Watson ACT 2602

Upon entering warm timber panelling lines the handy mudroom, with its rows of hooks for hanging bags and coats and ample space for kicking off shoes and boots. While beyond, the home's open spaces beckon, as large windows capture light and garden scenery. New timber laminate floors flow underfoot, coalescing with the beautifully preserved original timber joinery and doors.

The living space is warm and welcoming with sliders to the rear that can be opened, extending the living space to a warming sunroom that overlooks the large back garden. One imagines spending long summer evenings sharing time with family and friends, kids playing impromptu cricket on the flat lawn. On colder days this lovely suntrap is the place to be, cuppa in hand, curled up with a great book.

The modern kitchen is neatly arranged in one corner, all banks of white cabinetry and honeyed timber worktops. Think chosen pieces carefully placed on open shelves and select wine displayed in the bespoke hardwood rack. The kitchen overlooks the dining space and then directly through to the airy living area with its wall of library shelving.

A slender hallway privatises the intimate wing which comprises of four peaceful bedrooms. Bedroom one features a wall of fixed cabinetry and makes for an ideal home office. There are two additional bedrooms, both with built-in-robes and a unique family bathroom with corner spa, artisan glass basin and mosaic floor tiles in forest green.

The master is nicely sequestered beyond the walk-thru-laundry and has a built-in-robe and an ensuite bathroom. This generous space enjoys light and airflow as glass doors connect you straight to the sunroom with its peaceful connection to the green lawns and fruiting trees that dot the garden.

Solar array, boosted insulation, heat pump hot water and ducted electric heating and cooling help to keep things temperate and sustainable, all year round. Other contemporary updates include the neatly lined garage which doubles down as a studio space and home gym. Clever bike racks make it easy for the whole family to ditch the car and explore the local shared biking and walking trails just beyond the garden.

Watson is a vibrant, inner-north suburb with great community vibes, plenty of playgrounds and parks and is surrounded by natural reserves. Enjoy great coffee at Watson shops with local favs including The Knox for great pizza, or Lola and Lola for relaxed meals. 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.
