Mature oaks form a dense canopy of shade along Blacket Street, adding to the charm of this peaceful and central, inner north location. Set well back from the street amidst its native garden, sheltered by an attractive timber screen, this privately built and tastefully modernised three bedroom home has instant appeal.
Stepping inside you will be captivated by the airy feel of the open plan living area, bathed in natural light from full length windows on three sides. Some are north facing in living and dining areas, allowing sunlight to pour in during the winter months. The higher ceiling also adds to the spacious feel. Beautiful polished ash flooring features through the living areas. From the dining area, a sliding cedar and glass door opens onto the rear timber deck, creating a smooth flow-through from living onto outdoor entertaining. From every window, the outlook into gardens is peaceful and private. Ducted gas heating and a reverse cycle air conditioner ensure year round comfort.
The bright and impressive new kitchen showcases the highest quality finishes, including generous Quantum quartz and recycled, spotted gum benchtops, stylish rangehood, Westinghouse stainless steel gas cooktop and oven, a walk-in corner pantry and many cupboards, while the European laundry adds to practical living.
Easy access from living areas onto the generous rear deck will make for effortless entertaining. Overlooking the completely private rear garden, this is a wonderful space in which to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet of the location.
Bedrooms are spacious and feature large windows, framing a private outlook to the gardens. All are furnished with white timber venetians and as new carpets in a neutral shade. The master bedroom is equipped with a wall of built-in robes. New floor tiling has been laid in the bathroom, which has bath, shower and a separate w/c.
The safely enclosed, level rear garden is attractively landscaped to be easy care and provides a grassy area for children and pets. The garage has a separate lock-up store or workshop at the rear and a paved area with a clothes line is discreetly positioned behind this.
The location offers the best of vibrant inner north culture and amenities. It is a short walk to coffee, restaurants and all other attractions of the Dickson hub, as well as parks, ovals and recreation facilities, including the wonderful Dickson swimming pool. The Next Gen sports club at the Lyneham Tennis Centre and Yowani Golf Club are also close by. The much anticipated Downer shops are nearby and once completed will be a great meeting place for locals as they overlook the playing fields which are surrounded by magnificent old pine trees.
Being 'in area' for a selection of well-regarded schools, from the local Cotton Street preschool, to nearby primary, high and colleges, this is a perfect location for any family. The ANU, University of Canberra and the Catholic University in Watson are all also within easy reach. There are great bike paths into the City Centre and ANU. A huge and additional benefit will also be the short walk to the future light rail route.
