The five-bedroom family home has a “cracking location” that <a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/ray-white/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Ray White Canberra</a> licensed agent <a href="/agents/samuel-fitzsimmons/">Samuel Fitzsimmons</a> says is well worth a look.<img alt="12-verco-street-hackett-act-2602-86866-image-0-20230920231645872598-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="600" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/12-verco-street-hackett-act-2602-86866-image-0.width-800.jpg" width="800">“I think people actually overlook Hackett as a suburb, but it’s close to Mount Majura and Mount Ainslie and their walking tracks,” Samuel says.“The walking track behind the property is about 100m up, so it’s still private, but that track takes you all the way up to the War Memorial.“You’re in the city, but you’ve got the country benefits because of the outlook from the house. You wouldn’t even know you’re in the middle of Canberra.”<img alt="12-verco-street-hackett-act-2602-86866-image-0-20230920231646745251-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/12-verco-street-hackett-act-2602-86866-image-0.width-800_vz0rS2T.jpg" width="800">The more than 1200sqm block has been completely remodelled to make the most of its prime position, with the Brindabellas to the front and Mount Majura to the rear.An open-plan kitchen, living and dining area is the hub of the home, with Tasmanian Oak flooring and lots of light courtesy of its northerly aspect and floor-to-ceiling cedar windows.Home chefs are in the centre of the action thanks to an imposing stone-top island bench and breakfast bar directly overlooking the sprawling outdoor entertaining area.<img alt="12-verco-street-hackett-act-2602-86866-image-0-20230920231647338185-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/12-verco-street-hackett-act-2602-86866-image-0.width-800_0ayNgmZ.jpg" width="800">Cook up a storm with stainless steel Miele appliances, double ovens and a built-in fridge, and easily escape the heat of the kitchen in the breezy, adjacent north-west facing terrace.Then step outside into your own private resort. The stunning outdoor area features an in-ground pool and eight-seat spa (solar-heated for year-round enjoyment).And the paved undercover patio is right next to the mature landscaped gardens, with sophisticated rainwater harvesting, storage and an automated watering system.<img alt="12-verco-street-hackett-act-2602-86866-image-0-20230920231648284302-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/12-verco-street-hackett-act-2602-86866-image-0.width-800_Fr8IDHI.jpg" width="800">“The owners have told us that it is a very good entertaining and party house,” Samuel says. “They’ve hosted their kids’ graduations and other celebrations and it’s worked really well.“It has a usable, well-thought-out floorplan too. There’s a bathroom that takes you straight out to the pool so you’re not tracking water through the house.”Next to the poolside bathroom is a rumpus room, the second of three communal living spaces, the last of which adjoins bedroom five at the front of the home.<img alt="12-verco-street-hackett-act-2602-86866-image-0-20230920231649725945-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/12-verco-street-hackett-act-2602-86866-image-0.width-800_fnsQMYz.jpg" width="800">“This home would suit someone with young kids, a family with teenagers or a multi-generational family because it has those multiple spaces,” Samuel says.“There’s three or four different ways you could use the home and the floorplan flows really well in that everything is segregated and usable at the same time.”The master bedroom is separated from the other bedrooms and positioned poolside downstairs. It features an ensuite, walk-in-robe and in-floor heating.<img alt="12-verco-street-hackett-act-2602-86866-image-0-20230920231651922577-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/12-verco-street-hackett-act-2602-86866-image-0.width-800_GxCfrXs.jpg" width="800">Three of the four remaining bedrooms are upstairs. These bedrooms all feature built-in robes, access to balconies, and a bathroom and study space.The home also features a 20kW PV system and 10kWh battery, a wine cellar and a large double garage with 25sqm storage attic.“It’s the kind of home that you would buy, as the sellers have, and stay there 20 years-plus,” Samuel says.The home at 12 Verco Street, Hackett, goes to auction at 11.30am on Saturday 14 October 2023.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/12-verco-street-hackett-act-2602-86866/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/completely-remodelled-home-with-inner-north-convenience-backing-onto-scenic-nature-reserve/703273" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Riotact</a>.
