4 Madden Place is a standalone house. It is situated within the residential area of the Watson suburb.
The house is close to ACTION bus routes R9 and 50, with route 53 on Antill Street a short walk away. Phillip Avenue, serviced by the Canberra Light Rail line, is about 1‑2 km from the property.
Within walking distance are St Margaret's Uniting Church (≈0.4 km), Dickson District Playing Fields (≈0.8 km), Justice Robert Hope Park (≈1.1 km) and Calvert Park (≈1.2 km). The nearby Exhibition Park in Canberra (≈1.4 km) hosts events such as the National Folk Festival (≈1.6 km).
Watson sits on calcareous shales of the Canberra Formation, often overlain by Quaternary alluvium. These rocks include the limestone that gave the capital its original name, "Limestone Plains."
Watson is bordered by the Federal Highway, Phillip Avenue and Antill Street, offering direct routes to Civic and Gungahlin. Traffic volumes on these corridors have risen with ongoing development in nearby areas.
The former Starlight Drive‑In cinema, a piece of Canberra’s mid‑20th‑century entertainment history, is located about 1.6 km away. The area also once housed the Canberra Hog Farm (1929‑1956), part of the suburb’s early agricultural heritage.
