21 Haddon St, Hackett ACT 2602

The home is perfectly placed on the curve of a loop street, moments from local schools and the popular Hackett shops. This ideal inner north locale delivers the best of both worlds – quiet urban pleasure, a surrounding of parks and reserve and easy connection to a cornucopia of cultural, shopping and foodie offerings.

The classic red brick form is set back from the street, nestled within the silvery green foliage of its immaculate gardens. A crushed granite path edged with Corten steel cuts its way through a swell of soft lawn. The front patio is elevated and broad, with striking decorative wrought iron balustrade. New double glazing echoes the original large windows, finished in crisp white.

There is a spot to hang coats and bags just inside the front door, edged with sidelight in amber, circular patterned glass. The large front living area graced by afternoon light and the delights of painterly garden scenes. We adore the renovated brick fireplace, complete with Stuv slow combustion fireplace and Victorian Ash mantle to match the floating shelves, all from Thor's Hammer.

The welcoming family hub waits beyond, bathed in golden north-easterly light, augmented by large glazing's and an epic sky light. Here a combined dining and living space spills to a curated deck and garden. The excellent kitchen is arranged generously in one corner and delivers ample storage in a delightful splash of blue, grounded by earthy Thors hammer timber worktops. There is a large window above the sink, perfectly framing the blue grey leaves of an acacia, just now budding with golden flowers.

The bedrooms continue the theme of white-washed serenity with timber floors and delicate sheer curtains. The master bedroom opens directly onto the front patio and has a large window that captures the trees. Both additional bedrooms share leafy outlooks and the family bathroom delivers a relaxing bathtub and rain shower. Here blue floor tiles and a delicate mosaic border echo the kitchen, creating cohesion. While a ribboned glass window feels oh so in sync with the character of the entire home.

Fiesta lights set an evening mood and it is easy to imagine entertaining on the newly extended rear deck…comfy lounges, the bliss of gathering outside. The surrounding garden effortlessly curated to evoke natural habitat, there is a dedicated firepit area to one side, a nice gradation and layering, an abundance of soft foliage, vegetable beds and a delicious privacy.

Hackett is a private enclave with no through roads, protecting it from the hustle and bustle of the surrounding city. Known for its leafy streets, community values and direct access to green spaces and bush reserve, it is tightly held. Close to the dynamic precincts of Dickson, Braddon, it is also amenable to the charming inner-north centres of Ainslie, O'Connor and Lyneham.
