Downes Place is one of the most sought-after locations in Hughes. This rare offering backs onto the Federal Golf Course and has direct access to Red Hill Nature Park. The distinguished four bedroom, two bathroom family residence with magnificent well-established gardens is a prized opportunity. The home has lovingly been cared for by just one family for more than 55 years and is full of character and charm.
All the rooms have lovely large windows, connecting you to the outdoors. The large living and dining, mesmerizing sun room and kitchen are all beautiful places to sit and relax or entertain. The rear garden feels never ending, a beautiful place to watch the birds in the afternoon, or children playing and exploring.
All four bedrooms are generously proportioned, wide hallways and gorgeous fittings all add to the charm of this property. The main bathroom includes a bathtub and shower, and there is a separate powder room for guests. Your comfort is guaranteed with a new central reverse cycle air conditioning system as well as underfloor ducted heating throughout the home.
Downstairs the double garage with 2.5 metre ceilings will easily accommodate 4 wheel drives. There is a large storage room under the home, with a workshop space and large laundry that has external access to the house.
This mid-century double brick home could easily be updated to create the perfect family home whilst maintaining a lot of the original features that truly make this home special.
