium poppies during WWII; nearby trees were originally planted as windbreaks, and a bronze kangaroo sculpture was unveiled in 2019 at the local shopping centre.
