8 Berry Street is a stand‑alone house. It offers two bedrooms and sits on a generous 700 m² block.
The property occupies 700 square metres of land, providing ample outdoor space for a garden or other uses.
The house is in the suburb of Downer, an inner‑north Canberra neighbourhood bounded by Northbourne Avenue, Antill Street and Philip Avenue.
Swinden Street Metro station is about 0.4 km away and the Dickson Interchange, another Metro hub, is roughly 0.5 km from the home.
Within a 1 km radius you’ll find the Dickson Library (≈0.3 km), the Dickson Centre shopping precinct (≈0.4 km), the National Hockey Centre (≈0.9 km) and St Ninian’s Church (≈0.9 km).
Downer developed from a 1930s CSIRO agricultural research site, which even grew opium poppies during World War II. The original CSIRO buildings and surrounding pine and gum windbreaks still influence the suburb’s character.
The area sits on calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, overlain by Quaternary alluvium – the limestone foundations that gave Canberra its early name, “Limestone Plains.”
Federally, Downer is part of the electorate of Canberra and is represented by Alicia Payne of the Labor Party. In the ACT Legislative Assembly, it falls within the Kurrajong electorate.
