41 Legge Street, Downer ACT 2602, Australia
41 Legge Street is a house situated on a 915 m² land parcel. It offers the space of a typical suburban home in Downer.
The property sits on 915 square metres of land, providing a generous garden or development area within the inner‑north suburb of Canberra.
Downer is an inner‑north suburb of Canberra, bounded by Northbourne Avenue, Antill Street and Philip Avenue. The suburb was gazetted in 1960 and is named after Sir John Downer.
Within roughly 0.5–1 km you’ll find the Dickson Library (0.6 km), Swinden Street Metro station (0.7 km), the Dickson Centre precinct (0.7 km), Quality Hotel Dickson (0.8 km) and the Dickson District Playing Fields (0.8 km).
The Downer community centre and shops were originally built for the CSIRO in the 1930s and the site served as an agricultural research facility, even growing opium poppy during World War II. Large pine and gum trees were planted then as a windbreak, many of which have since been replaced.
Downer rests on calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, overlain by Quaternary alluvium. This limestone‑based geology reflects Canberra’s historic title of “Limestone Plains.”
The property lies in the federal electorate of Canberra, represented by Alicia Payne of the Labor Party. In the ACT Legislative Assembly it is part of the Kurrajong electorate, which elects two Labor, one Green, one Liberal and one Independent member.
