Idyllic location on the foothills of Mount Majura Nature Reserve!

The eastern side of the home gazes out to the colours and textures of the Australian bush, while to the west you can stand deck side and take in the Brindabellas. Architecturally designed and tucked away at the end of a dual occupancy block, low lying, settled within native gardens, the home feels meant to be. Clean modernist lines combine with an organic materiality to deliver an earthed and honest lived experience. Family flexibility is championed via generous open spaces with an easy spill to the outdoors and the treat of a separate apartment.

This discreet four-bedroom two-bathroom home has the feel of a bush retreat despite its inner north credentials. A long driveway ushers to a double carport with lofty ceilings and immediate entry into the home. The form is nestled within the site, all brick with timber windows and a flat roofline that extends to provide shelter along the western side. Here a bankable window creates a servery onto the kitchen, perfect for entertaining. The front deck a broad stage for life informed by a looming Mt Ainslie, and stunning sunsets above the distant ranges. During the cooler months when the tree canopies drop their leaves you can see all the way to Telstra Tower.

Inside rows of exposed ceiling beams add spatial depth and warm jarrah floors stretch underfoot. The open plan kitchen, living and dining is a generous affair that looks both ways, with a big window capturing afternoon light and glass sliders opening to the east and the endless reserve. We love the way you can step outside and hang within the sheltered alfresco nook, or meander the path, past the native gardens and around the house to discover shade dappled lawns. There is a gate that gifts direct access to endless walking trails and plenty of inquisitive visitors – birdlife, kangaroos and lizards that come to sunbake within the garden.

The renovated kitchen gleams white and delivers a ton of storage with striking black stone worktops butting reflective glass splash backs. The appliances are from Miele and include a dishwasher and there is enough space for a central table for relaxed togetherness. There is nice chatty vibe across the whole space so conversations can flow while you get comfy on lounges or sit for more formal dinners.

The hallway ushers to three peaceful bedrooms and a large family bathroom with a bathtub. All of the rooms have built-in-robes while two are informed by the immediate presence of the bush. Sequestered on the opposing side of the home is a large separate living area/home office that steps down to a self-contained apartment. This versatile space operates as the fourth bedroom or could easily be utilised as a rentable space, teen retreat or spill over guest accommodation. It serves up a kitchenette, bathroom and doors on two sides, gifting direct access from the carport and spill to the tranquil rear garden and reserve beyond.

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 great choice of schools, the home is enviably positioned, a mere 6.4 kms to the CBD.
