56 Maitland St, Hackett ACT 2602

There is a gated, single garage and plenty of off-street parking on the wide private driveway. Blonde brick combines with the warm tones of vertical shadow cladding and neatly peaked terracotta-coloured rooftops.

Within abundant light and decorative cornices set the tone as fresh paint in neutral tones coalesces with a mix of some new carpet and easy-care timber look vinyl flooring. With ample space for an active family, the home has an ideal spatial arrangement that caters for growing and changing, coming together and being apart, as both upstairs and downstairs align sunny social arenas with clusters of peaceful bedrooms.

The original brick hearth, sits centrally within the front living room, making for a wonderful focal and gathering spot on cold winter nights. There is the feeling of dwelling within nature, sunbathing in warming light, as floor to ceiling windows bring the outside in. French doors inset with etched glass can be thrown open in summer, welcoming cross breezes and access to front patio.

Large windows frame glorious views up to Mount Majura and a leafy avenue of street trees, as sweeping countertops and banks of deep drawers, abundant cabinetry and a walk-in-pantry, create a place for everything. Sleek stainless-steel appliances take care of business as efficient design maximises space and utility within this bright family hub. Think easy family meals, the conversation flowing to-and-fro from the meal's area, and plenty of space to accommodate helping hands.

Downstairs the three bedrooms in pearlescent shades of plum and grape reflect the sunlight and centre around a jack-and jill family bathroom with tub. The second bedroom enjoys direct access to the bathroom, tiled in soothing neutrals with ribbon of mosaics in organic hues.

A hallway flows to a large rumpus room with adjacent internal laundry and powder room, this area has the flexibility to become self-contained with plumbing and electrics tucked away to accommodate this. Tons of clever under stair storage hide the clutter and large format ceramic flooring make this a hardy arena, able to cope with kids' crafts and adult hobbies alike. Vintage doors set with bevelled glass usher to the large sunny back garden, edged with shady, mature trees.

As we move upstairs we love the golden etched glass in the French doors that privatise the sweeping upstairs living area. This beautiful and peaceful space is characterised by glass sliders that welcome light and landscape. From the balcony you can see the twin peaks of Mount Ainslie and Mount Majura and the leafy canopies of ancient tree tops. There are an additional two bedrooms and a bathroom on this upper level. Think home office combined master, a relaxing haven for the adults after a long day. Think endless possibilities - inter-generational living, private domain for kids or guests, teen-retreat - a rare gift of space and unparalleled flexibility; choices to celebrate and enjoy.
