Just moments from the foothills of Mount Majura Reserve!

Beautifully cared for over the years, this charming five-bedroom two-bathroom home is a wonderful soulful find and spills to an idyllic rear garden. Imagine green walls and seclusion, sheltered alfresco gatherings, a surrounding of hydrangeas, clipped topiary and white flowering oleander. Modern updates combine with vintage delight, the clever plan delivering flexibility and separation – perfect for modern family life.

This calm home sits on beautiful French Street, a few steps from Mount Majura Reserve and the park that is just down the road. This is a sleepy pocket, where neighbours chat freely in the middle of the road and kids play.

There is a lovely friendliness to the home from the get-go with its big windows, abundant light and feature panelling. We love the elevated entryway and the solid timber doors that bookend the home. Within a mix of classic slate brown hues and soft whites deliver a mid-century feel.

The living and dining are generous and central, with glazing’s that invite the garden within. The renovated kitchen is handily adjacent and has space for a meals table and big windows that frame the rear garden and the mountain beyond. The appliances are quality and all electric and there is ample cabinetry and benchtops. Think relaxed family meals and an easy flow to the living and dining area, perfect for entertaining.

The master bedroom is perfectly sequestered to the north, and serves-up a wall of vintage robes, complete with inset dressing table. Here big windows on two sides capture the lovely serenity of the gardens and there is the privacy of an adjacent bathroom. There is a separate wing with four bedrooms and two bathrooms that is ideal for the growing family and guests.

A nearby laundry has excellent storage and two-way entry, allowing you to flow through to the kitchen. The private rear garden and lawn area is ideal for the kids to run around and play, it is also perfect for a morning cuppa and summer festivities beneath the sheltering pergola.

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. Handy to transport and a variety of excellent schools, the home is enviably positioned within an easy drive of the CBD and ANU.
