There is the perfect blend of mid-century beauty and beautiful contemporary additions. Arrayed across two levels with social spaces occupying the ground floor, there is a wonderful connection with outdoors. Part of a sociable enclave of similar vintage homes, and a few steps from local shops and schools, the peaceful locale is rich in leafy community feels, whisper close to all the epicentres of the inner north.

Sheltered by a magnificent street ash tree, the façade is significant for its heritage brick work, terrace style and classic portico. The welcoming porch with its flat roofline, aqua panels and fixed clerestory windows is delightfully mid-century. A driveway follows the fence line, draped in purple flowering wisteria and ushering to a gated single garage.

There is a spot to hang coats and bags just inside the door and some deep storage under the stairs including a wine cellar. A dining table is set beneath floor to ceiling windows in a haven of light and aspect. There is an adjacent laundry and toilet that opens to the garden.

Walls have been removed, augmenting the natural light as both kitchen and living spill to landscape. High ceilings, golden timber floors marry with walls painted in soothing river pebble, offset with crisp white trim. The red brick hearth set with gas heater is a wonderful focal and gathering point, the long, elegant living space merging to reflective deck beneath the ever changing displays of a liquid amber. Art and loved objects benefit from the continuity of natural light that works its way deep into the social space from both north and west.

The light and bright kitchen is unabashedly modern with banks of white storage meeting the pink hues of Tassie Oak laminate worktops. We love the duck egg blue ceramic splashback that matches perfectly with the soft curtains. There is plenty of space for family and friends to gather at the breakfast bar, the conversation flowing and many hands making light work.

One imagines spending most of the summer months on the large deck that looks out over the soft lawns of the rear gardens…the table set for plenty, dining alfresco with family and friends, under the shade of the trees.

The original hardwood timber stairs usher to a trio of bedrooms that float within the tree branches. There is a study nook on the landing beneath a large window, gifting a treehouse vibe while you create. The family bathroom is elegantly appointed in white on white, with textural subway tiling, tons of vanity and mirrored storage, warm timber counter top and relaxing tub.

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, coveted. 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. A few steps from Hackett shops and handy to transport and a variety of schools, the home is enviably positioned, a mere 7 minutes from the ANU and CBD.
