70 Whitmore Crescent, Watson, ACT 2602
As good as it gets!

Exceptional, meticulously renovated home, a must-see residence that is perfect for the first home buyer or downsizer with minimal running costs!

Informed by a gentle elegance, this beautifully renovated and meticulously presented two-bedroom residence delivers the perfect mix of space and sunshine and forges a wonderful connection to outside. A soft white-on-white scheme furthers accentuates the light-filled, calm of the interiors while considered detailing ushers in pops of texture. A clever re-jigging distinguishes the home, delivering a large rumpus room within the space that was formerly the garage. Costs are minimal with very little maintenance and an extensive solar panel system.

Perfectly placed on the high end of Whitmore Crescent, a few steps from endless walking trails, the home embodies the idea of inner-city retreat and offers an exceptional opportunity for first home buyers or downsizers entering the market. The far-reaching open spaces and tranquillity of nature very much informs the lived experience despite the home's position within the vibrant inner north.

There are the warm tones of mixed brick, set against a contemporary dark trim. Conifers edge the green square, creating soft walls that hold and enclose. There is a private driveway, an elegant, cantilevered carport and a striking white façade framing the entryway.

It is a pleasure to step inside, the whole open space informed by lightness, as white walls reflect the sunshine. Expansive open plan living enjoys views across the northern courtyard to the unspoilt native landscape of Mt Majura Reserve. Glass sliders open to breezes and the mood is vibrant and luxurious, with soft cream carpet and a bright white kitchen with Bosch appliances that sits back at the end of the large space. Here a large island with stone worktop gifts a relaxed spot to gather and banks of cabinetry provide a spot for everything. There is a lovely open flow to the rumpus room delivering flexibility of living with lots of space for work, rest and play.

The master bedroom has a wall of mirrored robes for seamless storage. Ribbon windows welcome natural light and the adjacent bathroom serves up a relaxing bathtub. Warm timber panelling introduces notes of gold and there is the convenience of a separate powder room. The second bedroom also has a built-in-robe and a large window that overlooks the immaculate rear courtyard. Throw in an internal laundry with direct access to outside, reverse cycle ducted heating and cooling and you have easy living at its curated best, and all informed by a unique combo of inner-city living alongside the deep peace of natural immersion.

The Fair is an excellent development famous for its ready access to Clancy's Walking Track and Valour Park. There is a strong community vibe with 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 natural surrounds. This tranquil locale also connects you to a cornucopia of expressive eating, drinking and shopping experiences. The Dickson and Braddon precincts are at close at hand and you are just moments to Watson shops for great coffee and fabulous pizza at The Knox. There is the famous Dickson pool for summer lap swimming and of course, easy access to a myriad of green spaces including the Watson Woodlands. The Maliyan Playground is nearby and the home is convenient to a mix of private and public schools. It is not far to the Capital Region Farmers Market and the light rail stop, whisking you straight to the CBD.
