Last Listing description (January 2024)

What the owners have loved and we are sure you will too, is living in a spacious apartment with a northerly aspect and amongst the buzz of the Inner North.

Ideally positioned to take in a northerly aspect this spacious ground floor apartment has been well maintained and the owners have loved their time here calling it their first home.

Step inside and be impressed with the very generous spaces on offer. There is so much to love about this property from the oversized living and dining area that flows out to a covered entertaining courtyard/wintergarden and perfect sunroom along with the meals area has been cleverly redesigned to be a multi-purpose room or a work from home space that can be closed off from the rest of the home.

If you love to cook, then welcome to your new happy place. The kitchen has been updated with new cabinetry doors and bench tops and includes electric cooktop, under bench oven and dishwasher making clean up a breeze when entertaining family and friends.

Two generously sized bedrooms offering a restful night's sleep sit to the rear of the apartment and overlook the internal courtyard of the complex. Both bedrooms have built in robes, and the master has an ensuite for that touch of luxury. The main bathroom provides for guests and is easily accessible from the second bedroom.

Recently refreshed, new floating laminate floors have been installed and the apartment has been painted throughout so there is nothing to do but choose where your furniture will be placed and unpack your bags to start enjoying your new lifestyle.

'Starlight' is a pet-friendly complex, so your four legged friend will be very happy in their new home. The enclosed wintergarden/sunroom also has the ability to open all the doors and let the fresh air and warm winter sun flow in. This secure outdoor enclosure is also the perfect spot so your pet can while away the days whilst being safe.

If you have been looking for that first home that is well priced, and ready to move straight into, or you are a downsizer that wants the opportunity to still live spaciously, and can lock up and leave, this property is for you.
Watson is located just 7km from the centre of Canberra and is surrounded by an oasis of green with Mt Majura Nature Reserve right on your doorstep. Public transport includes buses and an easy walk to the Light Rail. If you are looking for an experience on Saturday, head to the Farmer's Markets at EPIC and buy fresh fruit and vegetables, or, take a bike ride down to the Watson shops and enjoy lunch at any of the local cafes. Public schools are also just a short drive away, with Dickson nearby for major supermarkets and other amenities.

The property has two secure underground side by side car park spaces including a generous sized store cage and ample visitor parking. 'Starlight' is set amongst leafy surrounds with a pool to enjoy in summer.

Come home and live where you love and live your best life in Watson.
