About this property

Say hello to this freshly refreshed, light-filled first-floor apartment in the sought-after Starlight complex, tucked away in a leafy pocket of Watson, yet still dangerously close to everything good in life. Step inside and you're greeted by a bright, spacious open-plan living and dining area that flows straight out to a generous balcony, the perfect stage for your morning coffee ritual, sunset happy hours, or chillin' amongst the trees The contemporary kitchen is functional: stone benchtops, big pantry, quality stainless-steel appliances, and enough storage to hide all your impulse Amazon purchases. Both bedrooms are genuinely well-sized with built-in robes. The main has its own private ensuite so you can avoid awkward hallway negotiations in the mornings. The boring but brilliant stuff: Reverse-cycle air conditioning (because Canberra weather is chaotic) North-east aspect for that glorious morning light Two secure side-by-side underground car spaces + separate storage unit (yes, you can finally park like an adult) Full-height tiling and a proper bathtub in the main bathroom Starlight perks: beautifully maintained gardens, a sparkling residents' swimming pool, and ease of car, pedestrian and visitor access.
