31 Harris Street, Hackett ACT 2602

The modest frontage of this 1960s family home unfolds to reveal an extended floorplan that's perfect for large families.

On the market for the first time, it has some heartwarming and iconic period features, including a 'Mad Men' style timber half wall at the entry.

The large lounge sports a slow-combustion fireplace while an elevated niche adjacent currently houses the owners' bar, but could be turned into a home office.

This is a home that speaks of simpler times: cooking in the sunny kitchen while watching the kids play in the back yard; sharing a warming brew at the dining table with neighbours and friends; pottering around in the established veggie plot, and letting the sheets on the Hills hoist dry in the breeze.

The family room extends into the yard and has slider access to a covered terrace that's perfect for watching the outdoor action while a large space under the house could be used as a workshop, rumpus or media room.

With the Harris St playground virtually on your doorstep, and the Mount Majura Nature Reserve only seconds away, there are plenty of recreation options for the whole family.

There are also myriad schooling options and with Hackett shops in walking distance and Dickson's revamped centre just 5 minutes' drive away, it makes for a cheerful and compelling neighbourhood vibe.
