50 Tay Street, Watson, ACT 2602

On natures doorstep!

This sweet two-bedder has a simple balance of private and social spaces and spills to a private courtyard, enclosed by green walls. Reading like a country villa and ideally placed a few steps from endless bushland reserve, the home is very much informed by the peace of the surrounding landscape. Yet the locale also places you front and centre to all the enticements of the inner-north villages and you are just minutes from the Braddon precinct and the CBD.

The excellent kitchen sits in one corner of the open plan design and is nicely conversational with the combined dining and living space. Neat rows of neutral cabinetry take care of storage, including a full-height pantry with power point, so you can hide the microwave. There are deep drawers and a wine-rack tucked beneath the island bench and quality appliances from Fisher & Paykel, including a dishwasher, so you can dine and entertain with ease and pleasure.

A duo of bedrooms centre around a generous family bathroom and separate powder room. The master has a pair of vertical windows, framing the bed and both bedrooms have built-in-robes for seamless storage. The bathroom is finished in soft neutrals and there is a relaxing bathtub. There is also an internal laundry with direct access to the garden.

There is ample visitor parking spots and a private driveway that ushers to a single garage, with the convenience of internal access.

Tay Street loops through the development known as The Fair, famed for its friendly community vibe and country feel. There is a street library and a productive vegetable garden for all to share. There is also a community centre, playground and a BBQ spot, so you can get together with neighbours or friends and enjoy the beauty of the natural surrounds.

Underpinning it all is the lifestyle:

Stroll to the Watson shops for great coffee, fabulous pizza at The Knox, or dine out at the Filipino eatery, Lola and Lola. Or rise early on Saturday for a bounty of fresh produce from the Famer's Market at Epic. Dickson is not far with the new Dickson Village and the soon to be completed DKSN precinct, offering sleek office facilities and a mix of boutiques and eateries. There is the fabulous Dickson pool for summer lap swimming and of course, easy access to a myriad of green spaces including the Watson Woodlands and epic views from Mount Majura.

A brand new, inclusive play space and recreational park is great for the kids and the home is convenient to a mix of private and public schools. Stroll to the light rail stop and be whisked to the CBD and the city metro station, linking you to the whole of Canberra.
