Decades of memories have been made in this much-loved home!

This gorgeous home that has been enjoyed by the one family for 50 years has been

lovingly renovated, ushering the home into the here and now, while still retaining all

the charm of yesteryear. The classic low-lying form is picture perfect, nestled within

tended gardens, where a mix of established olive, pear and fig trees complement the

array of floral displays that outline the block. A magnificent prickly pear graces the

entry way and there is a long driveway ushering to the original garage and workshop,

set deep within the large block.

We love the combination of blue timber panelling and framed glass that edges the porch,

and the modern timber front door is set with vertical columns of glass carets a

welcoming entry. Behind the front door, you are greeted by the bright, sunny open

living space. Hybrid timber floors stretch to meet soft white walls and there is a

combo of brand new down lighting and elegant light fixtures, that feel very much in

tune with the 60s modernist vibe.

The home has been extended to embrace the northern light, from the living room,

drifting at one end to the glassed sunroom with its raked ceiling, exposed beams and

light ceramic flooring, framing the garden, that extends seamlessly to the outdoor

patio through glass sliders allowing you to step out onto a broad and sheltered patio,

perfect for entertaining or simply escaping from the hustle and bustle and relaxing

within nature.

Back inside, the living space merges seamlessly to the dining and combined kitchen,

where a large window frames a beautiful loquat tree and clever wall hung cabinetry

gifts extra storage, including a rack to showcase collected wine.

The new kitchen is light and bright, with banks of white cabinetry, white marbled

worktops and chic subway tiling. There are quality appliances, including a

freestanding oven and gas hob from SMEG and an integrated dishwasher. A

recessed double porcelain sink sits beneath the window, so you can wash up in

style, enjoying a bounty of afternoon light and taking in all the colours and moods of

the front garden.

A slender hallway connects to three peaceful bedrooms that centre around the

renovated family bathroom and separate toilet. Two of the bedrooms have built-in-

robes while the third bedroom captures leafy views via a couplet of windows. Lush

carpet and soft drapes create a welcoming gentleness and there is a lovely, filtered

garden light.The modern bathroom is finished in floor to ceiling tiling in crisp white with

contrasting dark floors. There is a walk-in-rain shower and a wall hung vanity and

mirrored shaving cabinet for seamless storage. The large, renovated laundry sits

across the way and is also finished in timeless black and white with feature

honeycomb tiles and wall hung dryer. There is a tonne of storage here as well and

direct access to the patio, where steppers connect to a classic hills hoist.

Perfectly equipped for socialising, the large garden has a built-in-barbecue bench

and paved dining area set to one side. One imagines spending whole summers

beneath the raked pergola?relaxed lunches morphing into evenings and the kids at

play on the vast lawn, dotted with so many shady trees.

The leafy neighbourhood of Watson connects you to various inner-north hubs that

extend a variety of independent shopping, drinking and dining experiences. Enjoy

great coffee, fabulous pizza at The Knox, or dine out at the Filipino eatery, Lola and

Lola. The home is a short walk from Watson Micro Forest, Majura Primary School

and soon to be completed Majura Playground. It is not far to Dickson shops, host to

an array of international cuisines and the famed Braddon precinct. Majura Nature

Reserve and the off-leash dog area is close to hand. The home is also convenient to

a mix of private and public schools, close to EPIC and the Fresh Food Markets and

handy to transport, including the light rail, whisking you straight to the CBD.
