The house features four bedrooms, providing ample space for a family or home office setup.
It sits on a 604 m² block, offering a generous garden area typical of Downer’s inner‑north suburb lots.
The property is about 0.4 km from the Canberra Metro station on Swinden Street and roughly 0.9 km from the Dickson Interchange, giving easy access to the city’s train and bus network.
Within 1 km you’ll find the Dickson Library, the Dickson Centre precinct, and the National Hockey Centre, as well as a nearby cafe and veterinary clinic in the refurbished Downer shopping centre.
Downer was originally a CSIRO agricultural research site in the 1930s, later used for opium poppy cultivation during World War II, and many of its large pine and gum trees date from that era.
The suburb sits on calcareous shales of the Canberra Formation, overlain by Quaternary alluvium, reflecting the limestone plains that gave Canberra its early name.
