99 Phillip Avenue, Watson, ACT 2602

Super convenient location within walking distance of everywhere!

A gorgeous extension doubles down on space, light and air…delivering this 60s charmer into a family friendly, here and now, without losing any of its authentic historical feel. Think decorative cornices, warm timber joinery and a kitchen update that honours the clean lines and elegance of the original vibe. Think four bedrooms, a plan that separates the master, and generous living areas that cater for the whole family. 

The home's lovely form - pitched roofline, front veranda, decorative wrought-iron railing - nestled behind high green walls and timber screens. Even the deep verge is softened by a swell of native plantings, shaded beneath the magnificent gum tree. Long driveways on each side provide plenty of off-street parking, with one leading to a tandem, double carport.

The gorgeous front living welcomes with its bespoke timber cabinetry, patterned glass sliders and bluestone hearth, set with a gas fireplace. And there is an easy connection to the charming kitchen/combined meals. A large servery window lets conversations flow back and forth from the enormous second living area, with its glass sliders on both sides, welcoming light and landscape. 
The kitchen is finished in soft sage green with crisp black handles, matching the vintage hardware in the original  part of the home. There is a tonne of storage, including two full-height pantries, microwave and small appliance bay, and lots of curved shelves for displaying your favourite things.

A slender hall ushers to three large bedrooms, all with built-in-storage and big windows that allow the light to pour. The family bathroom and separate toilet are nicely preserved with mosaic floors and a cute baby blue bathtub. The home delivering on parental repose, with the master suite sequestered to the north. And it is roomy, delivering a walk-in-robe, built-in-cupboard and ensuite bathroom.

New landscaping has created a private courtyard style, front garden, easy-care and with a lovely privacy, so you can sit back on the veranda at the end of a long day. The rear garden is effortless, paved and fenced with a sheltering ash tree. Think kids playing basketball while you kick-back, lunching alfresco in the dappled shade.

And the location is wonderful - moments from playgrounds, nature reserves, The Catholic University, Rosary School, Majura Primary and Dickson College whilst being within an easy stroll to Watson and Downer shops. Will be a short walk from the new destination style playground under construction on the old high school oval joining technology park. The home is also handy to the bustling Dickson precinct, Braddon, ANU and the CBD. So close to transport, with a bus stop at your door and the nearby light rail, whisking you straight to the CBD.
