The gentle meander through well-tended gardens, past the swimming pool and under the canopies of flowering crepe myrtles and magnolias is quite the entry sequence. There is a peaceful hush as gentle breezes tease strappy grasses and neat rows of white villas gift a Mediterranean holiday feel.
Set within the old Starlight drive-in cinema, complete with original and restored iconic signage, everybody has a fond memory, from hiding in the boot, to first-dates or piling the kids in the car and heading out for a night beneath the stars and the big screen. Speakers were hung on the sides of classic cars and there was a heady combo of steamy windows, romance and popcorn. Awash with good vibes and with a friendly neighbourly spirit, the complex fosters togetherness with communal green areas and a sparkling pool to gather around on hot summer days.
This two-bedroom ensuite apartment, rests on the ground floor and flows to a deep balcony. Within, new bamboo flooring gleams underfoot and sunlight bounces off crisp light walls. The open plan living, dining and kitchen feels generous as walls of glass sliders contribute to an airy simplicity. The coolness of the green garden surrounds float within and the apartment is wonderfully temperate with minimal need for cooling in the summer. We love the drift to the deep balcony, so perfect for alfresco living with its magical combo of open-air connection and cosy enclosure.
The kitchen occupies one corner of the vast social arena and is finished in a fresh light scheme. The long breakfast bar is a place to gather, sit and socialise. Banks of cabinetry provide seamless storage as stainless-steel appliances and a dishwasher from Miele, take care of culinary creativity, and make entertaining for family and friends a breeze.
A hallway nicely separates the bedrooms from the rest of the home. Both rooms share a leafy, dappled tranquillity as plantation shutters insulate and filter the light. Both rooms have built-in-robes to keep the clutter at bay, ensuring a minimal grace. The master bedroom benefits from a large ensuite bathroom finished in buttery cream tiles with a pop of Eucalypt green. There is also a large family bathroom finished in the same restful scheme, with relaxing tub and discreet laundry.
Despite the coveted inner-north locale the home is informed by the calm of nature and nudges the bush land of Mount Majura. Whisper close to the local EPIC markets, where locals have a weekly ritual each Saturday to buy their fresh produce. Transport is at your door, including the light rail which whisks you straight to the CBD.
Watson is a vibrant, inner-north suburb with great community vibes, fabulous local shops, plenty of playgrounds and parks and is surrounded by natural reserves. Enjoy great coffee, fabulous pizza at The Knox, or dine out at the Filipino eatery, Lola and Lola. The home is a nice stroll from Majura Nature Reserve and is just a short drive from the Dickson and Braddon precincts, ANU and the CBD.
