22 Higinbotham Street, Watson ACT 2602

This beautifully maintained and spacious, privately built three bedroom home has excellent street appeal and is set amidst neat gardens and attractive surrounds, enhanced by the welcome canopy of shade.

Light filled living areas are a standout feature of the home, which has been painted throughout in a fresh modern white. The newly polished timber flooring shines like glass and extends through the dining and generously proportioned living room, which features an ornate and attractive cornice and a new ceiling fan. Large windows let in abundant natural light and offer a restful outlook. A gas wall furnace provides instant warmth, although the original fireplace offers the enticing prospect of re-creating a cosy winter atmosphere, if a new heating system is installed.

The charming retro kitchen is in excellent condition and is bright, spacious and very functional. The upright stove is equipped with a gas hob.

New carpet in a modern shade has been laid in the hallway and bedrooms. Quality new built-in robes in all three bedrooms feature beautiful ash timber themed doors, which together with the fresh decor, make these rooms feel 'brand new'. The master bedroom is particularly spacious and all bedrooms have plenty of natural light and the special decorative cornice. Bedroom three has a scenic outlook to the trees and also to Mt. Majura in winter. Those who appreciate "retro" will enjoy the distinctive colour scheme and tessellated tiling in the bathroom, which is presented in very good condition and has a separate w/c.

Gardens surrounding the home are perfectly maintained. The safely enclosed rear garden faces north and so offers a great opportunity to further develop entertaining areas. There is a chook run and lemon, olive and persimmon trees. The extra-long garage allows for workshop space and the power to it subtly runs under-ground. In recent times the house roof has been repointed and re-bedded and all exterior trim is in excellent condition.

The location is brilliant, surrounded by other attractive homes and is opposite the sought after Rosary Primary and there is a wonderfully leafy park at the end of the street. The highly acclaimed Majura Primary, vibrant local shops and cafe, parks and all the facilities of the Dickson centre are close by. It is of course just a short drive or pleasant cycle into the Central Business District.

This much loved home has been cherished by its family and is offered to the market for the first time. A pleasure to inspect, it is easy to see why the owners have enjoyed living here for so long; be sure to take this rare opportunity to consider making it your own!
