About this property

Privately positioned within one of Hackett's most tightly held and picturesque pockets, this exceptionally rare offering delivers a seamless blend of flexibility, privacy and lifestyle appeal. Just moments from the walking and mountain bike trails of Mount Majura Nature Reserve, the residence has been thoughtfully designed to support the evolving demands of modern living while offering a peaceful Inner North lifestyle of outstanding convenience. Set across an expansive 913sqm (approximately), the property is defined by remarkable adaptability. Whether accommodating extended family, providing independent living for older children, supporting a home business, generating supplementary income, or enabling a long-term multi-generational arrangement, this is a residence designed to evolve effortlessly with changing needs. Framed by established gardens and quality homes, the main residence immediately conveys warmth and ease. Refreshed interiors and generous picture windows invite natural light throughout, capturing leafy outlooks and enhancing the home's calm, connected atmosphere. At its heart, the open-plan living and dining domain flows to a well-appointed kitchen with breakfast bar seating, creating a natural hub for everyday living and entertaining. Accommodation is thoughtfully considered, with a generous main bedroom featuring an adjoining retreat, while the second bedroom opens directly to a covered rear deck overlooking beautifully maintained gardens and a charming bird aviary. A significant addition to the property is the approved, separately metered one-bedroom residence positioned privately at the rear. With its own entrance, living area, kitchenette, bathroom/laundry and dedicated parking, it offers complete independence and versatility for guests, family accommodation, or additional income potential. Further enhancing the property's flexibility is a self-contained studio discreetly positioned behind the oversized garage. With bathroom and wet bar facilities, it is perfectly suited as a creative space, home office, teenage retreat or additional accommodation. The surrounding gardens have been lovingly established over time, featuring mature plantings, fruit trees, vegetable beds and heritage roses, creating a serene and private outdoor sanctuary. Despite its tranquility, the home remains close to local schools, Hackett shops, the vibrant Dickson precinct, and some of Canberra's most loved nature trails. Homes of this calibre and adaptability are exceptionally rare in such a highly regarded Inner North setting.
