18 Hackett Gardens, Turner, ACT 2612

This stylishly updated and extended Canberra red-brick cottage sits in an incredible hidden garden enclave of homes on the fringe of the city centre and boasts a self-contained studio apartment with its own entrance and courtyard – perfect for extended family or rental potential. Positioned opposite parklands in a quiet loop street, it feels a world away from the bustling shops, cafes and the Australian National University campus,  but can be reached within minutes on foot.

Unfurling across a single level, the main residence maintains its characterful pedigree with high ceilings, casement windows and the retention of an open fireplace to the secondary sitting room. More modern, yet sympathetic additions include the streamlined kitchen with impressive Ilve rangehood, and a former garden conservatory which can been converted to a stunning open lounge with glass doors on three sides opening to the wraparound brick-paved terrace.

Bedroom privacy is assured with the ensuite master occupying its own wing on one side of the entry and 2 additional bedrooms on the opposite side benefitting from direct access to the sitting room. The generous stylish main bathroom features a ceiling-mounted rainfall shower and soaker tub. The addition of a large study nook and powder room off the kitchen provides great amenity for families.
