60 A'beckett Street, Watson, ACT 2602

Decades of family fun in this wonderful home!

This classic three-bedder is solid double brick and has been lovingly tended across the years. Freshly painted soft white walls and new plush carpets give this charming home a fresh new appeal, a welcoming ease. The home distinguished by its drift to a broad screened patio and wrap around delightful gardens, so you can entertain garden side, enjoying relaxed alfresco living. And the locale is wonderful…a quiet oak-lined street, moments from the Watson Micro-Forest, Primary Schools, local Watson shops and Canberra Technology Park. 

A magnificent oak, shelters the neatly paved circular driveway, dappling red brick with leaf patterned shade. The concrete mailbox is classic of the era, painted crisp white to match the cool decorative iron, that edges the front porch. The red brick form with white timber windows, tiled roof, a satisfying example of Australian suburban bliss. On one side, part of the long circular driveway, edged with clipped conifers, ushers to a gated, double garage.

Sunlight graces the front living room, as large windows capture the neatly landscaped front gardens. While beyond, a light and bright kitchen, serves up a tonne of storage and a sunny dining space. A wonderful spatial array and all electric appliances, make for easy meals, relaxed family togetherness. We love the way the dining space is edged by a bank of drawers, perfectly melding style and function.

A slender hallway nicely separates the bedrooms from the rest of the house creating a nice privacy. Two of the three bedrooms have warm timber built-in-robes, maximising storage. There is a family bathroom with a bathtub and the convenience of a separate toilet. A large laundry opens directly onto the patio and garden, where a curving path cuts through the lawn, meeting a classic Hills Hoist. 

Come summer you can spill outside and live alfresco within the screened patio, which stretches the full length of the home. Think relaxed times with friends, the kids playing endless games on the expanse of soft green lawns. The whole garden reading like a sunny oasis, as lawn stretches to meet well-tended garden beds, beautiful plantings and leafy trees. 

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 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.
