The property sits on a 910 m² land area, offering ample space for gardens, outdoor living or future development.
The house is within walking distance of the Dickson District Playing Fields (about 0.3 km) and the nearby Dickson Wetland (approximately 0.4 km). Parks such as Calvert Park and Bill Pye Park are also just over a kilometre away.
The refurbished Downer shopping centre, which now includes a cafe and a veterinary clinic, is roughly 0.4 km away. The Dickson Centre precinct and the Quality Hotel Dickson, both offering eateries and services, are each about 0.9 km from the property.
The nearest bus shelter at Officer Crescent is about 1.0 km away, and the Swinden Street Canberra Metro station is approximately 1.2 km from the house, providing convenient access to the city’s transit network.
Downer sits on calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, overlain by Quaternary alluvium. This limestone‑based geology reflects the original “Limestone Plains” name of Canberra.
The area was originally an agricultural research facility for the CSIRO in the 1930s and was used for opium poppy cultivation during World War II. Many of the large pine and gum trees surrounding the local shops were planted then as windbreaks, and a bronze kangaroo sculpture was unveiled in the shopping centre in May 2019.
