68 Whitmore Crescent, Watson, ACT 2602

This gorgeous three-bedder has been infused with a tranquil simplicity that embodies the peace of the surrounding open reserves. Think crisp white interiors, warm timber floors, gentle sunlight falling through billowing sheers. Arranged in an open plan, the home spills to the warmth of a northern courtyard, gifting plenty of space to move, gather and commune.

Whitmore Crescent is a quiet loop street, lined with handsome low-level townhouses, all with pretty front gardens. This peaceful enclave sits at the northern edge of the inner north and is informed by the dramatic moods of Mt Majura, the endless walking trails that traverse the open bushland. The form is a sweet combo of raw brick with white trim and formal portico sheltering the entryway. There is ample visitor parking spots and a private driveway that ushers to a garage with remote controlled door and the convenience of internal access. 

Within floating timber floors introduce a clean Nordic feel, stretching to meet white washed walls that gift the perfect canvas for chosen art, framed photographs. Glass doors make the most of the northern orientation, opening to breezes and sunshine. The kitchen presides in one corner, all white on white with subway tiled splashback and black worktops. There are banks of storage with stainless steel handles to match the appliances, including a dishwasher. We love the relaxed mood, allowing conversations to flow across the open plan, perfect for entertaining and family togetherness.

Soft carpets in warm chestnut ground the trio of bedrooms, with all delivering excellent built-in-storage and all handy to a family bathroom. Large windows are dressed in elegant textiles that can be drawn closed, adjusting the light. The simply appointed bathroom has a spa-like serenity with its all white scheme and serves up a relaxing bathtub and separate powder room. 

The Fair is a boutique development famous for its ready access to Clancy's Walking Track and Valour Park. There is a strong community vibe with street library and a productive vegetable garden for all to share. There is also a community centre, playground and a BBQ spot, so you can get together with neighbours or friends and enjoy the natural surrounds. This tranquil locale also connects you to a cornucopia of expressive eating, drinking and shopping experiences. The Dickson and Braddon precincts are at hand and it is moments to Watson shops for great coffee, fabulous pizza at The Knox. There is the famous Dickson pool for summer lap swimming and of course, easy access to a myriad of green spaces including the Watson Woodlands. The Maliyan Playground in nearby and the home is convenient to a mix of private and public schools. It is not far to the Capital Region Farmers Market and the light rail stop, whisking you straight to the CBD.
