83 Price Pl, Downer ACT 2602

Resting on a cul-de-sac, not far from Melba St Park and the famous Gang Gang Café and Bar, the home is ideally placed within a quiet pocket of the dynamic inner north. It is an easy stroll to the Dickson Precinct and moments to the exciting shops and restaurants of Braddon.

Treasured Canberra reds, terracotta roof and banks of crisp white timber casement windows paint a pretty picture. An ancient blue spruce shelters and shades, bountiful garden beds edge soft lawn, with a brick flower box neatly trimming the covered porch. The original front door with centred handle opens to a small, tiled space with handsome integrated joinery - a pleasing nook to hang winter coats…a lovely pause as you enter the home.

An open living and dining area frames garden views to both east and west, ensuring a continuous stream of warming light. Original corner cabinetry is the perfect spot for displaying well-chosen objects…the whole home a superb stage for mid-century furniture, gorgeous textiles, and art.

Banks of avocado green cabinets, ribboned glass shelving and a large picture window fill the kitchen with colour, heart-warming vintage appeal. With its picture-perfect views to pops of lime green foliage, and easy merge to alfresco dining, it really is the cheery heart of the home.

Timber joinery injects the master bedroom with vintage flair and there is the convenience of an ensuite bathroom. Flowing to second living area, this quiet space could be opened up or kept how it is…either way it would make a wonderful parent's retreat. A mid-century built-in-cabinet occupies one wall and there is romantic drift via glass sliders to the dappled shade of the garden.

A trio of welcoming bedrooms take in the colours and textures of the outdoors via large picture windows. All three bedrooms are amenable to the family bathroom and separate toilet. The original bathroom is a celebration of its era with its pink pedestal basin and tub, shell wall hung soap holders and original mosaic tiles in a mix of baby blues and silvery grey.

Downer is an established, family-friendly suburb, with ample green spaces and close proximity to the lively Dickson and Braddon precincts. The home is close to Downer playing fields, Melba Street Park, and Downer Micro-Forest. The local Downer shops are not far, with local favourites including - Gang Gang Café and Bar and the recently opened Cranky's bike shop. The home is walking distance to schools and transport, including the light rail, whisking you straight to the CBD, which is an easy 13 minutes by car.
