17 A Beckett St, Watson ACT 2602

If house's truly do have human traits, this one is a best friend - down-to-earth, generous and friendly. Perhaps it's the sunny ochre, yellow scheme of the kitchen or the sunshine that tumbles into the large north facing rooms. There are also the bright colours of calendula flowers, raspberry canes and fresh greens, the garden never disappoints.

Cared for by the loving owners over many years, the home has a rambling country feel and a relaxed vibe. The whole home perfect for communing with family and friends, think home cooked meals picked straight from the garden and lots of places to gather and chat. You can easily move around according to the weather and the seasons. In summer there is the shelter of the outdoor veranda and patio. The whole garden shaded by a magnificent Chinese elm. In winter the front deck or snuggly front living area are the places to be.

The kitchen feels modern country and delivers ample storage and space to cook and mingle. A small island sits central and there is an enjoyable open connection with the dining area. The front and back door can be opened to cross breezes, which is great in summer and lending a lovely airy vibe to the whole space.

The master bedroom welcomes light and a leafy outlook via a wall of casement windows that perfectly frame Mt Majura. There is a wall of built-in-robes painted in a blush of pink. Bedroom two also has a built-in-robe and both bedrooms two and three overlook the back gardens. There is a study/sitting area opening via French doors onto the living space, generating a wonderful flexibility. The nearby family bathroom is generous with a relaxing bathtub and a cheerful scheme that combines deep sea blue with earthy terracotta.

The garage has been converted into a rumpus room with a separate laundry that serves up a shower and toilet. Think teen hang, guest accommodation or hobby area, the choices are endless. The spirit of flexibility and creativity continues within the "Snowy Mountain Hut" – a bespoke timber studio, tucked away in the corner of the garden and opening onto a small, private deck.

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. The home is a short walk from the Watson Micro Forest and Canberra Technology Park. It is not far to Dickson shops, host to an array of international cuisines. Majura Nature Reserve and you are also within an easy drive/ride of the Braddon precinct, CBD and ANU. 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.
