27 Ambalindum Street

Hawker ACT 2614

The lower floor also houses the master bedroom with its ensuite, main bathroom and second bedroom, that can double as a study or computer room, and the home's large laundry which directly accesses the back garden.

Climbing up the timber staircase, you'll find three additional sleeping quarters - bedrooms three, four and five - all with built in robes and charming views to the rear gardens.

Bedroom six is particularly special - situated in a separate studio adjacent to the main house - it's absolutely perfect for teenagers needing their first taste of freedom or for elderly relatives who want to maintain a sense of independence while still being within easy reach. The studio also contains a generous ensuite and a workshop/hobby area that offers additional storage or the potential to be reinvented as even more floor space.

Yet another extraordinary bonus is a free-standing Californian yurt - a gorgeous customised timber dwelling towards the rear of the yard that's as mesmerising and magical as it is quirky. Its extraordinary charm is an inspired touch - a genuine retreat where the parents or guests can get some rest from everyday worries and a delightful escape to enjoy a break overnight without ever leaving the property.

The rear yard has been thoughtfully designed too - divided into specific areas for play and work. There's a beautiful stone entertaining area, complete with a built-in BBQ, that spans the width of the home plus a long, tapered grass yard on an upper tier that borders vast raised herb and vegetable gardens - large enough to supplement the family's dinner needs and inviting enough to make gardener's thumbs green with envy. There's also a shed, a separate lower garden with succulents and provision for parking a trailer.

Factor in the access to local schools or the convenience of Hawker's wonderful shopping centre and beautiful parklands.....you'll agree this is a home that's got it all - position, lifestyle and charm.
