52 Cadell Street

Privately set behind established gardens in one of Downer's most tightly held streets, this beautifully extended residence offers a rare combination of timeless character, architectural presence and garden immersion. Thoughtfully evolved over time, the home balances classic Canberra charm with a substantial contemporary addition - creating adaptable, light-filled spaces that feel genuinely connected to the established rear gardens and surroundings. Original features including picture rails, hardwood timber floors, and generous room proportions anchor the home's heritage, while multiple light-filled living zones provide flexibility for growing families, multi-generational arrangements or those seeking work-from-home versatility. The kitchen is both large and central - appointed with gas cooking, extensive bench space and excellent storage - positioned to effortlessly service indoor living and outdoor entertaining alike. The architectural extension introduces a striking yet harmonious contrast. Soaring ceilings, polished concrete floors, and underfloor heating create a relaxed, light-filled living and dining space. Large sliding doors open fully to an expansive covered deck, ideal for year-round entertaining overlooking the landscaped rear garden. Accommodation is equally adaptable. Four well-proportioned bedrooms are supported by a flexible floorplan that allows for a potential fifth bedroom, study, home office or additional sitting room. The master suite is privately positioned, complete with generous robe storage, a well-appointed ensuite and direct deck access - offering a peaceful retreat within the home. The main bathroom has been tastefully renovated, incorporating quality finishes and underfloor heating to deliver everyday comfort with a considered, modern edge. Outdoors, the gardens feel both established and purposeful. A considered mix of natives and exotics provides privacy and seasonal colour, while paved sitting areas, a dedicated fire pit zone and four large raised vegetable beds create spaces to gather, unwind and grow. Automated irrigation ensures the landscape remains easy to maintain throughout the seasons. With extensive storage including multiple sheds and a workshop positioned behind the oversized double carport, strong energy efficiency credentials and excellent proximity to Downer and Dickson shops, cafés, schools and transport, this is a home that delivers lifestyle, flexibility and long-term comfort in equal measure.
