Auction Location: On site.

This charming 1960′s 2 storey, full brick duplex is primed for a revival and with a location like this, it’s going to appeal to the masses. From first home buyers through to investors, those who are looking for an entry level opportunity with potential.

Common throughout Canberra’s inner northern suburbs, 2 storey duplexes like this one are being reinvented and revived. There’s scope here to create something great! The proximity to highly desirable amenities, and the gentrification of the area means the potential for growth here is significant. There’s room for a remodel and extension should you wish to do so (subject to approval), but in the meantime, move in and enjoy while you plan. The home is light, bright and airy and it offers ample backyard space for kids to play or for entertaining with friends.

As it stands the home is light-filled and cozy. The two bedrooms are surprisingly big and the bathroom is fresh and new thanks to a 2012 renovation. The original kitchen has a new timber bench top and the North-facing backyard is a beautiful little spot for morning coffee or Friday night drinks and has your very own home grown pantry with established, raised veggie beds. Comfort year-round is sorted with reverse cycle air conditioning and mains gas heating downstairs and evaporative ducted cooling throughout. Low-maintenance double glazed aluminium windows, thermal Honeycomb blinds downstairs, Roman block out blinds upstairs and recently Earthwool insulated walls and ceiling help provide a better EER. To make life even easier, the body corporate is self managed with no annual fees and the insurance and water bills are split with next door.

Being one of Canberra’s most central suburbs, Downer is a great place to call home and an ideal area to settle into for an easy-going lifestyle. It’s walking distance to so many great amenities like Dickson Shops and pool, the local Ganggang Cafe is literally around the corner and the regional farmers markets is 7 minutes by car. There are 29 schools within a 5km radius making it a great place to raise a family and the rest of Canberra is within easy reach.

This duplex is ready for a bright new phase and with so much potential, you’ll need to be fast! Contact Stephen Bunday to arrange a viewing today!
