3 Newton St, Hackett ACT 2602

Framed by high ceilings created by the angled butterfly roofline and a magnificent north facing window wall, the family room boasts a media projector and sound system capable of use as a cinema screen on the entire west wall of this second living room. The sliding glass doors open to a north facing private deck with views of an ancient gum tree home to local bird life, with gardens framed by privacy hedging.

The main living areas are open plan with kitchen connecting to dining room opening onto northern veranda, formal sitting room with slow combustion wood fire opening onto entertainer's back deck and adjacent covered BBQ area.

The kitchen includes gas 5-burner stove, new AEG pyrolytic oven, pantry wall enclosing refrigerator bay, and in-kitchen peninsular seating. With the sink overlooking dual aspect windows that run the length of the bench space, dishwashing no longer seems a chore as you overlook the display front lawns, shaded by old growth trees and spring bulbs.

The largest bedroom acts as a king size parent's retreat, including walk-in-robe with views to the fernery and large ensuite with deep soaking bath tub.

A generous 2nd master bedroom takes in northern views to front garden, with original timber built-in-cabinetry as a luxurious floor to ceiling wardrobe wall and modern ensuite. Fitting a queen size furniture set, with ample room for desk and sitting space, this 2nd master is no second choice, and would serve as a mother in law's suite or teenage dream pad.

To the rear, with original large wardrobes and private south facing garden wall, bedroom 3 is currently in use as a library. The shelving will be removed for the successful buyer, without which the room easily fits a double bed side tables, and desk.

The separate study is in use as a hobby room, but would be an ideal work from home retreat.

Back garden includes lawn, shed, established productive vegetable beds, and space for chickens.

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, coveted. Close to the dynamic precincts of Dickson, Braddon, it is also amenable to the charming inner-north centres of Ainslie, O'Connor and Lyneham, extending a vibrant mix of independent cafés and shops. Handy to transport and a variety of schools, the home is enviably positioned, a mere 10 minutes from the ANU and CBD.
