Expansive gardens and touches of playful colour give this three bedroom home plenty of personality. Sitting on a peaceful street in the heart of the inner north, the home brings together a sense of nostalgia and thoughtful details, creating a welcoming place for modern family life.
The frontage is deep and well planted, with colourful lavender and roses. It creates a lovely garden outlook that is framed by a large window in the light filled front living area. Sunlight reaches the kitchen combined meals area which looks across the north easterly backyard. Here bench seating allows you to come together for relaxed family meals, enjoying the openness of the kitchen. We love the lemon tree framing the window, the soft green work tops, the excellent storage including a large pantry and the quality all electric appliances including a dishwasher.
A central hallway delivers you to three peaceful bedrooms, all with robes and leafy outlooks. The family bathroom has been beautifully renovated, We love the soft coral concrete basin from Bink, the fluted vanity and the floor to ceiling tiling in gentle patterned grey. There is a walk in rain shower and the added comfort of heated floors.
The refreshed laundry is equally considered, with great storage, a timber work top and subway tiling. The soft pink door leads outside to the sheltered deck, creating an easy connection with the backyard. Here you can spend time with family and friends, watching the kids play on the lawn and enjoying fresh vegetables from the raised garden beds. On cooler evenings, the fire pit provides a spot to sit outside, toast marshmallows and enjoy the space and privacy of the garden.
Higinbotham is one of those lovely Watson streets that winds past schools and parkland and feels peaceful despite its well connected location. The home is a few steps from Rosary Primary School and the inner north play space, adventure park, moments from Watson shops and the Dickson precinct. The location is also close to reserves, cafes, Braddon and the CBD.
Watson is a vibrant inner north suburb with a strong community feel, local shops, playgrounds, parks and easy access to natural reserves. Enjoy coffee and pizza at The Knox, or dine out at the Filipino eatery, Lola and Lola. Dickson shops are nearby, with an array of international cuisines, while Majura Nature Reserve, Ainslie shops, ANU and the CBD are all within easy reach. The home is also convenient to a mix of private and public schools and close to transport, including the light rail connecting you with the city and greater Canberra.
