Brilliant location in this tightly held street!
There’s a whole lot to love within this beautiful, upgraded 60s home, from the spacious four bedrooms to the art deco pelmets that adorn the big casement windows. Living is arranged in an airy open plan and the home spills to an elevated timber deck, perfect for entertaining, relaxing and enjoying the outlook on offer. There is the perfect blend of old and new, a certain irreplaceable old-world charm and plenty of space for family life to unfold with ease. The home is freshly painted in gentle white and new carpets have been laid, keeping things soft and cosy underfoot.
The home sits on a sleepy loop street and gazes north-east toward the surrounding and endless bushland reserve. It is an easy stroll to the popular Hackett shops, local schools and parklands. This is inner north living with a country twist, think abundant birdlife, peaceful surrounds and endless bushland trails.
There is a long driveway that ushers to picket gates and the original brick garage beyond. A paved garden path turns past a cornucopia of pretty plantings taking you up to the elevated front porch with its classic wrought iron balustrade.
Step into the generous foyer then through the lovely etched glass French doors that swing open to the graceful spacious living and combined dining space, this is just a delightful area. There is a nice circular flow into the renovated kitchen that deliver’s banks of storage in warm neutral tones. There is both a dedicated pantry and a separate coffee bay. Stone benchtops deliver a contemporary utility, and the tiled splashback is set with delicate glass mosaics. There are quality modern appliances, including a Miele oven and a dishwasher from Beko.
The master bedroom is glorious and light, with a giant window that frames the front garden. This is a special room, oh so spacious and dreamily serene with a wall of built-in-robes for seamless storage. Bedroom two also has a built-in-robe and features a corner window that welcomes morning light. Both additional bedrooms are also large and are informed by the tranquillity of the surrounding gardens. There is family bathroom with a bathtub and the convenience of a separate toilet.
Entertaining is easy, think sharing quality time with friends and family on the sheltered deck, overlooking the kids playing below. A large acacia provides dappled shade and the garden is home to productive trees including bay, pear and feijoa.
The home is handy to the dynamic precincts of Dickson and Braddon whilst being within easy reach to the charming inner-north centres of Watson, Ainslie, O’Connor and Lyneham, extending a vibrant mix of independent cafés and shops. Close to transport and a variety of schools, the home is enviably positioned, a mere 7 kms to the CBD.
