16 Steele Street

Hackett ACT 2602

As you step along the garden path, past pretty flowering beds, Japanese maples, the home lifts your spirit. There is a gentle air, the sun dappling the front porch, softly illuminating the stained glass that frames the front door.

The front living room is awash with light as corner windows capture the atmospheric colours and textures of the garden. Both airy and cosy all at once, it is perfect for gathering around the gas fireplace on cooler nights with family and friends, drifting to a private front patio in the summer, dining alfresco, enjoying a glass or two as the sun sets.

The open kitchen, meals area is a natural hub for family life, social activities and entertaining. Playful pops of aqua green marry with banks of neutral cabinetry, organic stone countertops. Beautifully illuminated glass cabinets are a lovely spot to showcase family heirlooms, keepsakes.

The second living area has a nice harmony with the kitchen via a large servery window, making it easy to chat while you are cooking. There is enough room here to accommodate a table set for plenty, alongside a comfy assemblage of lounges. Glass doors welcome northern light and allow the family to step outside and enjoy the beautiful garden setting.

The master bedroom is a private haven, capturing sunlight and flowing to the landscape. Think stepping barefoot, nursing a cuppa beneath the flowering crepe myrtle. A walk-in-robe takes care of seamless storage and there is a modern ensuite bathroom.

Three further bedrooms occupy a private wing in the front of the home, all with built-in-robes, new carpet and all capturing flowering camellias via large picture windows. A family bathroom sits adjacent with relaxing tub and whimsical stained glass cabinet and window.

The private back garden is a place of relaxation and contemplation as soft lawns are edged with beautiful plantings and raised garden beds can be filled with some lovely veggies or herbs. Fully bankable glass doors can be flung open within the ensuite studio, making for an ideal teen-retreat, guest room or entertaining space. One corner of the yard houses a six-person therapeutic spa that is covered by a shady pergola ? this would certainly be a place of enjoyment with a glass of choice.

Steele is a quiet street, home to tiny picnic tables, cubby houses? set beneath shady trees within lush garden frontages. Whisper quiet and lined with magnificent liquid ambers; this friendly neighbourhood feels peacefully idyllic, belying its easy proximity to the dynamic Dickson and Braddon precincts.

Hackett is a private enclave with no through roads, protecting it from the hustle and bustle of the surrounding city. Known for its leafy streets, community values and direct access to green spaces and bush reserve it is tightly held, coveted. Close to the dynamic precincts of Dickson, Braddon, it is also amenable to the charming inner-north centres of Ainslie, O'Connor and Lyneham, extending a vibrant mix of independent caf?s and shops. Handy to transport and a variety of schools, the home is enviably positioned, within a short drive from the ANU and CBD.
