“That’s the biggest thing that sets his townhouse apart from other quality townhouses in the inner north,” says <a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/lj-hooker-dickson/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">LJ Hooker Dickson</a> real estate agent <a href="/agents/ryan-9/">Ryan Hedley</a>.“You’ve got such a spacious yard area and the owner has done a fantastic job creating those two separate outdoor living areas with custom-made decks.”The decks on separate sides of the wrap-around yard connect seamlessly with the hub of the townhouse: an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area that commands the home’s ground level.<img alt="3-36-blacket-street-downer-act-2602-80378-image-0-20230523020148542574-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/3-36-blacket-street-downer-act-2602-80378-imag.width-800.jpg" width="800">For the cooking that requires more than the kitchenette’s BBQ, the modern indoor kitchen with integrated AEG appliances has a large island benchtop facing the entertaining deck at the rear of the home for uninterrupted conversation. Ryan says this natural flow of indoor-outdoor living and entertaining is ideal for young professional couples who enjoy hosting friends and family.“People looking to start their journey with a young family will also find enough yard space for a trampoline and kids to play,&quot; he says.<img alt="3-36-blacket-street-downer-act-2602-80378-image-0-20230523020146845528-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/3-36-blacket-street-downer-act-2602-80378-imag.width-800_DsD8ZsS.jpg" width="800">The living and dining area features high-set ceilings and quality timber flooring, capturing lots of natural daylight, and has a powder room tucked away to the side. For the cooler single-digit temperature evenings, a ducted reverse heating and cooling system will keep guests warm downstairs as well as upstairs, where the home’s two bedrooms and master suite are located.“This is a great idea that reduces the home’s footprint but also allows for a larger living and dining area downstairs and larger bedrooms,” Ryan says.<img alt="3-36-blacket-street-downer-act-2602-80378-image-0-20230523020151772325-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/3-36-blacket-street-downer-act-2602-80378-imag.width-800_Sq5mlOS.jpg" width="800">The master suite features a walk-in robe and ensuite and is privately separated from the two other bedrooms (both with built-in robes) by the main bathroom and a second powder room.But the smart interior design doesn’t end there, with buyers noticing how cleverly the storage options have been placed throughout the townhouse, including a concealed European laundry downstairs.“They’ve done a really good job of incorporating as much storage as possible in very smart ways to accommodate townhouse living,” Ryan says.<img alt="3-36-blacket-street-downer-act-2602-80378-image-0-20230523020154387235-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/3-36-blacket-street-downer-act-2602-80378-imag.width-800_IPeTJMk.jpg" width="800">Prospective buyers won’t be sacrificing car space either, with the home featuring an automatic garage with internal access and an undercover space for a second vehicle.Located in a boutique complex of six townhouses, the Downer home is within walking distance of a light rail stop and Dickson’s dining and shopping precinct.<img alt="3-36-blacket-street-downer-act-2602-80378-image-0-20230523020150556121-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/3-36-blacket-street-downer-act-2602-80378-imag.width-800_ArtTfh6.jpg" width="800">“The house market is so hard to break into in the inner north, and this townhouse allows you to not compromise on quality or location,” Ryan says.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/3-36-blacket-street-downer-act-2602-80378/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">3/36 Blacket Street, Downer</a>, will be auctioned at 11.30am on Saturday 17 June 2023.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/3-36-blacket-street-downer-act-2602-80378/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/luxury-inner-north-townhouse-with-a-backyard-made-for-entertaining/667186" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The RiotACT.</a>

<a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/lj-hooker-dickson/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">LJ Hooker Dickson</a> agent <a href="/agents/ryan-hedley/">Ryan Hedley</a> says the secluded home doesn’t fail to impress with enormous living spaces, endless opportunities and features made for hosting.“This corner block home is well landscaped and manicured,&quot; Ryan says.&quot;The hedging that surrounds it just complements the grand design of the house as well.“The moment you enter the house, you&#x27;re torn between two living areas: you have a smaller family room to your right that’s overlooked by the kitchen and the dining area, which also has a lovely private outdoor courtyard.&quot;And then you’ve got another large living area on your left-hand side that’s quite spacious with beautiful views out to the greenery that surrounds the house.&quot;<img alt="45-marsden-street-dickson-act-2602-69357-image-0-20221104040256646391-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/45-marsden-street-dickson-act-2602-69357-image.width-800_AMiPv0S.jpg" width="800">According to Ryan, the home&#x27;s colour palette and design features are unique, with &quot;a nice contrast of green cabinetry and red stone benchtops&quot; and the white carpet that makes the home feel clean and sharp.“And the sun beams right into the property,” Ryan says.“It’s inviting to the owner as they can relax in the warmth, curl up with a good book in the sun, or have friends over.“There’s also ample storage throughout the home, underfloor heating and a split cooling and heating system.”