Overview

Star light, star bright... I wish for an truly oversized home priced just right.

Tired of fighting for street parking and pretending your tiny balcony counts as “outdoor living”? Say hello to this freshly refreshed, light-filled first-floor apartment in the sought-after Starlight complex, tucked away in a leafy pocket of Watson, yet still dangerously close to everything good in life. Step inside and you’re greeted by a bright, spacious open-plan living and dining area that flows straight out to a generous balcony, the perfect stage for your morning coffee ritual, sunset happy hours, or chillin’ amongst the trees The contemporary kitchen is functional: stone benchtops, big pantry, quality stainless-steel appliances, and enough storage to hide all your impulse Amazon purchases. Both bedrooms are genuinely well-sized with built-in robes. The main has its own private ensuite so you can avoid awkward hallway negotiations in the mornings. The boring but brilliant stuff: • Reverse-cycle air conditioning (because Canberra weather is chaotic) • North-east aspect for that glorious morning light • Two secure side-by-side underground car spaces + separate storage unit (yes, you can finally park like an adult) • Full-height tiling and a proper bathtub in the main bathroom Starlight perks: beautifully maintained gardens, a sparkling residents’ swimming pool, and ease of car, pedestrian and visitor access. Perfectly positioned for real life moments from Dickson & Watson shops, EPIC Farmers Market, Mount Majura trails, light rail, and a quick zip into the City. Perfect for: • First-home buyers who want style without the mortgage panic • Downsizers who still want space and soul • Investors looking for a low-maintenance, easily rentable winner ($550–$570pw) Property Details (approx): • Living: 92sqm • Balcony: 13sqm • Rates: $2,034pa • Land tax: $2553pa • Strata: $7,489pa • Built: 2003 • 2 side-by-side car spaces • Basement storage room • Periodic tenancy at $549pw – live in buyers can have vacant possession with 60 day settlement – tenants would love to stay should an investor buy
