A masterpiece in the heart of Watson!

Walls of glass frame a native courtyard garden and northern light inches across the polished concrete floors…soaring ceiling heights, billowing curtains and shimmering organic surfaces all coalesce, creating a sense of drama and movement.

Built in 2020, this architecturally designed, sustainable and award winning, four-bedroom ensuite plus study home captures the imagination from the get-go. Resting at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the home cuts a striking silhouette - white Austral blocks contrasting with the dark Colorbond, the square box shape of the upper level floating lightly in place. A double garage gifts internal access and a grassed accessible driveway allows for gated parking, while retaining the soft simplicity of the frontage.

A dramatic entry with double height void is an impressive opening act, drawing the gaze upward as soft light filters through the vertical slats. The intrigue continues upon entry as two wings culminate in a V, the home enclosing and privatising the external space while simultaneously blurring the lines between inside and out.

To one side a neat home office overlooks the frontage and as you travel north a peaceful parental wing unfolds, flowing to the covered pergola. Set with walk-in-robe and luxurious ensuite, this gentle space showcases the organic materials that embellish the entire home - stone, metal, warm oak - paying homage to the natural bush surrounds.

The opposing ground floor wing houses the social arena, a cathedral like space with banks of glass capturing the changing colours and shapes of the landscape. At one end a concrete stage spans the full length of the room, housing a cast iron fireplace, creating a wonderful focal and gathering point. Sheer curtains enhance the romance and sliders can be flung open to welcome the day inside.

The kitchen is this sociable home's warm heart with expansive stone benchtops that gleam beneath the skylight. Banks of soft touch cabinetry, quality Seimans appliances and a butler's pantry ensure culinary ease. A breakfast bar provides extra seating, and a lovely openness makes for a relaxed space, perfect for chatting while cooking.

As you ascend the floating timber stairs, walls of glass provide both a source of light and stunning leafy views. Two generous bedrooms occupy one wing, connected by a central living area. The opposing wing houses a stunning family bathroom, and a third bedroom with sunny northern views.

The garden, hugged on both sides by the striking architectural lines and textures of the build, is a study in refinement. A tapestry of native grasses and plantings form a triangular atrium, a cooling natural well. Steppers invite across soft lawns and magnolias border the fence lines. There is a dedicated firepit area and a shady pergola for alfresco dining. A gate allows you to step straight into the peaceful expanses of the Watson Woodlands.

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 or fabulous pizza at The Knox, or dine out at the Filipino eatery, Lola and Lola. The home is close to the revitalised Dickson shops and host to an array of international cuisines. Majura Nature Reserve is nearby, and the home is just a short drive from the Braddon precinct, Ainslie shops, ANU and the CBD. You are also within a short distance of a mix of private and public schools plus public transport, including the light rail.
