There is a friendly spirit to the front garden with its collection of flowering camellias, tinkling silver birches and gorgeous flowering plum tree. The classic blonde brick form dotted with iron casement windows, painted crisp white. A private driveway ushers to both single garage and two car tandem carport. While a sheltered porch with beautiful wrought iron balustrades connects to the timber front door, with sidelight in vintage dimpled glass.
This 60s charmer has been masterfully extended and updated, creating an expansive four bedroom home, that is at once generous and flexible. Lovingly tended by the one family for over fifty years, the home's immaculate interiors and established pretty gardens are quite the heart stealer. Despite the dappled peace of the garden and the country vibes of the nearby reserve, the home is just a stone's throw from the vibrant village centres that make the inner north famous and highly coveted.
Within there are all the details you would expect from a house of this era – high ceilings, delicate light fittings and decorative cornices. Thoughtful updates such as new carpet, fresh paint and ducted heating and cooling, contemporise the home, enhancing the lived experience. Pocket sliders set with patterned glass open onto a light filled and generous living combined dining area. The original brick hearth, set with gas heater, making for a lovely focal point and place to gather. Extended to the north, the room spills to a warming sunroom, with walls of glass, panoramic leafy views and direct access to the garden.
The kitchen combined meals area is handily adjacent to the dining space so entertaining and family meals are easy. Banks of classic timber cabinetry gift a place for everything and a large window set above the sink welcomes light. The kitchen opens onto private rear gardens where you can enjoy alfresco living on the sheltered timber deck.
A masterful extension has created a parental suite that is both expansive and bright. A large bay window complete with window storage seat, frames the leafy garden, while higher set windows look out towards the reserve. This is a dream room, large enough for poetic licence, think bedroom combined living, library, quiet creative retreat. There is a walk-in-robe and an elegant ensuite bathroom with a vanity basin and large in built storage cabinet
Two additional bedrooms (one with built-in-robes) centre around the original family bathroom and separate toilet. Both bathroom and toilet are finished in vintage mosaic floor tiling in hues of soft pink and grey. We love the pink bathtub and shell shaped soap holders – all beautifully preserved and set against deep grey tiling. A third room with built-in-cupboards, provides access to the master suite beyond and would make an ideal nursery or home office.
You can see Mt Majura from the back garden and there is gated access to pathways that circumnavigate the house, and surrounding gardens, so you can explore and enjoy the entirety of the large corner block. Dedicated vegetable beds are perfectly placed close to the kitchen, so you can nurture and enjoy fresh produce. Large garden shed with two glass louvered windows provide excellent storage and a "neat as a pin" laundry opens into the garage which has a timber loft.
The home edges Mackenzie Street and is just a few steps from Tryon Street Playground, Mt Majura Reserve and adjoining Majura Pines recreation area, where there are dedicated trails for mountain bike riding, horse riding, orienteering, walking and running on two-way loop trails. It is a stone's throw from the dynamic shopping and eating precincts of Dickson and Braddon. Hackett shops are close to hand for a mix of relaxed eateries, cafes, and essentials. Think great community vibes and coffee from Wilbur's Café or trivia nights and excellent pizza from 3rd Space. The home is also handy to the charming inner-north centres of Ainslie, O'Connor, Lyneham and Watson extending a vibrant mix of independent cafés, shops and restaurants. The home is close to transport and a variety of schools and colleges and it is a mere 7 minutes to the ANU and CBD.
