Last Listing description (October 2022)

Set on the highest part of Irvine Street, ( you can't get any higher! ) Unassuming from the front, this large family home is primed and ready for your family to take over and secure your entry into the wonderful world of Watson! This property holds the character and harmony of different elements that make up the perfect Watson renovator. From the beautiful timber floors, the abundance of large windows, to the generously sized internal and external areas, this opportunity will get your creative side buzzing.

This Privately built ANU house in the early 1960's has been extended over time. 174m2 of internal living set amongst the established 806m2 landscape has resulted in having a unique configuration. With multiple living areas and an abundance of space, you will be surprised when entering as the front is so private and unassuming the property opens up and goes on and on! The aspect of North/west to the front and the abundance of windows that allow natural light to flow through the living areas, bounce off the beautiful wooden timber floors creating a warm, open feeling throughout. You are surrounded by established gardens that provide scenic views. With the elevation, you will enjoy views of the snow on the Brindabella mountains from the front living room windows.

5 generously sized bedrooms with fantastic separation are located at the rear of the property with built in robes. A really cool feature is the functional pot belly stove located in one of the larger rooms that leads into the extension that adds an awesome retro feel. The extension is my favorite aspect of the property. This space was used as an artist studio. It has a superb flow of indoor and outdoor living, nice concrete floors and facing north - it soaks up that warm winter sun. This space could be used as a retreat for teenagers, extended family members or a home office.

The Living and dining areas are open and full of natural light featuring a cozy gas heater for those cooler winter months. The bathroom features a separate bath and shower. The toilet is separate and is accessible from outside as well. You have a large separate laundry that leads out to the back garden. The kitchen is cute, sharing nice views of the garden and features gas cooking.

Just a short walk from the Watson shops, you will be able to immerse yourself in everything good that Watson delivers. A beautiful community, leafy green surroundings, nature strips and reserve all around you, the lifestyle that Watson brings is fantastic! You have very quick and easy access to all the popular walking and dog walking tracks at mount Majura. Majura primary school is just in walking distance. Take a walk to the EPIC fresh food markets every Saturday morning and enjoy organic fresh produce while supporting the local community! Dickson is also only a short drive down the road. The city is a 10-minute drive or take a 5-minute bike ride to the tram stop, lock it up and hop on! The list goes on.

With one family moving out, take advantage of this opportunity to start your own chapter in the wonderful world of Watson.
