23 Blair Street, Watson, ACT 2602

Set in a beautiful treelined street so close to parkland!

Warm textures and thoughtful details come together within this welcoming family home, which enjoys views across parkland and an easy connection between indoors and out. The large central social hub reads like a pavilion as glass sliders open on two sides, welcoming light and summer breezes. There are four comfortable bedrooms and the added flexibility of a separate studio tucked away within the back garden.

Blair Street is a tightly held loop street that edges parkland and offers a wonderful setting for family life. No. 23 enjoys a broad frontage and the convenience of a circular driveway. The home has a warm, grounded appeal with bagged brick, a timber front deck and feature walls finished with textural tiles. There is a semi enclosed carport on each side of the home, both with automatic roller doors for easy access.

The expansive decking front and back allows you to enjoy the outdoors and entertain with ease. Solid Blackbutt timber floors run underfoot, while the generous proportions create a relaxed sense of space throughout. Think a huge kitchen with enduring stone worktops and extensive cabinetry, alongside open plan dining and living with clever built in storage and an inset study nook. We love the way the front living area takes in the open parkland outlook and the way the dining area connects with the rear deck. Here a large covered deck offers fixed seating and a bar leaner, creating an easy place to gather while overlooking the garden.

The master bedroom has a wall of robes and its own private ensuite bathroom. A light filled hallway with glass sliders provides access to two additional bedrooms that sit close to the family bathroom with a bathtub. The fourth bedroom is nicely separated and would make an ideal home office or guest room. Meanwhile, the outdoor studio is a fantastic multipurpose space with its own ensuite bathroom, excellent storage, reverse cycle split system and garden outlook. It could easily serve as a home office, guest retreat, teenage space, creative studio or additional living area.

Neatly paved paths wind through established gardens filled with layered plantings. Green walls, sculptural yuccas, citrus trees and climbing vines including purple flowering wisteria add plenty of character. For the kids, the elevated cubby house is something special, complete with a climbing wall and storage underneath, creating their own adventure space within the backyard. There is also a water feature and a private leafy side lane to explore.

Watson is a vibrant inner north suburb with a strong community feel, excellent local shops, playgrounds, parks and surrounding nature reserves. Enjoy coffee and pizza at The Knox or dine at Filipino eatery Lola and Lola. The home is a short stroll from Rosary and Majura Primary Schools and the Andrews Street Playground. Dickson, Braddon, Majura Nature Reserve, ANU and the CBD are all within easy reach, while the nearby light rail provides a convenient connection into the city and across Canberra.
