5 Madigan St, Hackett ACT 2602

Arrayed across two levels, this three bedder delivers all the features we have come to expect from a 60s Canberra duplex - high ceilings, textured double brick walls and warm timber floors. The home occupies a wonderful position, moments from Hackett shops and is surrounded by parks and green spaces. The home is sheltered by private sprawling front gardens and a shady eucalypt, while to one side a private driveway ushers to a carport.

The balanced floorplan delivers open living downstairs and sequestered bedrooms that take in elevated views upstairs. There is a lovely circular flow beginning with the front foyer and encompassing a sunny dining space, kitchen and long living area that overlooks the gardens at both ends. Splashes of bright orange, pink and green punctuate the otherwise white walls, so perfect for displays of colourful art.

The kitchen has ample storage and includes rows of open shelving for curated jars, canisters and ceramics. Large windows are perfectly placed above the sink and there is the convenience of an adjacent laundry and toilet so nobody has to trapse upstairs. The laundry opens onto the long back garden, artfully paved with Canberra reds, gifting a peaceful journey past a mix of mature natives and exotics. There is also a citrus tree and raised vegetable beds for that garden to plate excitement.

The second floor is the exclusive domain of three peaceful bedrooms and a cute sage green bathroom with bathtub. The master bedroom has large windows with lovely views as do the additional two bedrooms. There is also space for a small study nook on the landing so you can work whist floating within the treetops.

Everything seems close at hand, you are within easy reach of several shopping centres, with great eateries and restaurants to choose from. The home is also right near transport and within and easy walk of a variety of schools and colleges. A short drive will take you to the CBD and ANU.
