58 Phillip Avenue is a standalone house situated on a 954 m² block. The generous lot size provides ample space for gardens or outdoor activities.
A local oval bordered by Frencham, Melba, Bonython and Bradfield Streets sits nearby, and the Downer shopping centre, recently refurbished with a cafe and vet clinic, offers everyday services. A bronze kangaroo sculpture, unveiled in 2019, adds a cultural feature to the area.
Dickson District Playing Fields are about 0.9 km away, providing sports fields and open space. Exhibition Park in Canberra, a large showground and venue, is also roughly 0.9 km from the residence.
Swinden Street Metro station is approximately 1.3 km away, and the EPIC and Racecourse light‑rail station is about 1.4 km distant, giving convenient access to Canberra’s rail network.
The property sits on calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, which are overlain by Quaternary alluvium. This reflects the limestone heritage that gave Canberra its original name, "Limestone Plains."
The house is located within the federal electorate of Canberra, represented by Alicia Payne (Labor). In the ACT Legislative Assembly, it falls under the Kurrajong electorate.
Downer was originally an agricultural research site for the CSIRO, with historic pine and gum trees planted as windbreaks in the 1930s. The suburb also has a bronze kangaroo sculpture installed in 2019, replacing an earlier piece that went missing.
