Perfectly positioned on one of Campbell's most tightly held streets, 7 Jacka Crescent offers the ideal blend of lifestyle, liveability, and long-term potential. Framed by leafy surrounds and the magnificent backdrop of Mt Ainslie, this charming home is just a short stroll to local shops, the Campbell 5 precinct, and some of Canberra's most desirable schools. Whether you're looking to settle in, update over time, or explore a dream rebuild, this is an address where opportunity meets location.
Lovingly held by the same family for an incredible 66 years, the home's enduring appeal is a testament to the lifestyle on offer here. Solidly built in 1957 with monocrete and brick veneer construction, it has stood the test of time with a warmth and character that's hard to find today. A northerly extension, added in the 1970s, welcomes natural light and views toward Mt Ainslie, creating a peaceful and inviting living space.
The layout includes three well-sized bedrooms, a functional kitchen, and a single bathroom, with ducted gas heating and a split system in the main living area for year-round comfort. The home sits privately on a 649m² block, with a generous street setback, grassy backyard, and no unapproved structures – a solid canvas for future plans. A rear garage adds practical storage and flexibility.
What truly elevates this opportunity is the location. From your doorstep, enjoy a short walk to Campbell's popular village shops and cafés, the Campbell 5 precinct, and highly regarded schools. Mt Ainslie's walking trails and the Lake Burley Griffin foreshore are just a bike ride away, while Russell Offices, the Parliamentary Triangle, Canberra City, and the airport are all just minutes by car. This is inner north living at its best – quiet, connected, and full of potential.
