Convenient lifestyle choice just moments from the light rail!

This spacious two-bedroom ensuite apartment has a lovely sunny aspect and plenty of room to enjoy, you are sure to be impressed. Set within the grounds of the iconic Starlight drive-in cinema, complete with its original and restored signage. The site is a place of memories and fond stories, from hiding in the boot, to first-dates or piling the kids in the car and heading out for a night beneath the stars and the big screen. Speakers were hung on the sides of classic cars and there was a heady combo of steamy windows, romance and popcorn.

There is a lovely inviting feel from the moment you step inside this apartment with its open plan design providing a friendly and relaxing place to entertain or simply chat with family and friends. There is a nice combo of ceramic flooring and soft carpeting that stretches cosily across the living space. The kitchen delivers plenty of storage, ample bench space and quality stainless-steel appliances, including a dishwasher to make life easy.

Both bedrooms have large windows that frame the landscape and excellent built-in-storage. The master flows to a generous ensuite bathroom with a large shower space. There is also a family bathroom with a relaxing bathtub and a convenient integrated laundry. Both bathrooms are finished in soothing creams, with floor-to-ceiling tiling and contrasting decorative borders.

Watson is a vibrant, inner-north suburb with great community vibes, fabulous local shops, plenty of playgrounds and parks. 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. The home is just a short drive from the Dickson and Braddon precincts, ANU and the CBD. You are also convenient placed within moments of a mix of private and public schools and transport, including the light rail, linking you to the metro city station and the whole of Canberra.
