Enjoy walks or a bike ride on Mount Majura, whilst being just moments from the City!
Positioned directly opposite the green belt this lovely four-bedroom home effortlessly blends the charms of its vintage pedigree with thoughtful modern luxuries. There is a lovely feeling of serenity, soul and potential, as spacious grounds surround the house and a little garden studio gazes out over the camellias.
The home has a welcoming feeling from the get-go with its formal front fencing in a combo of brick and black wrought iron, auto-gate and deep frontage. The form is solid in red brick and features big white windows and a tiled rooftop. A driveway travels down the side of the house to a double garage set deep within the block. And the locale is perfection - old Watson, handy to schools, parklands, shops, and not far to the dynamic Dickson and Braddon hubs plus the CBD.
The front living area is centred around a stone hearth set with a gas heater, making a warm focal and gathering point. A big window overlooks the front terrace and welcomes the morning light and a lovely leafy outlook. Sliding doors can be closed for privacy and there is a nice open flow into the kitchen/combined meals area beyond.
Generous bench space, ample storage, a dishwasher and a soft neutral palette effortlessly provide functionality. There is an adjacent step-in-pantry and the convenience of a nearby separate toilet, which is perfect for guests when entertaining. Imagine an easy drift into the expanse of the rear garden where you can enjoy long lunches as the kids run amuck.
There are four excellent bedrooms, all have big windows allowing the light to pour in whilst the master bedroom features a wall of built-in robes. The bathroom has been gorgeously renovated and features soft grey tiled flooring set against crisp whites. There is a big relaxing bathtub, a soothing rain shower and a wall-hung vanity.
The garden studio has all the charm of a tiny house with its large deck and interior clad with fresh smelling cypress pine. There is a roomy loft which is great for storage and big windows that float you amidst the serenity of the garden. Think working from home, craft studio, or the ideal haven for an older child.
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. Enjoy great coffee and fabulous pizza at The Knox, or dine out at the Filipino eatery, Lola and Lola. It is not far to Hackett, Ainslie and Dickson with its array of international cuisines. Majura Nature Reserve is nearby, and the home is just a short drive from the 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.
