#soldbymcreynolds #soldbycris $965,000Wonderful northerly aspect and filled with abundant light!This lovely vintage home has a gentle order and an easy connection to a long back garden with a wonderful country feel. Leafy Haddon Street is dotted with similar two-storey, semi-detached abodes, creating quite the mid-century club. We love the famed form; the old world soul combined with modern updates. The balanced plan places a mix of social spaces on the ground floor, privatising the intimate wing upstairs that captures elevated tree top views. And the locale is just right - a few steps from local shops and schools, whisper close to all the epicentres of the inner north. The faade has been updated painted in a combo of cream and grey, the windows replaced with efficient double glazing. The terrace style with classic portico still instantly recognisable, a significant part of Canberra's architectural story. There is a private front garden and a driveway ushers to a gated garage that sits deep within the block. The lovely living and dining are arranged in an open plan design with glass sliders that spill deskside. This way you can step outside on warm summer evenings and dine amidst the tranquillity of the garden. The original brick hearth sits central although the heating and cooling is now efficiently ducted, reverse cycle and all-electric.There is a nice flow to the kitchen/combined meals area which is currently used as a relaxed spill-over kitchen space, with extra storage and workspace. Light tumbles into the kitchen via the big window that sit above the sink, framing the pretty gardens. We love the original rounded timber handles, the banks of cabinets and the updated appliances that include a dishwasher.There is an adjacent laundry with a second shower and direct garden access. There is also a downstairs toilet so nobody has to traipse upstairs which is perfect for family life and entertaining.The original hardwood timber stairs usher to a trio of bedrooms, all with big windows, lots of light and lovely treetop views. There is a study nook on the landing beneath a large window that perfectly frames Mount Majura. The master bedroom has a big built-in-robe and the family bathroom is a joy in rose pink, with mosaic floor tiling and a relaxing bathtub. 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. You are also close to the dynamic precincts of Dickson, Braddon and the CBD and public transport is just down the road. There is a great choice of schools including Blue Gum and the local pre-school with North Ainslie Primary School, Rosary and Dickson College not far away. features..feel good three-bedroom double brick semi-detached duplex in leafy Hackett.light filled with soulful period details and modern updates.northern light floods both upstairs and down and the courtyard is sun drenched all year round.floating timber floors.double glazed windows.large living area combined dining space, with original brick hearth.glass sliders that open to a sheltered timber deck and generous garden.kitchen with lots of storage and updated appliances including a dishwasher.meals area with added kitchen storage .internal laundry with shower and separate toilet .vintage timber stairs .office nook with mountain views.three bedrooms upstairs with elevated leafy views.master with built-in-robe.warm pink tiled bathroom with bathtub.two reverse cycle electric split systems.instant hot water .Crimsafe security door and crimsafe screens to the kitchen and lounge room window.private gated driveway.single garage with storage .rear garden with soft lawn, vegetable beds and mix of shady trees.kid's cubby house.water tank .easy stroll to Hackett shops, Bluegum Primary, the local pre-school, Tyron Street Playground and Mount Majura Nature Reserve.close to a great choice of schools and the Australian Catholic University.handy to Ainslie shops and close to the bustling Dickson and Braddon precincts.easy drive to the CBD and ANUEER: 4Land Size: 404m2 approx.Land Value: $612,000Rates: $3,763 approx. per annum
