97 Antill Street, Downer ACT 2602, Australia
It is a house featuring three bedrooms and sits on a 710 m² block of land.
The property lies in Downer, an inner‑north Canberra suburb bounded by Northbourne Avenue, Antill Street and Philip Avenue.
Downer was originally a CSIRO agricultural research facility; between 1939‑1945 it cultivated opium poppy for medical supplies and the surrounding pine and gum trees were planted as windbreaks during that era.
The site sits on calcareous shales of the Canberra Formation, which are overlain by Quaternary alluvium – the limestone that gave Canberra its original name "Limestone Plains".
Federally, Downer is in the electorate of Canberra, represented by Alicia Payne of the Labor Party. In the ACT Legislative Assembly it is part of the Kurrajong electorate.
Within 0.4‑0.9 km you’ll find Dickson Library (0.4 km), Dickson District Playing Fields (0.5 km), Dickson Wetland (0.6 km), Quality Hotel Dickson (0.6 km), Dickson Centre (0.6 km) and the Dickson Interchange metro station (0.9 km).
The Downer shopping centre was refurbished in the late 2010s, adding a new café and veterinary clinic, and a bronze kangaroo sculpture was installed in May 2019.
