107 Madigan Street, Hackett, ACT 2602

A beautiful and considered renovation has ushered this 1960's AV Jennings build into the here and now. Bay windows, glass sliders and skylights harness the warmth of the sun, creating a solar passive home, with a whopping six star energy rating. The front living area banks the northern light, double glazing and other features making for a temperate jewel of a home, that is affordable to run all year round. 

It is a remarkably peaceful home, with its serene views across to parkland and gorgeous leafy gardens. Generous light filled social spaces forge a constant connection with nature, and a clever floorplan privatises the deluxe master suite that drifts privately to outside. But it doesn't stop there – sustainable upgrades, thoughtful design changes and a stunning organic materiality combine to create a home of ease and comfort, a masterclass in solar passivity and climate control.

There is a nice play of planes and angles, the house tucked behind the slopping rendered walls of a protected alfresco area. The front garden all native hedging and colourful cordylines, with a neatly finished driveway ushering to a carport with auto-roller door. The entryway setting the tone form the get go, the oversized custom door all vertical batons in toasted American Oak, creating a significant moment of warmth and welcome. 

Hybrid timber floors in silver top stringybark meet walls in White Polar Half with warming pops of Kahlua and Buff hide, delivering a harmony of soothing neutral notes. This is relaxed family living at its best, from the sunny front loungeroom with corner brick hearth, to the airy social hub that effortlessly combines the dining, family and kitchen, spilling directly to the gorgeous rear gardens and alfresco dining beneath the fig and walnut trees. 

In one corner a well-planned kitchen boasts a tonne of storage and quality appliances, including a Neff slide and hide oven and dishwasher from Asko make cooking easy. An island floats central, the brush box countertop curving to create a welcoming spot for family togetherness.

At the other end of the home the deeply serene master suite opens to a private walled garden nook…think cuppa in hand as you soak up the early morning sun. The bedroom itself merging to a roomy walk-in-robe and elegant ensuite. Three further peaceful bedrooms, all with built-in-robes centre around a family bathroom and separate bathtub. A skylight sits perfectly above the bath, so you can float beneath the stars. 

Hackett itself is one of the most tightly held communities, where there is no thru traffic and just a wonderful sense of pride amongst the locals. The local shops are just a short walk away, with their mix of relaxed eateries and essentials on hand. The home is handy to the dynamic precincts of Dickson, Braddon and amenable to the charming inner-north centres of Ainslie, O'Connor and Lyneham, extending a vibrant mix of independent cafés and shops. You are within and easy stroll of the walking and riding trails of Mount Majura and Mount Ainslie. The home is also close to transport and a variety of schools and colleges, with an easy drive taking you to the CBD and ANU.
