Magic position directly opposite parkland!
This lovely home sits behind a swell of garden and gazes out toward the playground and parkland whilst enjoying sunsets above the trees. The classic brick, sweet front porch and big casement windows deliver a signature vintage charm. The interiors have been updated, combining the old and the new, creating a soothing home with a sunny disposition that spills to a big north-easterly rear garden.
Slender eucalyptus trees, strappy native grasses and callistemons crowd the generous frontage. The garden sprawling in a natural curve, following the line of the loop street, the whole home informed by a gorgeous leafy immersion as garden and open parkland provide a feeling of acreage.
Inside the living, dining and kitchen flow together in a circular sweep which is perfect for family connection and entertaining. The kitchen has been renovated and serves up timber worktops, subway tiling and banks of crisp white cabinetry. There is a pantry with clever internal drawers and all-electric appliances. Large windows welcome northern light and there is a generous adjacent laundry that opens directly onto the private rear gardens.
A clerestory window illuminates the hallway that ushers to three peaceful bedrooms. The master is placed to the front, overlooking the garden and park. The second bedroom has a big built-in-robe and all three bedrooms sit near a nostalgic, family bathroom with mosaic tiled floors and pops of gorgeous eucalypt green. We love all the simple touches, decorative cornices, patterned glass and a welcoming foyer with timber hooks for hanging hats and a cupboard for winter coats and woollies.
Flat lawns wrap around the side of the home and trees edge the high fence lines. Rosemary peaks through bedroom windows…all around a feeling of peace and expansiveness. One imagines an extension that takes full advantage of the northerly aspect or perhaps simple garden bliss - growing fresh herbs and veggies, letting the kids play for hours, nurturing new plantings and welcoming birdlife into your special native ecology.
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. Close to the dynamic precincts of Dickson, Braddon, it is also amenable to the charming inner-north centres of Ainslie, O'Connor and Lyneham, extending a vibrant mix of independent cafés and shops. You are an easy stroll to Hackett shops and Bluegum Primary and Secondary schools. Handy to transport, the home is enviably positioned within an easy drive or bike ride of the CBD and ANU.
