Hackett ACT 2602

This home retains many of its original mid-century features, thoughtfully paired with careful updates that make every day living easy. Light-filled living spaces connect naturally to the garden and reserve beyond, creating a relaxed home equally suited to family life or entertaining.

At the centre of the home, the renovated kitchen blends style and practicality. Caesarstone benchtops, a striking pressed tin splashback, generous storage and a Bosch oven with gas cooktop are complemented by a large island bench - the natural gathering place for cooking, conversation and casual meals.

The adjoining living area is warmed by a slow combustion fireplace, creating a cosy retreat during Canberra's cooler months, while gas heating and reverse cycle air conditioning provide year-round comfort.

Accommodation includes four generous bedrooms and three bathrooms, offering excellent flexibility for families. The main bedroom includes a spacious walk in robe and ensuite, while two additional bedrooms include built in wardrobes.

At the rear of the home, a light-filled sunroom captures peaceful views across the garden and reserve beyond.

Stepping out onto the deck, the garden unfolds as a series of outdoor rooms. Beautifully landscaped and connected by whimsical brick pathways, the space includes a grassy area ideal for children and pets, evenings around the fire pit, established trees and low-maintenance paved areas. A storage shed provides practical space for bikes and gardening equipment.

The separate powered studio with garden views adds valuable versatility, ideal for working from home, creative pursuits or guest accommodation.

Additional features include a 1.5kW solar system, underfloor and in wall insulation, rainwater tanks (3000L, 1000L, 600L), an oversized double garage, carport and additional driveway parking.

All of this set in a superb Hackett location - moments to local shops, schools and parks, and only minutes to Dickson and the City.
