Stylish living in a brilliant location!

A sequence of high set windows and walls of glass welcome a flow of natural light, capturing the sun as it moves throughout the day. This organic connection is continued as multiple panels of glass sliders open the home to the outside and alfresco dining beneath a sheltering pergola.

This spacious three-bedroom ensuite townhouse is arrayed across two levels, captures elevated views and enjoys excellent proportions, with lofty voids that gift an airy pleasure. The home is ideally placed, within a quiet pocket just moments from the bustling Dickson precinct and a light rail ride away from Braddon and the CBD.

A private driveway ushers past neat rows of terraces, no.5 placed second from the end and offering a large double garage with auto door and internal access. There is dedicated visitor parking in the complex and a lovely curation of sheltering maples, liliaropes, flowering lavender and roses.

The complex has a lovely street presence, with its overlapping concrete planes and high walls that create a private avenue, ushering to an equally impressive over-sized timber door. Within broad timber plank flooring feels organic underfoot and there is a soothing simplicity to the paired back palette, with its white on white, softened by consistent pops of warming oak.

There is a welcoming foyer with a ribbon window that welcomes natural light and begins and immediate dialogue with the outside. There is also ready access to and from the large double garage

The kitchen has a white welcoming simplicity with its long island floating in place and its endless cupboards and drawers. We love the round button handles, their blush of pink oak, echoing the choice of timber in the powder rooms and bathrooms.

Living and cooking is openly conversational, extending to the outdoors with soft lawns and a growing formal hedge. This way outdoors and indoors are naturally woven together, extending the home, embracing the essential rewards of being together within the natural elements and without the care of a large garden.

Upstairs is three peaceful bedrooms, all with soft carpets and elevated aspects. The master bedroom connects to a large ensuite with a generous shower space and floating oak vanity. Bedroom three captures the mountains and all bedrooms have built-in-robes for seamless storage. The family bathroom is concordantly finished with floor-to-ceiling tiling in crisp white and has the distinction of a bathtub and a very generous walk-in-shower room. There is also the convenience of a European laundry downstairs and separate powder rooms on both levels.

The home is moments from all the shopping, eating and drinking experiences of the Dickson precinct. Downer shops and the popular, Gang Gang caf?, one of the few intimate venues remaining, showcasing celebrated and innovative musicians and hosting sociable trivia nights and fab flea markets is close to hand. Braddon is not far with its mix of boutique shops, restaurants and bars. And the area is rich in parklands with Downer playing fields, Melba Street Park, Downer Micro-Forest and the walking trails, all close to hand. The home is walking distance of a great choice of schools and transport, including the light rail, whisking you straight to the CBD.
