38 Irvine St, Watson ACT 2602

The current owners have put a great deal of thought into creating a sustainable home with energy efficiency and cost savings in mind. Wonderful upgrades include solar panels, ducted reverse cycle heating and cooling, extra insulation and a heat pump for the hot water.

The cheerful front living area brims with light and there is a nice open flow to the kitchen combined dining/family area beyond. Here an enormous bay window frames the back garden, so you can cook and dine informed by light and nature. The kitchen has enough room for everyone and a ton of storage to make life easy. There is a long island for relaxed gathering and a fabulous Falcon freestanding cooker. A door opens to the north-east facing side deck, edged with herbs, here you can enjoy your morning coffee in all seasons. Glass sliders spill to the central deck, so you can entertain with ease.

There are three bedrooms with the first bedroom having a large built-in-robe and big double windows that frame the landscape. Both the second and third bedrooms also have the luxury of built-in robes with the third bedroom featuring a barn door that opens to the front living area, if desired the room can easily morph into a fabulous home office. There is a large family bathroom with a bathtub.

Outdoors the deck reads like an organic extension of the built environment. It acts as both alfresco space and a walkway, connecting the home to the studio. This way the main home and contemporary garden studio are in constant dialogue, despite their inherent privacy. It creates a home for all ages – flexible, accommodating and immersed within nature.

Echoing the tones and textures of the Australian bush, the studio fits perfectly within its garden setting. It delivers a whole new dimension – expansive bedroom that opens to nature, built-in-robe, ensuite bathroom and kitchenette.

Irvine is a popular street with big oak trees, that curves past Majura Primary. No.38 is ideally placed, just a few steps from the sprawling and peaceful green expanse of the Watson Woodlands off-leash dog area, nearby parks and Mount Majura Nature Reserve. You can walk to the local shops from here and it is not far to the bustling Dickson and Braddon precincts and the CBD. The home is also convenient to a great choice of schools, the Australian Catholic University plus public transport, including the light rail.
