244 Antill St, Hackett ACT 2602

Tucked away behind lush gardens and directly across from the green belt and away from the main road, the home feels like a secluded hideaway from the get-go. Texture abounds as bagged walls in light sand, meet red brick detailing combining with a pop of sea blue. White gravel garden paths, strappy grasses and lots of mature, leafy trees set the scene.

The foyer and front living area introduce a note of sunshine yellow, earthed by bamboo flooring. Timber framed floor-up windows and glass sliders invite the garden within, you can step outside and bask in the northern light and take-in the weeping form of a cherry tree. A faux wall with a big cut-out allows visual connection into the grand dining space beyond. The whole social area reading like a big gallery, with an open flow on two sides, connecting the living, dining and kitchen.

Simplicity, colour and texture are the heroes within the spacious dining area which champions togetherness and large gatherings. Clever storage travels along on one wall and the long gallery wall is perfect for colourful pops of art.

The kitchen is spacious with its play of clean lines and pops of matt black. Big windows welcome lots of light and capture views of the pool and rear garden. The long green worktop nods to the leafy surrounds and contrasts with the crisp subway tiling and creamy cabinets. A big freestanding cooker stands to one side evoking fiesta time…think the easy delivery of a big communal spread and lots of delicious food delivered pool side. From the laundry you open directly onto layered modwood decking with a sheltering awning.

The master bedroom opens via glass sliders to the outside, where you can enjoy the view of the pool from your bed. Both additional bedrooms enjoy fabulous light and excellent storage. The lovely family bathroom features a freestanding bathtub and rain shower, with a clever conversion creating a second bathroom elegantly finished in floor-to-ceiling tiling.

The home is perfectly located behind the Antill Street green belt and across from Watson and Downer, minutes from the Dickson precinct and not far from the dynamic Braddon scene. It is an easy stroll to the Watson Woodlands and the walking and riding trails of Mount Majura. The home is also handy to transport and a variety of schools and colleges. It is an easy drive to the CBD and ANU with a walk directly up Phillip Avenue taking you to the light rail.
