44 A'Beckett St, Watson is a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom House with 3 parking spaces and was built in 1965. The property has a land size of 848m2 and floor size of 210m2. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in October 2024.
The spectacular sunken living room at this renovated home has all the glamorous hallmarks of its original 1965 pedigree, from the cathedral ceilings with exposed beams, to the metal hood on the wood-burning fireplace. There is even outdoor access to a retro kidney-shaped pool.
A clever reconfiguration of the floorplan here has lifted the number of bedrooms to four. Quality updates have provided contemporary amenity without sacrificing the home's special character.
The chic family bathroom is now a stunning wet room with soaker tub and rainfall shower while the master ensuite also has a soaker tub and separate shower. Timber vanities and shelving provide the common thread that bring the old and new together.
The kitchen maintains the theme, with a gorgeous timber island capable of seating three and modern ceiling-mounted cabinetry above that gives a nod to the original period.
First-time visitors will love the showstopping front entry to his home. A pair of solid timber stable-style doors gives way to a covered breezeway with timber-lined ceiling which offers glimpses of the full-height glass walls of the living room to the east and an intimate walled courtyard to the west.
There is also a new keyless side entrance off the driveway that provides great family accessibility. Situated on a corner block in a leafy cul-de-sac just one block from the Watson micro-forest, 10 minutes' walk from Majura Primary School, locally loved caf 'The Knox' and 5-minutes from a light rail stop in to the city, this captivating home is also in an incredibly convenient location.
