Perfect position in this fun complex!

This peaceful two-bedder delivers on space and serenity and forges a wonderful connection to the outdoors. Big muntin windows and glass doors welcome light and frame the leafy landscape. Living spaces spill to long balconies, maximising the old world feel of the endless grounds.

The pace of life seems to slow, the lived experience informed by the presence of the bush and the gorgeous, curated gardens. Think a great community, shared swimming pool and afternoon games of tennis. No wonder Karelia Park has such a following, it’s the perfect combo of village meets retreat, meets cool urban lifestyle.

No.7 is tucked away within a leafy corner and enjoys a privatising elevation with lovely views. It’s a true sanctuary from the hustle and bustle, yet within arm’s reach of the enticing Dickson and Braddon precincts, a short light rail ride from the CBD.

A big living room sits adjacent with glass sliders that open to the balcony, so you can hang among the trees, drink in hand, watching the sun set colour the sky. The central kitchen is well designed and nicely conversational across the dining/second living area. Here glass sliders open wide, extending the space to the deep balcony that overlooks leafy trees. This sheltered area reads like an outdoor room, fit for dining and lounging alfresco no matter the weather.

We love the balanced plan that sequesters the master bedroom to the west, delivering bedside views across the central gardens. There is a built-in-robe for seamless storage and a big ensuite bathroom with a relaxing spa bath. The second bedroom has a built-in-robe and sits adjacent to the family bathroom which cleverly includes an internal laundry. Both bathrooms are finished in soothing neutrals, with cute terracotta patterned borders and serve up big vanities, providing great storage. Tech upgrades – WIFI hub, data points, security cameras – make it easy to work from home and there is also the convenience of secure basement parking with storage.

Watson is a vibrant, inner-north suburb with great community vibes and fabulous local shops – enjoy great coffee, fabulous pizza at The Knox, or dine out at the Filipino eatery, Lola and Lola. The home is a nice stroll to Exhibition Park, host to the famous Farmer’s Market. The Dickson and Braddon precincts, ANU and the CBD are all close to hand. Maliyan park and playground is within walking distance and the home is also convenient to a mix of private and public schools and also close to transport, including the light rail, linking you to the metro city station and the whole of Canberra.
