6 Peden Place, Watson, ACT 2602

Picture perfect home bathed in abundant light – just stunning!

This glorious home is ideally placed on a sleepy cul-de-sac that culminates to a wonderful green strip that connects you to both the top and bottom of Watson. Whisper quiet and barely visible from the street, this 1960s brick beauty has been painted in a light grey and boasts large casement windows in crisp white. The home and its magical gardens, every bit a secret oasis.

Meticulously cared for over the years, this bright four-bedroom home is exquisite, with beautifully preserved vintage details and sympathetic upgrades. The gardens delight with an excitement of stone pathways that wind beneath a heady mix of fruiting trees, flowering exotics, herbs and natives.

The bedrooms are light and bright with crisp white walls giving way to airy social spaces awash in the softest grey. The renovated kitchen exudes a welcoming modern country vibe and is finished in buttery cream with a pop of sky blue. The garden studio smells of spruce and opens to a choice of alfresco spots to gather and celebrate or just be, amidst dreamy gardens and glorious northern sunshine. 

We love the entry sequence, the screen of mature trees…olive, pistachio, crepe myrtle, plum, grevilia hedge, artfully clipped spruce, interlacing of lavender and rosemary. At one end of the path there is a sunny morning nook, just right for coffee amidst the sweet smelling daphne, and at the other an elevated front porch…a sunny hug with a curve of greenery. A driveway runs discreetly down one side, ushering to a gated tandem double carport and large single garage. 

The original timber floorboards gleam underfoot and sunlight tumbles through the magnificent corner windows. The front living area graced by morning light and charming with its mosaic tiled hearth, set with a warming gas fireplace. There is a lovely open flow to the dining space and adjacent kitchen. Just next door a renovated laundry opens onto the long back veranda. Here you can sit beneath the opaque shelter, floating above the rosemary hedge, watching the day fade over the pretty back gardens. 

All four bedrooms have built-in-robes and large windows that frame leafy views. The smallest lovingly utilised as both bedroom and dance studio. The family bathroom has been recreated, honouring the original mosaic floors in hues of baby pink and blue. There is a relaxing bathtub, rain shower and the convenience of a separate toilet. 

The studio floats so perfectly within the garden, it looks as though it has always been there despite its new build credentials. It is filled with endless warmth and abundant light, providing you with the perfect retreat, guest accommodation or expansive home office, the versatility is endless. There is a kitchenette and an ensuite bathroom and a wall of double-glazed doors that open onto a small veranda. 

Watson is a vibrant, inner-north suburb with great community vibes, fabulous local shops, plenty of playgrounds and parks and is surrounded by natural reserves. Enjoy great coffee, fabulous pizza at The Knox, or dine out at the Filipino eatery, Lola and Lola. It is an easy stroll through parkland to local schools, Watson Woodlands and Mount Majura. It is not far to Dickson, Braddon, Ainslie shops, ANU and the CBD. The home is also close to transport, including the light rail, linking you to the metro city station and the whole of Canberra.
