Auction Wednesday 5th April at 6:00pm In rooms at LJ Hooker Canberra City, 182-200 City Walk

Tucked away secretly in the heart of Watson in a private, tree-lined setting, youll find this deceivingly generous five bedroom family home. This house is set on a large 874m2 block, enveloped in beautifully established gardens and manicured lawns.

The home itself is warm and inviting, boasting a formal lounge room, separate dining and family rooms, and what could very well be Watsons largest laundry. The beautiful Sydney Blue Gum floors underfoot in the kitchen and meals area provide a great space to entertain friends and family.

A skylight bathes the kitchen in natural light, while the large 5-burner gas stove makes cooking a breeze. Theres also plenty of storage space both here, and throughout the property. The ducted gas heating and reverse cycle air conditioning also provides year round comfort.

The lovely gardens are established & dont require much maintenance. The crepe myrtle in the back yard provides shade and beautiful colour during the summer and to sit back and enjoy all of its glory there is a covered rear porch. The Wisteria over the North facing front entry also shades during the summer, but lets the winter sun through. The park just at the end of the street is a great place to enjoy that bush capital feel that Canberra can offer.

Theres so much to love about this house, but when we asked the owners what they will miss the most, they said it was short walk to the Watson shops and being 15 minutes from everything has suited their lifestyle to a tee.
