3 Blair Street, Watson, ACT 2602 - More Details
Auction 2:00pm Saturday 5 September
Blair has always known exactly who she is.
Standing on her patch of Watson since 1964, she's watched Menzies give way to mini skirts, mini skirts give way to renovations three doors down, and still she hasn't felt the need to change a thing. Some homes chase trends. Blair simply waits for the trends to come back around to her.
Step through the front door and the original bones are all still here, honest, solid, unbothered brick-and-timber construction from an era that built things to last. The kitchen's mid life facelift makes her functional, and she'll be the first to admit it, this is where your imagination gets to do the talking. Good layout, good light, and a blank canvas for whoever's ready to bring her up to date.
Then there's the bathroom. Powder pink and baby blue tiles, original, immaculate, and unapologetically retro, the kind of tiles you simply cannot buy anymore. Some buyers will want to update her. Others will walk in, gasp, and beg you never to touch a single tile. Either way, she's magnificent.
East-facing rooms mean Blair wakes up glowing, morning light pouring through sleek custom fit roman blinds (privacy blinds at the front, for the sticky-beaks) before settling into soft, easy afternoons. Timber floors run warm underfoot throughout, while ducted heating and evaporative cooling keep her comfortable no matter the season, Canberra can throw what it likes at her.
Out back, a spotted gum deck, oiled and cared for, sits half-shaded beneath a pergola. It's the kind of spot made for long lunches and longer evenings, a glass of something cold, and absolutely nowhere else to be.
And then there's the block. Large, flat, and full of possibility, this is the kind of space that makes you start mentally placing the veggie patch, the cubby house, the trampoline, before you've even finished the walk-through. A standalone double garage rounds out the practicality of it all.
Blair isn't pretending to be a display home. She's better than that, she's the real thing, original, honest, and quietly waiting for someone who can see exactly what she could become.
