21 Cole Street, Downer.
Established Elegance on a Rare Inner North Landholding
Hidden behind beautifully established gardens on an expansive 922sqm parcel in one of Downer's most tightly held pockets, this meticulously maintained residence delivers a rare combination of timeless character, modern comfort and exceptional lifestyle appeal. Lovingly cared for over more than twenty years, this is a home that has been thoughtfully maintained and carefully improved throughout its life. Built to last and consistently looked after, it has never required significant structural remediation. Every improvement has been made to enhance comfort, functionality and everyday living, giving the next owners the confidence to simply move in and enjoy. The generous living and dining spaces form the heart of the home, creating a warm and welcoming environment for family life and entertaining. The beautifully renovated kitchen features quality Electrolux appliances, an induction cooktop, a self-cleaning oven and exceptional storage, combining practicality with contemporary style. Comfort has always been a priority. Full double glazing, ducted reverse-cycle heating and cooling, and a substantial slow-combustion fireplace work together to create a home that is wonderfully warm through Canberra's winters and comfortably cool in summer. Designed with energy efficiency in mind, the home offers impressive year-round comfort while keeping running costs low. The spacious main bedroom is a peaceful retreat, complete with its own renovated ensuite, built-in wardrobes and a sitting area. The remaining bedrooms are all generously proportioned with built-in wardrobes, providing flexibility for growing families, guests or those working from home. A beautifully renovated main bathroom with floor-to-ceiling tiles and a full-sized bath completes the accommodation. Outdoors, the established gardens have been lovingly nurtured to create a series of inviting spaces for every stage of family life. Mature trees provide shade throughout summer and create a beautiful natural microclimate, while the expansive backyard offers exceptional privacy and space for children, pets and entertaining. Gather friends around the fire pit, watch children enjoy the cubby house and lawn, or simply relax amongst gardens that come alive with colour each spring. The oversized garage provides valuable storage well beyond everyday parking, making it ideal for tools, hobbies, sporting equipment or long-term storage. Positioned moments from local cafés, schools, parks and the vibrant Dickson precinct, the location combines peaceful suburban living with outstanding convenience. Daily amenities are within walking distance, most destinations across Canberra are approximately twenty minutes away, and nearby parks and off-leash areas make this an exceptional location for families and dog owners alike. Beyond the lifestyle on offer today, the substantial 922sqm landholding represents a significant Inner North asset. Large blocks of this size are becoming increasingly scarce, offering privacy, space and exciting long-term potential for future redevelopment or subdivision, subject to the necessary approvals. This is more than a beautifully presented house. It is a home that has been genuinely loved, carefully maintained and enjoyed through every season. It is now ready for its next family to add their own style, create new memories and enjoy everything this remarkable property has to offer. * 4 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms | Single car garage * EER 6 Stars * All electric home * Situated on a 922sqm block * 137sqm of internal living (approx.) * Double glazing throughout * Ducted reverse cycle heating and cooling * Large slow-combustion fireplace capable of heating the main living areas including 0.5 tonne of fire wood provided * Renovated kitchen with premium Electrolux appliances, induction cooktop, self-cleaning oven and abundant storage * Spacious open plan living and dining areas * Master suite complete with built-in wardrobes and vanity, additional space for seating, and a renovated private ensuite * Additional bedrooms all offering built-in wardrobes * Beautifully renovated main bathroom complete with a bath and floor-to-ceiling tiles * Functional laundry with external access * Established gardens with mature trees, seasonal colour and exceptional privacy * Intricate rear garden space with multiple outdoor entertaining spaces including a fire pit * Cubby house and expansive lawn for children and pets * Secluded front yard with lined garden beds and mature shrubs * Single car garage with manual door * Walking distance to cafés, schools, parks and local amenities * Minutes to the Dickson precinct and approximately twenty minutes to most of Canberra * Rare opportunity to secure a substantial Inner North landholding with outstanding long-term potential Rates: $5,368pa (approx.)
