13 Banfield Street, Downer, ACT, 2602, Australia

Just like in the film, Field of Dreams, this is where your dream home becomes reality! The owners have done all the hard work for you, presenting a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom turn-key property, with fresh paint throughout, brand new carpets, and beautifully refreshed gardens. This character-filled retreat offers the ideal combination of mid-century style, comfort, and a clever design built for both entertainment and relaxation-plus the year-round comfort of reverse cycle heating and cooling.

This light-filled home greets you with wonderful street appeal, featuring lush greenery, camellias, and pebble pathways - something my current owners will miss about this home is the presence of a friendly owl that often perches in the palm trees! It all ties into the serenity and the privacy this house has to offer.

Inside, discover an inviting open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area, designed to make hosting a breeze. The living room boasts lovely views of the camellias outside, with double doors that open to a stunning back verandah. Whether you're enjoying the shade or basking in the sun, this outdoor space is perfect for family gatherings or quiet afternoons.

The heart of the home is the spacious kitchen, thoughtfully updated with a 5-burner stove and large oven, modern range hood, and stylish wooden bench tops. A large island stone bench provides ample storage and prep space, while the kitchen's big picture window overlooks the expansive backyard-ideal for keeping an eye on the kids or pets while you cook.

On the other side of the home is the peaceful sleeping wing. The generously sized main bedroom features hanging lamps, built-in mirrored wardrobes, and a dressing space with floor-to-ceiling windows offering private views of the greenery outside. A renovated ensuite adds a touch of modern luxury. Two spacious bedrooms one with built-in robes share a central bathroom with a separate toilet for added convenience.

The large 801m block offers extensive gardens front and back of the property with plenty of room to grow and unwind. You can also enjoy secure single car garage and storage shed, and space for multiple cars on the driveway.

The location is unbeatable! Just a 5-minute walk to the Phillip Avenue tram station connects you to Canberra's city centre or Gungahlin in minutes. The newly upgraded Dickson Shopping Centre and China-town is nearby, offering some of the best restaurants, cafes, and grocery stores. Plus you're only a short walk from the ever popular Gang Gang Cafe and Bar at the Downer shops next to the local playground and sports ovals. And just a 6-minute drive to Ainslie's popular shops, where you can enjoy a meal at Edgar's Inn or grab a takeaway from Canteen. School Catchment zones are Lyneham primary amp; high school, Ainslie primary, Majura primary school, Shirley Smith high school, Gungahlin College, Dickson College, Rosary Primary School and Daramalan College. And close to both the ACT Netball Centre, Lyneham Hockey Centre, and Yowani Golf Club.
