A peaceful area of north Watson near Mt. Majura, is the setting for this well presented two storey, three bedroom ensuite townhouse. Eucalypts line the approach along Aspinall Street while the autumn colours of Manchurian Pear trees welcome you into the attractive complex of 'Verona'. Well situated near the entrance, the home has an open outlook and excellent street appeal.
Stepping into the formal living area you will appreciate the presentation and privacy. Warm buttercup tones on the walls are deepened by afternoon sun and the home is kept cosy by a gas wall furnace. The spacious dining area will accommodate a large setting.
The bright informal living area faces north-east and has fresh white decor with a slate feature wall. White, double honeycomb blinds provide great insulation and add a crisp accent. Full length windows take in the outlook over the leafy rear courtyard garden and allow in plenty of light. External awnings assist in maintaining summer cool. The modern kitchen is equipped with an Omega four burner gas cooktop and stainless steel electric oven. There is good bench space with a breakfast bar, pantry and a large number of cupboards. From the meals area a sliding glass door opens onto the sunny and private, paved entertaining area, surrounded by trees and shrubs which are planted above a timber retaining wall. Salvia adds a splash of purple and there is a potted bay tree.
A powder room adjoins the laundry which provides internal access to the garage. Good security throughout gives peace of mind.
Carpeted stairs lead up to the three bedrooms and main bathroom. The master bedroom has a northerly outlook over the courtyard garden and is equipped with a wall of built-in robes and an ensuite bathroom. Bedrooms two and three also have built-in robes and an outlook to treetops. Bedrooms are furnished with quality wool Berber carpet and fine tab top curtains. They are served by the large main bathroom, which has a bath, shower, w/c and stylish plantation shutters. Coming downstairs your attention is drawn to the novel circular window above the staircase.
Coffee at local Watson shops is a pleasant stroll and all the restaurants and major facilities of the Dickson centre are only a short distance away. A pottery arts centre is directly opposite as well as a park with a pond. It is only a few minutes' drive to Gungahlin Marketplace or into Canberra's central business district and public transport is right at the front gate. Access to the future light rail route will be a great additional benefit. Trips up the Federal Highway are off to an easy start. The quiet location offers the pleasures of walking, mountain biking and horse riding on nearby Mt. Majura. With bushland on the doorstep and approximately ten minutes travel into the City, this inviting home offers great value in a superb location!
