12 Prell Pl, Hackett ACT 2602

Brimming with mid-century charm and oozing a distinctive organic feel, the home is a feast of texture and light, with internal brick walls and soaring ceiling heights. Generous spaces and expanses of glass forge an open-hearted connection with the landscape. The painted brick form is tucked away behind high courtyard walls and is immersed within meandering gardens that feature sculptural trees, climbing jasmine and wisteria.

Step into the huge front courtyard and onto the expansive veranda that is twined with old-growth vines and surrounded by green walls and neatly clipped topiary shrubs. Timber panelling, coach light, a wall of blue stone and bevelled glass sidelight, create quite the magical entry sequence, as the front door welcomes to a large foyer.

The whole family can enjoy time together within the central 'big room' that houses the kitchen, dining and living, opening via French doors onto the veranda and courtyard. Significant glazing's capture light and landscape and there is enough space for a large table so family and friends can gather, relax on comfy lounges and drift to the veranda on warm summer evenings.

The large open kitchen is all neutral cabinetry with pops of joyous bright red. There is a freestanding oven, rangehood, triple sink and two-drawer dishwasher from Fisher & Paykel. We love the additional breakfast bay, perfect as a curated coffee station and the door that opens onto a sunny timber deck, so you can spill with drink in hand, to the rear garden.

A long wide hallway ushers to three generous bedrooms and a central family bathroom. Both the master and the second bedroom have a wall of built-in-robes and leafy garden views. The third room is all raked timber ceilings and wall of casement windows that welcome golden light, extending the room to the veranda and front courtyard. This room has the flexibility to be utilised as a large bedroom/retreat or living space if desired.

The flat is generous and privately housed deep within the enormous garden block. There is a light filled living area with a signature wall of glass, the door can be flung open, welcoming nature within. There is a good-sized kitchen and upstairs a generous bedroom and additional bathroom. You have the option to rent this space out, keep as is for the extended family or perhaps incorporate to become part of the main home.

The home is ideally placed at the end of a no-through road, close to ovals, playgrounds and the local Hackett shopping centre, where you can grab a bite to eat or your daily essentials from the IGA. This peaceful locale places you within minutes of the dynamic precincts of Dickson and Braddon and is amenable to the charming inner-north centres of 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 only a short drive from the ANU and CBD.
