Positioned in arguably one of Canberra's most convenient and sought-after Inner North locations of Hackett, this three bedroom duplex is on offer for the savvy buyer. The location is deceptively quiet, with active birdlife at all times of the day.
The front and back cottage gardens are there for you to sit back and contemplate in a number of outdoor rooms, and the home itself is equally warm and inviting as it is, but ready for your own personal improvements if you wish.
The design of the Hackett duplexes has the benefit of large windows in all rooms, allowing the stream of sunlight at all times of the day. The large lounge room easily accommodates a dining room table, as well as a music corner and a TV area in front of the fireplace. The positive of the separate powder room downstairs is great for your visitors. The size upstairs is also brilliant, with two king sized bedrooms and a queen sized bedroom, all easily able to accommodate your future built-in sliding robes.
Your new home is walking distance to great transport options, as well as public and private schools and Signadou Watson University Campus. Jump on a bus near your front door to the Dickson Shopping and Restaurant Precinct and all that the Inner North offers in a blue chip high demand location.
The potential of this duplex is only limited by your imagination, so don't miss the opportunity to inspect.
Owner's Comments:
"I fell in love with this house even before I thought of buying in Canberra. I used to walk past it on my rambles, when I was renting nearby. The shape of this white house, nestling among the trees, windows like friendly eyes, attracted me. Little did I think I would end up owning it! It's a little over 30 years since I moved in, my first house purchase. It reminded me of a terrace house, and it is semi-detached, so that wasn't too far-fetched. It's been a pleasure living in this friendly suburb, so close to the city but worlds away with its trees, gardens, and the mountain just behind which I gaze at through my upper storey windows. Birds are always present, and I'll miss them when I leave. Neighbours on all sides are wonderful and I have made some good friends while living here. I wish the new owners all the very best, and I think how lucky you will be to take up residence in this lovely suburb and this lovely house!"
