76 Rivett Street, Hackett, ACT 2602

Much loved home on nature's doorstep!

There is just something about this much-loved family home nestled within a lush natural enclosure of beautiful, curated gardens. You feel welcome from the get-go, tempted to linger on the front veranda and imagine your life here… perfectly connected to nature and just so relaxing. 

Some homes manage an ideal balance of spaces, seamlessly connecting the old with the new and number 76 Rivett doesn't disappoint with its classic mid-century charm and modern updates, right down to its precision fresh paintwork, both inside and out. 

This four-bedroom ensuite family home has been beautifully renovated and is ideally placed, edging French Street and facing Mt Majura Reserve, connected to all the local delights of the inner north. This is quintessential Hackett, leafy and tranquil with ready access to a myriad of bushland biking and walking trails, peaceful parklands and all the while, just moments from all the enticements of the city.

Within new hybrid timber flooring stretches to meet walls in natural white, as large windows welcome a blessing of light. There is a trio of airy social spaces – front living room, central kitchen/combined dining and sunken family room. It's a fabulous mix, catering for every mood and occasion. The family room ideal for cosier times in front of the gas fireplace or for welcoming summer breezes via the glass sliders that spill to the alfresco patio and private rear gardens.

The stunning brand-new kitchen is perfectly arrayed with an island and long peninsula for congregating. The elegant combo of crisp white and warm timber hues, stone worktops and kit kat tiled splashback, is a delight and there is plenty of storage to keep life minimal. There is a 90cm oven and induction cooktop from Miele and a sleek stainless-steel dishwasher from Bosch, making family meals and entertaining effortless.

There are four excellent sized bedrooms, three with built-in robes, all with new  carpet and glorious leafy views. The master has the luxury of a lovely ensuite bathroom with crisp white tiles and earthy feature mosaics. The excellent family bathroom with a relaxing bathtub is also finished in crisp white.

The corner block is large, with a beautiful mix of natives, fruiting trees and tall shady evergreens. A central pathway, broad sheltered front veranda and organic crushed gravel walkways allow you to experience the delights of the whole garden. A driveway off French Street, ushering to a double carport set with a duo of auto-doors and a pretty fab breeze block enclosure, for parking bikes and placing bins out of sight. 

This sleepy pocket in the coveted suburb of Hackett feels blissfully serene yet is just moments from the Dickson and Braddon precincts and the CBD. Hackett shops are not far, with a mix of relaxed eateries, cafes, and essentials. The home is also close to transport and a variety of schools and colleges including the Australian Catholic University. As you stroll around the suburb you will always be greeted by a friendly face, it is just one of those suburbs that is warm and welcoming, once here you will never want to leave.
