Opportunity knocks in the heights of Watson!
This vintage three-bedroom home has been updated and extended and occupies a tranquil position on Irvine Street. The lovely scope of the home and its grounds tempting the imagination…think a wish list for family living. It is easy to imagine a re-jigging of the plan, adding a palatial master wing, forging bigger and better connections to the garden, or making the most of the glorious position to realise the house of your dreams.
The home is wonderfully liveable with the separate living room having easy access to the contemporary kitchen making day to day living a breeze. We love the open, chatty vibe and the golden timber look floors that glow in the sunshine. Comfy couches can be arranged beneath the big front window, so you can chill in the warming northern light. The extension delivers the addition of a dining space and a second living area, opening onto a large, sheltered deck, perfect for entertaining.
There is a trio of peaceful bedrooms with big windows and garden views. The family bathroom is finished in crisp white and there is a relaxing bathtub and the convenience of a separate toilet. There is also an internal laundry with direct garden access and good storage within the linen cupboard. The garden wraps around the entire home only interrupted by a long driveway.
Watson is a vibrant, inner-north suburb with great community vibes, fabulous local shops, plenty of playgrounds and parks and surrounded by natural reserves. The home is moments from Watson shops and primary school. Enjoy great coffee, fabulous pizza at The Knox, or dine out at the Filipino eatery, Lola and Lola. It is not far to Dickson shops, host to an array of international cuisines. Majura Nature Reserve is nearby, and the home is edged by interconnecting green spaces. It is not far to the dynamic Braddon precinct, ANU and the CBD. The home is also convenient to a mix of private and public schools, close to transport, including the light rail, linking you to the metro city station and the whole of Canberra.
