213 Atherton Street, Downer, ACT 2602

Large living areas, flooded with light, continuous with extensive entertaining space, are standout features of this tastefully renovated, craftsman-built home. Neat hedging screens the home and ensures a private outlook over entertaining area and gardens. 

The home is situated in an enviable, quiet Inner North location, only metres from Gang Gang cafe and just a short walk to Watson shops, Majura and Rosary Primary Schools, Dickson College, oval, swimming pool and the Australian Catholic University. A wide choice of restaurants and shopping in Dickson, and light rail, are a comfortable stroll!

Comprehensively renovated in recent times, it was originally constructed in double brick by a German builder as his own home. Quality is reflected throughout, especially in the generous dimensions of all living areas and bedrooms, and the high ceilings. European influences, such as timber lined eaves and beautiful parquetry flooring add to character, and complemented by quality renovation, have created a stylish and comfortable home. 

Attractive timber gates open to reveal the sunny, expansive entertaining area, creating a welcoming first impression. This is sheltered by a sturdy pergola draped in fragrant wisteria in spring, complemented by a camellia, white hydrangeas and a striking grass plant.

The inviting entry opens into the generous lounge and open plan living area. Smart Roman blinds furnish the wall of glass, with double doors onto the entertaining area. The dining room would accommodate a large setting and could be used flexibly as a family room. 

The impressive, updated kitchen showcases a huge area of white Caesarstone benchtop with a breakfast bar and quality appliances including Neff microwave, oven and grill, an induction cooktop, Miele dishwasher and double pantries. The wide window features a planter box, currently planted with delightful blooms, or perhaps herbs as preferred.

The large laundry has storage and a pet flap.

Ducted reverse cycle air conditioning can be zoned between living areas and bedrooms, ensuring comfort while solar hot water saves energy.

Hardwood parquetry flooring continues up the hallway into the generously proportioned bedrooms. These feature high ceilings and wide windows furnished with timber blinds, and all have a private outlook. The primary bedroom is bathed in afternoon sunlight and features a wall of modern built-in robes. Other bedrooms are also fitted with new robes and the thoughtfully updated bathroom offers a bath, shower and separate w/c.

Tall timber gates securely enclose the rear garden, which includes grassy playspace, an orange tree, veggie area, water tank and a garden shed.

The brick garage is fitted with an auto door and has workshop space at the rear, while a second driveway provides parking for a number of additional vehicles. 

An elegant home and lifestyle awaits, in the best location!
