38 Shewcroft Street

Watson ACT 2602

There is a welcoming order the shewcroft.home, from the smooth driveway that ushers to the double-garage, to the perfectly arrayed spaces that unfold across one easy level, spilling to a sheltered outdoor room. The consistent design thread begins with the handsome form, as pops of timber coalesce with creamy render and monumental stacked stone wall, anchoring the entire home in a relationship with the earth.

The oversized timber front door sets the scene and there is the river stone appeal of muted ceramic flooring, the expanse of crisp white walls. A cosy living area purveys the front garden and sits in contrast to the airy open social hub?all glass walls and sunlight and drift to garden. The immaculate kitchen floating central, as banks of soft touch cabinetry and stone waterfall worktops welcome a high-end minimalist vibe.

It is hard not to fall in love with the details ? open timber shelving for curated display matching the timber inlay of the breakfast bar, trio of pendant lights softly illuminating the kitchen island, mirrored splashback inviting a silvery bling. Quality appliances from Bosch including a double oven and integrated dishwasher add to the chic array and there is a meticulously designed walk-in-pantry for truly seamless storage.

We love the pocket doors that allow the first bedroom to become openly sociable, making for a fabulous home office. And the built-in-robes that keep things minimal within the duo of additional bedrooms. A skylight gifting a soft hallway glow, ushering to the master suite, sequestered at the end of the home and opening to garden on the northern side. There is a walk-thru-robe with a skylight and a decidedly elegant ensuite bathroom.

Both ensuite and family bathroom are finished in concordant floor-to-ceiling tiling in softly speckled grey to mimic natural stone. There are walk-in-shower rooms, oak wall hung vanities and a relaxing bathtub for both kids and adults alike.

Underpinning it all is the lifestyle?Watson shops are not far, for great coffee, fabulous pizza at The Knox, or casual dining at the Filipino eatery, Lola and Lola. It is not far to the popular Famer's Market at Epic and the home is handy to both the dynamic Dickson and Braddon precincts. The brand new Watson playground has now opened and the home is convenient to a mix of private and public schools. The home is also close to transport, including the light rail, whisking you straight to the CBD.
