Watson ACT 2602

There is a relaxed Mediterranean feel to this little enclave of villas, with their roughly trowelled walls, earthy tones and distinct dotting of square and circular windows. This lovely home is arrayed across two levels and forges a wonderful connection to its peaceful surrounds. Sleeping is privately arranged on the top level, leaving the social arenas to occupy the whole of the ground level, perfect for robust family life and entertaining.

The enviable, inner-north locale places you within walking distance of Watson shops and the fresh food markets. The dynamic Dickson precinct is nearby, and it is minutes to the CBD. Buttery yellow walls, distinctive brick trimmed arches, terracotta roof add to the distinctive charm. A private driveway ushers to garage with internal access.

High courtyard walls privatise and enclose the leafy front courtyard garden creating a tranquil pocket, and lovely entry sequence. Within, it is all space and light, as a large living arena is lit by a wall of glass bricks and a picture window frames botanical views.

This is a flexible space, easily accommodating a large table, deep comfy lounges, and ideal for both cheerful social gatherings and quiet family togetherness.

The adjoining kitchen is all light and bright, with warm timber cabinetry and easy-care worktops. There is a nice open sociability with the family/meals area, spilling to alfresco terrace and the green oasis beyond. It is easy to imagine, lively mealtimes with free flowing chatter or drift to relaxed sun-soaked alfresco dining.

The intimate wing occupies the whole of the top level and captures treetop views. The master opening onto a private balcony with lovely curved architectural lines.

There is a wall of built-in-robes and an ensuite bathroom. Two additional bedrooms, both with built-in-storage, centre around a family bathroom with tub and separate toilet. Both bathrooms are finished in white tiling with pretty borders and feature tiling in organic hues. The family bathroom has a round window, a distinctive and playful feature that contributes to the soft, earthy vibe that permeates the entire home.

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, fabulous pizza at The Knox, or dine out at the Filipino eatery, Lola and Lola. The home is a nice stroll to Exhibition Park, host to the famous Farmer's Market. Majura Nature Reserve is nearby, and the home is just a stone's throw from the Dickson 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.
