Loved and enjoyed by the one family for decades!
Held tightly by the one family for decades, this spacious home occupies a privileged position on the curve of Verco Street and sits directly across from the reserve. The house rises from a big corner block and features well-tended and established wrap-around gardens. There's lots to love about this sprawling four-bedroom residence with its wonderful mix of living spaces and the bonus of a separate office/multi purpose room tucked away under. An irreplaceable old soul imbues the home with a felt sense of character while clever updates make for flexible family life.
Verco is a whisper quiet and highly coveted street, across from Mount Majura Nature Reserve, serving up a mix of dynamic urban and peaceful country living. The neighbourhood is friendly and the street filled with lovely families, its a place where you can simply enjoy nature and the lifestyle on offer
As you stand in the front garden, beneath the age-old conifer, you can see the broad access to the reserve just across the way. The form is classic - blue stone foundation, red brick, peaked tiled rooftop. Garden pathways invite exploration, allowing you to travel beneath the trees, all the way around to the side gate that delivers you into the very private backyard. Here, neat paving and a stretch of synthetic grass provide dappled nooks for gathering and entertaining.
Within, there is the feel of story and history as the tones and textures of the past inform a mix of social spaces. Think a sunroom laid with golden patterned tiles, wonderful north-easterly light, and views out to the Brindabella's. Glass sliders open into the combined living and dining area with its timber shelving and bluestone hearth. The front door now opens onto a timber deck, forging a wonderful connection to outdoors.
The second living area communes with the kitchen and the distant mountains and features a metal funnel fireplace with a curved brick hearth. Think cosy nights, easy family togetherness, leafy privacy, and lots of timber shelves for display of your favourite books and objects. The kitchen has been updated over the years and delivers lots of cabinetry, and a free-standing, electric oven and cooktop.
Two of the bedrooms have built-in robes set with fabulous Jet Age door handles, and the large laundry retains a beautifully preserved vintage, double tub. Glass sliders open from the third bedroom onto a timber deck and accessibility ramp, which is perfect for living with older parents. The family bathroom has a bathtub and there is a separate toilet, with direct access to the back garden via the laundry. Beneath the house, a secret office allows you to get creative or work from home, informed by the peace of the garden. There is a single garage under with remote control door and a massive storage area that has walk in access.
Hackett is a private enclave with no through roads, protecting it from the hustle and bustle of the surrounding city. Known for its leafy streets, community values and direct access to green spaces and bush reserve it is tightly held. You can stroll down to the popular Hackett shops with 3rd Space and Siam Twist serving up great local meals. The home is also close to the dynamic precincts of Dickson, Braddon, and the charming inner-north centres of Ainslie, Watson, O'Connor and Lyneham, extending a vibrant mix of independent cafés and shops. Handy to transport and a variety of schools, the home is enviably positioned and is only a short drive from the CBD and ANU.
