Fabulous block of 925m2 approx.
This four-bedder sits behind a beautiful age-old oak tree, at the apex of a gently sloping cul-de-sac, in lovely Hackett presenting a fabulous opportunity for the creative buyer. Think loving renovation or potential new build, taking advantage of the north-eastern orientation and the rare qualities of natural elevation.
Harris Place is idyllic – a short dead-ender, dotted with old and new builds, moments from Harris Street playground and the lovely walking trails of Mt Majura Reserve. This is a great community with excellent schools, all within an easy drive from the vibrant offerings of Dickson, Braddon and the CBD.
The original cottage rests behind a deep frontage and is accessed via stairs that invite to a small, elevated front porch. From here you step into a generous front living area, with the original brick hearth still in place. There is a nice flow to a sunny dining room that opens onward to the north-east facing kitchen. Large windows welcome the sunshine, the kitchen set with vintage cabinetry. Four good-sized bedrooms branch off a central hallway and centre around a family bathroom with a renovated shower space. Bedrooms one and two enjoy morning sun, while bedrooms three and four look out across the front garden.
There is access to the fenced back yard via the laundry. High timber fences edge green grass, the entire block relatively flat and free of big trees. Think, a striking new addition to the streetscape, opening to the north and east, embracing alfresco living with room for a swimming pool. Or sensitive updates, a combo of old and new, ushering the old bones into the here and now, with clever sustainable and stylistic upgrades. Either way, the position is superb and sets the stage for the creation of a timeless, forever home fit for a modern family.
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 and loved by the locals.
