46 A'beckett Street, Watson, ACT 2602

Private oasis in the heart of Watson!

There is an enticing creative vibe to this sprawling three-bedder in leafy Watson. Perhaps it's the winning combo of old and new, the classic blonde brick form, the surrounding vintage gardens or the surprise of a Roman pool set within a delightfully curated garden sanctuary. Either way the homes inter-mix of joyful, light dappled spaces, luxury updates and choice of alfresco garden arenas, weaves a kind of magic, you will be captivated.

The home is almost invisible from the street, set behind high green hedges with an exposed aggregate driveway on one side, ushering to a double garage. Once you step within the garden gate you are enveloped by a green sanctuary. The homes mix of blonde brick, gentle swell of rich green lawn, pretty birch trees and gorgeous display of elegant Japanese maples sets a lovely scene. 

Within timber flooring flows warmly underfoot, the open plan kitchen, dining and family space welcoming sunshine via a wall of glass. The kitchen itself is all sleek modern lines with a long island and waterfall stone worktops. We love the choice of soft grey cabinetry, echoed within the handmade Turkish tiled splash back. The addition of a bankable window doubles as a servery or bar, perfect for passing items back and forth and easy entertaining.

The separate living area is a delightful space, openly embracing the front patio via French doors. This is the perfect spot for simply relaxing and enjoying a drink of choice after a day at the office.

The hallway ushers past three peaceful bedrooms, two with built-in robes, all having easy access to the stunning renovated bathroom. There is a soothing opulence to the bathroom with its floor-to-ceiling lustrous tiling in soft white, brushed brass rain shower and bespoke hardwood vanity with matching shaving cabinet and deep bath. Further along is another expansive area, this flexible space opens onto a second bathroom and could easily be utilised as a fourth bedroom, rumpus, home office or teen hang. 

The rear deck reads more like an outdoor kitchen or a scene straight out of Tuscany, with its climbing jasmine and vegetable beds, teeming with life. While beyond, a more curated space, summons meditative stillness, as a cascading water feature ripples the surface of a shallow pool. This cooling oasis is all green lawns, formal brick walls and green hedging and the spot to be on hot summer days. Meanwhile leafy pathways allow you to explore the delight of a garden that fills the large corner block.

The home is a short walk from the Watson Micro Forest then through to the thriving local shopping centre. It is not far to Dickson shops, host to an array of international cuisines. 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.