<img alt="45-marsden-street-dickson-act-2602-69357-image-0-20221104040258632323-crop-c0-5__0-5-1600x750-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="375" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/45-marsden-street-dickson-act-2602-69357-image.width-800_GjHhAoQ.jpg" width="800">Ryan says the large kitchen features a beautiful stone benchtop and gas cooking.“It&#x27;s well lit with natural light and features a gorgeous contrast of colour. The benchtop is very functional and open and leads into a huge walk-in pantry.”The bedrooms are large and well-appointed – especially the main bedroom.<img alt="45-marsden-street-dickson-act-2602-69357-image-0-20221104040257409698-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/45-marsden-street-dickson-act-2602-69357-image.width-800_HkjZGGh.jpg" width="800">“The enormous main bedroom, on the top floor, is complemented by a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite with spa bath,” Ryan says.“There’s also a landing at the top of the stairs, which provides the perfect sitting area for the kids.“Traditionally, this is a four-bedroom home, but one of the bedrooms has been converted into a home office.”The remainder of the bedrooms are located on the lower level of the home.<img alt="45-marsden-street-dickson-act-2602-69357-image-0-20221104040258048250-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/45-marsden-street-dickson-act-2602-69357-image.width-800_rOtRTmG.jpg" width="800">Ryan says the upstairs bathroom, which serves as the ensuite, has &quot;a 2000s retro style&quot; and features a huge spa bath. The second bathroom downstairs has a bathtub.“It’s perfect if you have younger kids or multigenerational families living here as the bathrooms and bedrooms are divided and the spaces can be shared.”Outside, entertainers are spoilt for choice, especially with courtyards.<img alt="45-marsden-street-dickson-act-2602-69357-image-0-20221102044712296103-crop-c0-5__0-5-1600x750-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="375" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/45-marsden-street-dickson-act-2602-69357-image.width-800.jpg" width="800">“You’ve got a vast entertaining courtyard to the front of the home, and then you’ve got a private courtyard off the dining and kitchen area – ideal for reading a book or having a coffee outside,” Ryan says.“Moving on from the entertainer’s courtyard, you’ve got grass and a bit of a veggie garden around the corner as well.“While it&#x27;s easy care and low maintenance, there’s definitely enough greenery around as well.”Additionally, the home has solar electricity, solar hot water, a double remote garage with a workspace and rear shed, an automatic irrigation system front yard and side parking for a caravan or boat.<img alt="45-marsden-street-dickson-act-2602-69357-image-0-20221104040301293859-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/45-marsden-street-dickson-act-2602-69357-image.width-800_o7vpuKe.jpg" width="800">The final feature? The location.“It’s set in one of the best locations in Canberra,” Ryan says.“Marsden Street is one of the most beautiful streets – it’s walking distance to Dickson shops, it’s close to the city and you’re obviously in sort of a Goldilocks zone for school catchment areas, in terms of being so close to Lyneham High School and North Ainslie Primary School.<img alt="45-marsden-street-dickson-act-2602-69357-image-0-20221104040258295431-crop-c0-5__0-5-1600x750-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="375" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/45-marsden-street-dickson-act-2602-69357-image.width-800_07wQ5AB.jpg" width="800">“Although the location is attractive, I think the way this house stands out in the street with its gorgeous treeline canopy and gorgeous landscaped gardens gives it its wow factor.”The ‘Garden on the Corner’ goes to auction at 11.30am on Saturday 26 November 2022.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/45-marsden-street-dickson-act-2602-69357/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/immerse-yourself-in-this-luscious-green-dickson-dream-home/609270" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The RiotACT.</a>

Unspoiled views across the capital and luscious gardens that make you feel like you&#x27;re in &quot;another world&quot; were just two of the main reasons the current owners purchased the property in 1999.Architects Ring and Associates were appointed to design new features and extensions for the home, which were perfected over five years. The extension to the home was designed to create a seamless flow through each area.<img alt="155-wattle-street-oconnor-act-2602-66925-image-0-20221005014702810727-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/155-wattle-street-oconnor-act-2602-66925-image.width-800_PjsNepP.jpg" width="800"><a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/lj-hooker-dickson/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">LJ Hooker Dickson</a> real estate agent <a href="/agents/ryan-hedley/">Ryan Hedley</a> describes the home as &quot;something special&quot;.“It’s rare you get a home like this up for offer - it’s a one-of-a-kind,” Ryan says.“This home has great attention to detail and fantastic personal touches throughout – not to mention the panoramic views of Canberra that would be hard to replicate anywhere else.”<img alt="155-wattle-street-oconnor-act-2602-66925-image-0-20221005014708082176-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/155-wattle-street-oconnor-act-2602-66925-image.width-800_HQakOgL.jpg" width="800">The home makes the most of the sun’s movements celebrating natural light from all aspects and featuring Australian timber throughout.At a vast 392sqm, the property features multiple living areas for the whole family to enjoy.

