29/28 Beechworth Street

Watson ACT 2602

Beechworth is a quiet loop street that curls through the impressive Norrebro, developed by the award winning HTI. Landscaped parklands pay homage to the natural Watson surrounds, as sandstone meets preserved Eucalyptus trees. With plenty of shared green commons and outdoor dining, the precinct champions community, with a relaxed city meets bush ethos.

This end apartment is tucked away at the front of the complex, the building overlooking an expanse of terraced parkland. Walls of glass imbue the lobby with soft light and a stainless-steel lift whisks you to the first floor. No. 29 sits a few steps from a shared terrace that takes in leafy views of the park. You can see Mount Majura from here and enjoy epic sunsets over the Brindabellas. It is the perfect spot to gather with friends, enjoying a quiet drink.

Within no.29 the foyer is dusted in a pop of soft pink, with a handy coat cupboard for hanging winter woollies. To the immediate right, a spacious living, dining and kitchen is arranged in a sociable open plan, informed by soft sunshine and expansive vistas.

The kitchen is perfectly placed to overlook the social arena and light streams in from both north and west, gifting a continuity of natural warmth. Banks of storage in soothing neutrals meet tiled splash backs and the organic texture of stone worktops. There are quality appliances from Smeg and a lovely pared-back functionality, fostering relaxed family meals, easy entertaining.

One imagines spending long summer days balcony side, bathing in the natural light, absorbed for hours in a great book. Or come evenings, welcoming friends, sharing a meal beneath the ever- changing colours and moods of the sky.

A hall privatises and ushers to the sleeping wing, where three-bedrooms capture the never-ending mountain views. Warming afternoon light floods the first bedroom, while the second overlooks the park and takes in both Mount Majura and Black Mountain. There is a luxury family bathroom and a European laundry seamlessly incorporated within the hallway.

Glass sliders can be flung open in the warmer months, welcoming light and breezes deep within the master bedroom. There is a Juliette balcony so you can step barefoot, champagne in hand, and celebrate the sunset over the undulating forms of the ranges. An ensuite bathroom, and all rooms have built-in-robes to keep the clutter at bay. Both bathrooms are finished in luxury floor-to ceiling tiling.

The home is a few steps from the brand new, inclusive play space and recreational park that is imminently forthcoming and is also just moments from Mt Majura reserve. The fab Watson shops are handy, with local highlights including, great coffee, fabulous pizza from The Knox and the Filipino eatery, Lola and Lola. It is an easy walk to Exhibition Park, host to the famous Farmer's Market and the home is just a short drive from the Dickson and Braddon precincts, CBD and the ANU. 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.
