Last Listing description (November 2022)

This fantastically located, extended 4 bedroom home has become available for the first time in over 30 years. With established gardens, an 830m2 block and a superb position within the fantastic and ever-growing suburb of Watson, this is an opportunity you just can't miss!

The home was extended 27 years ago to add a master bedroom and living area to the already existing 3-bedroom residence. The extension provides a separate living, kitchenette and the main bedroom with ensuite. The great feature about this extension is it has its own access from the rest of the home making it perfect as a teenager retreat, an older family members quarter or an opportunity for a rental income. The main Kitchen was updated in the early 2000's and includes a dining area with a beautiful pot belly stove to keep you warm during those cold winter months.

The main living has beautiful views of the front garden and has an abundance of light streaming through the main window. All 3 bedrooms are generous in size and have great separation from the lounge.

The gardens surrounding the home are established. The current owner is very passionate about gardening resulting in a beautiful variety of vegetation. There is also an established vegetable garden along with a chicken coop which can be easily removed or kept for your own use.

The double garage is generous in size with loads of storage space and lockable roller door. The undercover car port in front runs along the driveway giving you a great space for family BBQ's, projects or a perfect space for the kids to play out of the rain.

The location is superb being within walking distance of the local Watson shopping centre, popular cafes, a great choice of schools, the Australian Catholic University, EPIC, parkland, ovals, Mount Majura nature reserve and public transport, all whilst being just minutes to the Dickson shopping precinct, the City Centre, sporting facilities and Universities.
