This gorgeous two bedroom ensuite apartment embraces balance and simplicity, offering a life shaped by light and ease. A few updates have given the home a fresh, welcoming feel alongside the warmth of timber, double glazing and a touch of pattern. Beautifully presented throughout, it offers generous living spaces and an easy sense of flow.

Starlight has been wonderfully reimagined from its drive in movie days, with established greenery throughout the complex, a sparkling swimming pool and neat rows of Mediterranean style villas. The home sits on the ground floor and opens to a deep balcony, creating an easy extension of the living space. Beautifully maintained communal grounds and a pool area add to the relaxed feel of the complex.

Within, timber look floors stretch to meet fresh white walls, creating a warm and inviting backdrop throughout the main living spaces. The living and dining are arranged on one open plan, with plenty of room to settle in, gather with friends or simply enjoy the everyday. Glass sliders open to the veranda, bringing in natural light and creating an easy transition between inside and out. The kitchen sits neatly within the social domain, keeping everything connected while still feeling like a space of its own.

Stone worktops pair with timber toned cabinetry, while a tessellated splash back introduces a touch of sky blue and pattern. There is plenty of bench space for preparation, along with quality all electric appliances including a Westinghouse oven, Bosch cooktop and De'Longhi dishwasher. The combination of timber, stone and subtle colour gives the kitchen a considered feel that works beautifully with the rest of the home.

The bedrooms are privately positioned beyond the hallway, creating good separation from the main living spaces. Both rooms have built in robes for easy storage and soft carpet underfoot, while the master has the added benefit of its own generous ensuite. A family bathroom with a bathtub sits nearby and incorporates the laundry within the space. Both bathrooms continue the fresh feel of the home with a simple white palette and updated vanities offering plenty of storage.

Positioned in Watson, the home places the best of the inner north within easy reach. Mount Majura Nature Reserve, EPIC and the Farmers Markets are close by, along with Watson shops and Dickson just moment away, with local favourites including The Knox, Lola and Lola.
