Family living amongst the cherry blossoms in Watson

The cherry blossoms which flank the front entrance of this light, bright and modern home in a sought-after pocket of Watson are just a taste of what's to come.

The property at 16 Bettie Mcnee Street, Watson is surrounded by professionally landscaped, low maintenance gardens, adding both privacy and creating your own little suburban oasis. As well as the cherry blossoms, you'll find daffodils, jasmine, and 10 different types of maples, which all provide a beautiful backdrop to the outdoor areas, and a peek of greenery from every room.

The home itself is four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and two living areas spread across 206sqm of internal space. The master suite sits private at the front of the property, while the remaining three bedrooms are generous in size and feature honeycomb blinds and built-in robes.

The main living areas and bedrooms capture the best of the northerly sun, while the front living area is separated from the rest of the home, and works nicely as a kids retreat. The contemporary open-plan kitchen has granite bench tops, loads of space, quality stainless steel appliances and gas cooking.

The property features zoned, ducted reverse cycle air conditioning throughout, and its impressive energy efficiency rating of 5.5 makes it easy and affordable to keep the family comfortable through Canberra’s four seasons.

Back out in those gardens, there’s a rear alfresco area, with an overhead sail for shade, where you can watch the kids play on the fortress and rock-climing wall, or entertain on the separate stained deck alfresco area. The double car garage has reverse cycle air conditioning and TV connections, and can comfortably be used as a home gym.

"From the beautiful, blossoming, low maintenance gardens, quality fixtures and fittings, to the versatile, accommodating floor plan, every aspect exudes a lovely family home," says selling agent Andrew Grenfell from LJ Hooker Dickson.

"Located in one of Watson's most sought after locations, there's nothing to do but move in and enjoy. This property will be your gateway into the wonderful lifestyle Watson provides.

The home will go to auction on Saturday October 23. Click here to find out more about 16 Bettie Mcnee Street Watson.
