Directly opposite parkland with a magic outlook ? wonderful opportunity!

A rare find! When it comes to position, outlook, streetscape and neighbours, you won't find a better spot to live in than Dowling Street in Watson ? a place where the locals gather in the park, kids play and the community spirit is high. How do you put a price on that!

This privately built three-bedroom home is the perfect entry level residence or perhaps a fabulous opportunity to do a knock down and build the home of your dreams in one of the best locations on offer.
