It is a standalone house offering three bedrooms and one bathroom. The property also includes a single garage and sits on a 694 m² block.
The lot measures approximately 694 square metres, providing ample space for a garden or outdoor activities. This size is typical for homes in the inner‑north suburb of Downer.
The Swinden Street Metro station is about 0.4 km away, and the Dickson Interchange, another Metro hub, is roughly 0.5 km from the property. Both stations give easy access to Canberra’s light‑rail network.
The Dickson Centre, a retail precinct, lies around 0.4 km away, while the local Downer shopping centre, recently refurbished with a new café and veterinary clinic, is situated within the suburb. The Quality Hotel Dickson, offering dining options, is about 0.5 km from the house.
Residents can enjoy the Downer local oval surrounded by Frencham, Melba, Bonython and Bradfield Streets. Additional options include the National Hockey Centre (≈0.9 km) and the Dickson District Playing Fields (≈1.1 km).
In May 2019 a bronze kangaroo sculpture was unveiled at the Downer shopping centre, replacing a previous piece that had gone missing. The surrounding area also features mature pine and gum trees planted during the 1930s CSIRO era.
The suburb sits on calcareous shales belonging to the Canberra Formation, which are overlain by Quaternary alluvium. This reflects the limestone plains that gave Canberra its original title “Limestone Plains.”
