A unique offering of multiple dwellings on a large established block

This is an outstanding and rare opportunity for the live-in owner who requires a studio or home office plus rental income, or for the investor with multiple dwellings to rent out. The property will appeal to a wide variety of owners.

The main residence is an original Northside house which has been extended and partially renovated, hydronic heating and a solar PV array have been added. The spacious open living area has polished timber floors and double glass doors with access to the rear garden courtyard. The light, airy kitchen has new benches, induction stove and rangehood. There are two large bedrooms - the master was originally two rooms and is now a large comfortable room with a study.

The exceptional secondary dwelling has been built by a designer/maker to a high standard throughout with the extensive use of quality recycled materials. This brick and timber free-standing building has an open plan kitchen, dining and living area, a large bedroom plus a mezzanine level which could be used as another bedroom, a compact stylish bathroom, and an external attached laundry. High raked ceilings and bamboo floating floors create a sense of light and space throughout. A large light-filled professional workshop is attached at the front.

The Studio is an incredible multi-purpose structure, 6m x 6m internally with sliding glass walls on two sides that can be opened onto the gardens and adjacent fish pond. Timber/glass doors and an extended alcove make up the Eastern wall, and high windows that can be shuttered internally run along the full length of the Southern-street side. A floating hardwood timber floor and a state-of-the-art track lighting system complete the picture.

Established gardens surround the property with various spaces to just sit and appreciate the bush like setting, or entertain guests.
This is a rare opportunity to purchase a large parcel of land in an excellent location close to shops, schools, parks and public transport, located in a quiet street in the Inner North suburb of Downer.

Must be experienced to be truly appreciated.
