3 French Street, Hackett, ACT 2602

Combo of a large home and separate self-contained studio - perfect for living and working from home!

This spacious north facing home sits at the high end of French Street and takes in views of the surrounding mountain ranges. There is a leafy quietness here, evoking a childhood nostalgia, of long summers, riding bikes to the park in the street and exploring the bushland trails of the nearby Mt Majura Reserve. Arrayed across two levels, the home is distinguished by its versatility, as a multitude of generous spaces unfold both down and up, providing plenty of choices for living and working from home.

The home makes the most of its elevated site, rising upwards to capture the beautiful vistas. There is a broad stretch of front lawn, established hedges and a dotting of mature trees that shelter and provide shade. 

Step inside to the sunny foyer, this is the perfect place to hang your winter woollies or take off your shoes with the handy cupboard providing you with ample storage. French doors take you into the sweeping living and combined dining area that is bathed in an abundance of light, with the corner windows capturing views of the surrounding landscape. The sense of elevation even on this first level is special, lending the dual privilege of both openness and privacy. 

With its perfect flow to the kitchen, the dining space is the place for evening meals or formal dinner parties. This area flows directly to an entertaining patio, privatised by some lovely metal screening. Here you can enjoy warm summer evenings, barbecues and relaxed entertaining with family and friends. 

A large picture window within the renovated kitchen frames the reaching arms of an age-old elm tree whilst also providing you with a delightful outlook over the leafy rear gardens. Banks of crisp white cabinetry take care of storage and there are quality stainless-steel appliances from Blanco, with a dishwasher from Bosch. Arranged in a galley style this sleek contemporary kitchen makes the most of every inch of space.

Also on this level are two bedrooms, the renovated family bathroom, separate powder room, office space and renovated laundry. Both bedrooms share peaceful garden aspects with one having the convenience of built-in robes. The bathroom is finished in soothing white tones with contrasting dark tiled floors, relaxing bathtub and large shower. 

Stairs take you to the extended second level, where generous rooms and large windows frame panoramic views of the landscape. You really are floating among the trees; the distant mountains ever present with a lovely feeling of big sky serenity. There is a second living area which would make the perfect library/sitting area with two huge bedrooms off this space. 

The master bedroom has the luxury of an ensuite, walk-in robe and balcony with wonderful mountain views to top it off. The remaining bedroom with built-in robe is the size of two with plenty of space to have your own private retreat, you will be amazed. Window after window frames the horizons and you can see the iconic Telstra Tower. This entire level provides you with the versatility to utilise in many ways.

Generously planted gardens stretch to the rear of the home, where a private self-contained studio is sheltered by mature trees. This is a large open space, fully equipped with kitchen and bathroom. Think guest accommodation, teen retreat, or a place to work from home. It would also lend itself beautifully to creative pursuits, informed by the inspiration of nature, and a deep, essential peace among the trees.

This sleepy pocket in the coveted suburb of Hackett feels blissfully serene yet is just moments from the Dickson and Braddon precincts plus an easy drive from the CBD and ANU. Hackett shops are not far, with a mix of relaxed eateries, cafes, and essentials. Think great community vibes and coffee from Siam Twist or excellent pizza from 3rd Space. It is an easy stroll to the to the extensive walking and riding trails of Mount Majura Nature Reserve. The home is also handy to transport and a variety of schools and colleges including the Australian Catholic University.
