Positioned in a peaceful loop street in tightly held Hackett, 17 French Street presents an exceptional opportunity to secure a classic 1960s home on a generous 821sqm parcel of land. Privately screened from the street by established trees and shrubs, the home enjoys a leafy outlook and a wonderful sense of seclusion from the moment you arrive. To the rear, a prized north-facing garden and large double garage complete the picture of space and possibility.
Mostly original yet thoughtfully refreshed, the home has been freshly painted and fitted with new carpet in the hallway and bedrooms, creating a clean and comfortable foundation for its next chapter. The living and dining areas showcase beautiful hardwood floors, adding warmth and character, while a new double-glazed sliding door connects the dining room seamlessly to a brand-new rear deck - the perfect spot to enjoy the sunshine streaming into the expansive backyard.
Accommodation includes four bedrooms, two with built-in wardrobes. The main bedroom enjoys a peaceful corner position with a window to the front, while another large bedroom (or second living area) to the rear has windows on two sides and its own door opening directly to the garden - a lovely retreat with a touch of privacy. The fourth bedroom is equally suited as a home office or study, offering flexibility for growing families or those working from home.
The bathroom is well appointed with both a bathtub and separate shower cubicle, while a separate WC provides everyday practicality. Adding further versatility is a dedicated laundry room with direct access to the garden and an additional shower cubicle - ideal for busy households, guests, or a quick rinse after time spent outdoors.
The kitchen is equipped with a new Miele dishwasher, ready for immediate convenience. Comfort is assured year-round with ducted evaporative cooling throughout, while the living room also features a gas fireplace, ceiling fan and reverse cycle air conditioning unit for tailored climate control.
Outdoors, the large north-facing backyard offers ample space for children, pets, future landscaping or even an extension. The substantial double garage provides excellent storage and workshop options in addition to secure parking.
Located just moments from the walking trails of Mount Majura, the local cafés and conveniences of Hackett and Watson Shops, and the EPIC Farmers Market, this is a lifestyle address that blends tranquillity with accessibility.
Whether you're looking to move straight in, renovate over time, or capitalise on the generous block in a blue-chip Inner North location, 17 French Street is an opportunity not to be missed.