Step inside a beautiful property that&#x27;s been a cherished family home for 27 years.Located in the established suburb of Evatt, <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/36-fitzhardinge-crescent-evatt-act-2617-57817/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">36 Fitzhardinge Crescent</a> will take your breath away with its lush, vibrant garden and spectacular views of the Brindabellas.<a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/lj-hooker-dickson/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">LJ Hooker Dickson</a> real estate agent <a href="https://zango.com.au/agents/ryan-hedley/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Ryan Hedley</a> said the property is best described as “a family home that exudes character”.<img alt="36-fitzhardinge-crescent-evatt-act-2617-57817-image-0-20220516000215878988-thumbnail-1920x1920-70.jpeg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/36-fitzhardinge-crescent-evatt-act-2617-57817-.width-800.jpg" width="800">“This property is unique because the owners have made this home their dream home, something they never wanted to leave,” he says.“It takes your breath away straight away. There’s a rainforest type of feel as soon as you enter with so much greenery and lushness around the home.”According to Ryan, the property is so much more than a four-bedroom, three-bathroom home.“When you’ve been in a home for as long as these people have, you’ve got that warmth and comfort of a family home.”<img alt="36-fitzhardinge-crescent-evatt-act-2617-57817-image-0-20220516000216990874-thumbnail-1920x1920-70.jpeg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/36-fitzhardinge-crescent-evatt-act-2617-57817-.width-800_qCnaSxv.jpg" width="800">The home is designed with versatility in mind, featuring a combination of modern and classic interiors, with an iconic spiral staircase, bedrooms located on one half of the house, and a large living room on the other.“As soon as you walk in, you have a nice, large, open living and family area, and around the corner, there’s a lovely dining area with a balcony where you can take in those sensational views, and it’s perfect for outdoor dining or entertaining,&quot; Ryan says.“The modern designed kitchen also takes advantage of those views.”<img alt="36-fitzhardinge-crescent-evatt-act-2617-57817-image-0-20220516000214557227-thumbnail-1920x1920-70.jpeg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/36-fitzhardinge-crescent-evatt-act-2617-57817-.width-800_FNdLr84.jpg" width="800">There are four spacious bedrooms in the living quarters, featuring wooden flooring and room for all bed sizes and furniture.The bathrooms are beautifully renovated to include a large shower, a low bathtub (perfect for kids) and plenty of storage.“I think the most important update the owners did throughout the home was double glazing to make it as energy-efficient as possible,&quot; Ryan says.“It’s not often that you see homes of this age or in established suburbs like this that have had all of that work done already. It’s usually left for a new buyer to do it all and it often gets neglected.”<img alt="36-fitzhardinge-crescent-evatt-act-2617-57817-image-0-20220516000221325256-thumbnail-1920x1920-70.jpeg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/36-fitzhardinge-crescent-evatt-act-2617-57817-.width-800_w7SxQSH.jpg" width="800">Downstairs is the perfect set-up for a kid’s playroom, creative space or a second living space.“I think its versatility is probably the most important feature because it can be used for whatever anyone wants,” Ryan says.The area currently has a pool room, study and fireplace, making it perfect for those cold Canberra nights to snuggle up and watch a movie or relax and unwind with the family.As you walk outside, the lush greenery in the backyard leads to a privately tucked-away outdoor spa.<img alt="36-fitzhardinge-crescent-evatt-act-2617-57817-image-0-20220516000222427306-thumbnail-1920x1920-70.jpeg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/36-fitzhardinge-crescent-evatt-act-2617-57817-.width-800_zNN6jCE.jpg" width="800">“It’s almost like a layered outdoor area, you’ve got the rear covered area that’s surrounded by established greenery so it makes you feel like you&#x27;re walking through nature, and you’ve got that large spa that&#x27;s perfect on a cold winter’s day,&quot; Ryan says.The exterior features lime trees, a big veggie patch and a courtyard, made for outdoor entertaining among the overhanging Japanese maples and fragrant daphnes.The Evatt home comes with a double lock-up garage, reverse-cycle air conditioning, solar panels and ducted gas heating.<img alt="36-fitzhardinge-crescent-evatt-act-2617-57817-image-0-20220516000219750674-thumbnail-1920x1920-70.jpeg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/36-fitzhardinge-crescent-evatt-act-2617-57817-.width-800_nMaWSk9.jpg" width="800">Ryan says it&#x27;s the little things that stand out most in the home, like the two working wood fireplaces and how you can entertain friends and family and have enough space for extended family and guests.To top it off, there’s the location – only minutes from shopping centres and schools.“You’re a very short drive from the Belconnen Town Centre, so there’s just so much convenience at your fingertips and plenty of fantastic Uber Eats options!”<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/36-fitzhardinge-crescent-evatt-act-2617-57817/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>To arrange an inspection, contact Ryan Hedley on 0458 440 375 or Stephanie Lang on 0415 522 087.Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/a-classic-family-home-that-exudes-character-with-endless-potential-and-possibilities/557245" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The RiotAct</a>.
