5 Gilbert Street, Hackett, ACT 2602 - More Details
Auction
Positioned in a peaceful horseshoe street is a much-loved family home that has been cherished by the same owners for almost 40 years. Now offered to the market for the first time, this lovely home is ready for a new chapter.
On a block of approximately 682 m2, in a slightly elevated position and set back from the street you are initially welcomed by attractive, colourful and mature gardens.
Close to the home's front entrance is a separate doorway which leads to a practical room, lending itself to being an ideal home office or study; perfect if business clients visit for meetings without the need to enter the residence.
Two generously sized living rooms provide plenty of space for family gatherings and entertaining. The main formal lounge is positioned at the front of the home, while the second, affectionately known as the "sunroom" enjoys views across the backyard and is located flowing beyond the kitchen, so when desired, this area it can be closed off.
Freshly painted and fitted with new carpet throughout, the home offers large living spaces, a flexible floorplan, and plenty of potential to personalise.
Sliding doors open directly to the large timber deck, creating an easy connection between indoor and outdoor living.
The home features three well-sized bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobes. A versatile room leading through to one of the bedrooms provides additional space for an additional study, hobby space or computer gaming room.
With a BBQ and ceiling fans, the large deck provides an inviting setting for relaxed meals and entertaining. Steps and ramp access offer added convenience, while the backyard includes two large water tanks, multiple garden sheds for storage and established garden areas. There is ample scope for veggie patches, children's play spaces or further landscaping.
A tandem, partially enclosed carport with an automatic roller door provides sheltered parking, while the attractive stencilled concrete driveway adds street appeal and creates additional off-street parking for family and guests.
The converted garage adds another layer of versatility. It includes three separate spaces, with a sink area offering plenty of storage, a combined w.c. and shower, plus a good sized room with built-in wardrobes. This area offers potential as a teenager's retreat, studio, hobby space or additional home office.
A huge array of solar panels complement the home's practical features. With fresh updates, substantial indoor and outdoor spaces and a flexible layout, this is an inviting opportunity to move in, enjoy the home and gradually make it your own.
We highly recommend an inspection to see the numerous benefits and realise that there is still so much more this property has to offer, as it is a home that keeps on giving.
