6 Stanley St, Hackett ACT 2602

There is a lovely overhang of leafy branches, the home all humble charm from the get-go, the sweet red brick form hidden within a private and sun dappled leafy enclave. A stencilled driveway ushers to a single carport and a classic front portico shields the entryway.

Within, the natural world feels ever-present as multiple bedrooms frame secret garden nooks and the living area spills to a large timber deck that overlooks soft lawns. The home instantly feels good as light tumbles into every room, it really is a delight.

The adjacent kitchen and combined meals and family area is a treat, with banks of storage providing a spot for everything. Generous worktops meet tiled splash backs in a note of earthy clay, set against cabinetry in crisp white. Large windows look out onto the leafy frontage and there is a central island for gathering and meal prep, it really is a fabulous spot to chat as the chef of the home cooks up a storm.

The first bedroom reaches to meet the garden, as glass sliders open straight onto the deck. A slender hall connects to a family bathroom with a tub, and onward to a second bedroom, also with a built-in-robe. The bathroom is serenely finished in soft neutrals with a restrained touch of feature mosaics.

An additional two bedrooms are accessed via a generous office or study that overlooks a magnificent red flowering camellia. One of these rooms is the master, equipped with a wall of built-in-robes and an ensuite bathroom. The adjacent fourth bedroom also has a built-in-robe, with both rooms capturing light and landscape via large windows. This flexible array lends itself to a host of purposes – a spacious relaxing haven for the adults after a long day, inter-generational living, private domain for kids or guests and teen-retreat.

Stanley is a quiet loop street, ideally placed on the city side of Hackett, handy to Ainslie Village and within walking distance of Hackett Oval and shops. Surrounded by parklands, the home is also just a short walk to the bushland trails of Mt Majura.
