WatsonAuction 11:30am Saturday 2 May

Sitting nicely in a quiet, friendly cul-de-sac so close to nature yet just moments from the city!

Canberra reds curve through shade dappled lawns to this lovely home sitting behind gorgeous front gardens that are sheltered by a magnificent Manchurian pear tree. The studio at the back is a wonderful contemporary addition with its modern architectural look blending beautifully within the suburban landscape.

A beautiful renovation has breathed new life into this striking 1960’s home, fusing the old with the new, while preserving an organic transparency and balance. Serving up three bedrooms and a wonderful connection to outdoors, the home speaks of peaceful family life, effortless entertaining and the joy of expansive flat lawns and easy-care established gardens.

Step inside this light filled home and be instantly captivated by the feel and warmth it exudes. The upgraded kitchen is white on white and delivers an elegant Scandi appeal. Think timeless subway tiling, lots of clever cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and open drift to a renovated laundry that takes you directly to the deck and gardens. Polished timber floors flow underfoot and there is a welcoming open feel, with enough space for a big dining table, set beneath the windows.

The living area is saturated in northern light with a wall of casement windows delivering a sunroom effect, perfect for cosy winter days. From here there is a direct spill to a large deck and out to the expansive lawn…imagine the kids playing and enjoying summer garden parties beneath the gorgeous mix of established trees – melaleuca, fig and citrus. To one side the delight of a delicate native rockery, complete with frog pond.

The studio has a gentle Nordic vibe with its golden ply lining, dynamic raked ceilings and a big, fixed window that frames the garden like a moving/changing artwork. This airy yet cosy space adds a wonderful, flexible dimension to the lived experience. Think spacious home office, spill-over guest accommodation, teen hang or meditative studio…the choice is all yours.

Watson is a vibrant, inner-north suburb with great community vibes, fabulous local shops, plenty of playgrounds and parks and is surrounded by natural reserves. The Farmers Markets, Majura Pond, the off-leash dog area and Mount Majura Nature Reserve are all so close. You are also just a short drive from the Braddon and Dickson precincts, ANU and the CBD whilst being within walking distance to a mix of private and public schools and transport, including the light rail, linking you to the metro city station and the whole of Canberra.
