There are fond memories of the Starlight drive-in, when Canberran's picked up their dates or piled their kids in the car and headed out for a night beneath the stars and the big screen. Speakers were hung on the sides of classic cars and there was a heady combo of steamy windows, romance and popcorn.

Set within the old Starlight drive-in cinema, complete with original and restored iconic signage, there is an emotive connection with the laid-back, convivial spirit of times past. Neat white villas rest within pretty landscaped gardens, with peaceful paths ambling past clipped topiary shrubs. Communal areas foster neighbourly connection, including a sparkling pool to gather around on hot summer days.

This bright three-bedroom home encapsulates relaxed, family friendly living. Despite its coveted inner-north locale, the home emanates the calm of nature and nudges the bush land of Mount Majura. Whisper close to the local EPIC markets, the dynamic Braddon and Dickson precincts and with transport at your door, including the light rail which whisks you straight to the CBD, the home combines suburban community living with dynamic city engagement.

Set on one level, with open plan living, plenty of windows and flowing to a deep veranda, there is a wonderful connection to the outdoors. Updated flooring with a natural palette bring nature inside and lending a serene air. There is a lovely ingress of light and an ideal sociability, creating a warm space to gather and chill with family and friends, drifting outside to relax in the tranquil surrounds.

There are three welcoming bedrooms, the master with ensuite and an additional handsome family bathroom. The duo of rooms that occupy the rear of the home are characterised by windows that frame nature, drawing the eye outside. Think of stepping out to greet the morning, nursing a warm cuppa, surrounded by birdsong and greenery.

Located in Watson; 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 nice stroll to Exhibition Park, host to the famous Farmer's Market. Majura Nature Reserve is nearby, and the home is just a stone's throw from the Dickson and Braddon precincts, ANU and the CBD. This home is 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.
