On a quiet loop street, in a private enclave, overlooking parkland, lies 33 Hackett Gardens, within the coveted suburb of Turner. This premier location – on the edge of the city centre, and within easy reach of the independent shops, cafes, restaurants, of the inner-north – is tightly held and desired.
Grand but not intimidating, the homes' interior is both glamorously moody and sophisticated. Impressive in scale, with a charming balance of private and social arenas the home, easily caters for the changing demands of the ever-evolving modern family. There is the luxury of choice between the more intimate spaces. Foremost lies the formal living and dining area with working fireplace. Further through a more casual lounge and dining connected by the impressive kitchen. A reading room, a secluded oasis adjoining the kitchen and casual dining - that all merge to a sheltered porch and gardens beyond.
The impressive kitchen - generous storage including double pantry, wine storage room, double oven, gas cooking hob, enormous island bench - easily accommodates catering staff, for events, with over 100 guests.
There are all the refined details you would expect of a home of this calibre - timber flooring made from a trio of Queensland hardwoods, skylights that bounce light into the hallways, timber French doors, excellent insulation, ducted heating, intercom, keypad entry, internal access from double, automatic garages. Bespoke, stained-glass windows, designed by the owner, feature in all three bathrooms.
The master bedroom, with ensuite, walk-in-robe, enormous picture windows. This quiet, parent's retreat, is instilled with a sense of calm, lingering over a cup of tea in bed, morning light, slowly brightening the garden. Three bedrooms adjacent to a central internal courtyard, introducing light and the changing autumnal colours of Japanese maples, into the centre of the house. On the other side of the home there is a sunny home study and guest retreat with ensuite, walk-in-robe, opening to private courtyard with mature camelias and hydrangeas.
The rear garden, with sheltered and open alfresco dining spaces, secluded by high hedge walls, shaded by fig, olive, cherry, plum and pomegranate trees. The true centre piece is the pizza oven which provides the feeling of an Italian piazza- a lively meeting place for new traditions with family, friends and neighbours. Paths meander past assorted flowering plantings, pond, vegetable and herb garden.
