Set back behind soft lawns and a sheltering tree is this charming home with its white brick façade, timber windows and a welcoming front terrace being enclosed by low courtyard walls.

This much loved home has been enjoyed by the one family since the 60's and sits at the high end of French Street, a few steps from Mount Majura Reserve. This is a sleepy pocket, where the kids play and neighbours chat freely in the middle of the road, there is also a mix of renovated homes, stunning new builds and vintage charmers. Number 8 is both blessed numerologically and ideally placed, close to peaceful bushland walking trails and the park at the end of the street, it really is a brilliant location.

This four-bedroom ensuite home is calling out for an imaginative restoration. With great bones, beautiful vintage features and excellent spatial arrangement, including two sweeping living areas, a secluded master and an easy flow to outdoors, the home is primed for someone to add their touches or build their dream home.

Think gathering around the fireplace in the front living area in the chilly winter months and in the warmer months the doors can be flung open, for quiet repose and entertaining alike, with its leafy setting providing a private area to relax. There is space for living and dining within this lovely room, that connects so easily to the central kitchen.

An enclosure just outside the kitchen is both a great mudroom and fab opportunity for pushing the kitchen out, enlarging this original space for modern family life. Either way, this central hub, with its adjacent meal's nook is brimming with potential, perfectly placed and functional and the perfect gathering area, flanked on both sides by spacious living areas.

The second living area feels broad and generous and flows directly to the elevated timber deck. Adjacent the spacious master bedroom also opens deck side and is set with ample storage and an ensuite bathroom.

The three other bedrooms are ideally separated from the master, housed privately at the front of the home. Each of the bedrooms have leafy views plus robes and centre around a neat family bathroom with a tub and there is also the convenience of a separate toilet.

There is a large paved and sheltered alfresco area that is easily able to cater for large family gatherings with the smaller elevated timber deck being perfect for that morning or afternoon cuppa.

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 and 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 variety of schools, the home is enviably positioned within a short drive of the CBD and ANU. Come and discover what a wonderful place Hackett is to live, as locals ourselves we know how special it is.
