85 Phillip Avenue, Watson ACT 2602

Outside-the-box thinking has led to an incredible kitchen redesign in this updated duplex.

While still capitalising on the gorgeous north-easterly views into the backyard, the streamlined kitchen now winds its way into an L shape that incorporates a built-in pantry with immense quantities of storage. It then flows seamlessly to a similarly well-configured laundry.

Together, it presents an ideal layout to store the extra provisions needed for entertaining and keeps everything out of sight while guests mill around the adjacent living and dining area and the party-sized deck outside.

A guest toilet off the laundry adds additional guest amenity. Upstairs, renovations to the primary bedroom's built-in robe and the family bathroom have included welcome luxuries like a rainfall shower head.

Three bedrooms benefit from elevated, leafy views while a large multi-purpose room in the backyard has potential as an additional peaceful place to escape and work out, make music or work remotely.

This home also gives the luxury of time. Roll out of bed here and you can walk to Majura Primary School, Rosary Primary School, the Australian Catholic University or Dickson College in under 10 minutes. Stroll to the locally loved Knox Cafe, the award-winning Watson takeaway or Gang Gang Café and Bar in Downer for a weekend brunch. Dickson shops are a five-minute drive away and there are plenty of options to get you to the city in less than 15 minutes.
