Overview

Double-Glazed Comfort in the Heart of Hackett

* Open for inspection Sunday 9th August 12:45-1:15pm * Perfectly positioned opposite the Hackett Shops and just moments from schools, nature reserves and the thriving Dickson precinct, this beautifully refreshed two-bedroom apartment offers an outstanding opportunity for first home buyers, downsizers and investors seeking a home that's ready to enjoy from day one. Situated on the first floor, the apartment enjoys a desirable northerly aspect to both the living area and one of the bedrooms, allowing natural light to stream throughout the day. The open plan kitchen and living area creates a welcoming central hub, while the two similarly sized bedrooms offer flexibility to suit different lifestyles. One bedroom enjoys a sunny northern aspect and is finished with carpet, while the other features hybrid flooring and a double wardrobe with mirrored doors. Whether you prioritise natural light or additional storage, either room could comfortably serve as the main bedroom. Freshly painted throughout, the home also features brand new curtains to the living area and both bedrooms, along with a stylish new bathroom vanity and sink, giving the interiors a fresh, contemporary feel. A standout feature rarely found in older apartment complexes is the comprehensive double-glazing installed to every window in 2014. Not only does this significantly improve year-round comfort by reducing heat loss, outside noise and drafts, it also contributes to the apartment's impressive 6-star energy rating. Further updates include hybrid flooring throughout the kitchen, living area and one bedroom, carpet replaced in the second bedroom in 2020, and a new oven and cooktop installed the same year. The kitchen also provides a dedicated space for a washing machine or washer/dryer next to the installed dishwasher, allowing you to enjoy the convenience of internal laundry facilities without relying on the communal laundry. An allocated carport completes the package. The location offers exceptional convenience. Simply cross the road to enjoy the café, IGA supermarket, restaurants and everyday services at the Hackett Shops, while the Blue Gum primary and secondary schools are just a short stroll away. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate being only minutes from the walking trails and mountain bike tracks of Mount Majura, while the nearby bus stops provide convenient access to the CBD within 15 minutes and the vibrant Dickson shopping and dining precinct in just over 5 minutes. Whether you're looking to move straight in or secure a low-maintenance investment in a tightly held Inner North suburb, this is an opportunity not to be missed. 10 things to know: - First floor two-bedroom apartment - Living area and one bedroom with north-facing aspect - Double-glazed windows throughout - Freshly painted throughout - Brand new curtains to living area and both bedrooms - Brand new bathroom vanity and sink - Hybrid flooring recently fitted in kitchen / living area and one bedroom - Dedicated space for washing machine or washer/dryer - Impressive 6-star energy rating - Allocated carport What's nearby: - Hackett Shops - 130m / 2 min walk - Bluegum Schools - 260m / 4 min walk - Mount Majura Access - 550m / 8 min walk - Rosary Primary School - 1.1km / 2 min drive - Dickson College - 1.5km / 3 min drive - Dickson Shops - 2.7km / 4 min drive - EPIC farmer's markets - 3.2km / 7 min drive Strata: $1,026 per quarter (approx) Rates: $708 per quarter (approx) Land tax (for investors): $971 per quarter (approx) EER: 6.0 Built: 1971
