73A Mackenzie Street, Hackett, ACT 2602

Perfectly private and harmonising, this is a home that truly leaves nothing to be desired. A rare fusion of modern design and organic warmth, it captures sweeping views to the Brindabellas while offering a highly functional floorplan tailored to modern family living. Every element has been thoughtfully curated to create a residence that feels both elevated and grounded, with the surrounding bushland becoming a seamless extension of your own backyard.

Set back at the end of a long driveway, approaching the home will both inspire awe and make you feel right at home. Enter via the carport for covered access, or through the welcoming double doors and spacious front deck, crafted in timber to further compliment the bushland surrounds. Positioned for entertaining, the deck captures spectacular sunsets and views toward Mt Ainslie & The Brindabellas, with a sheltered alfresco area flowing effortlessly from the indoors and dining space, perfect for both the warmer months, or cooler months when the leaves drop from the canopy trees and Black Mountain Tower comes into perfect view.

Inside, the home opens to a stunning open plan kitchen, living and dining domain where exposed beams and rich jarrah flooring create warmth and architectural depth. Large windows and glass doors frame both western sunsets to the kitchen and living areas, plus eastern bushland reserve views from the dining zone. The renovated kitchen is both sophisticated and functional, featuring expansive cabinetry, elegant black stone benchtops, reflective glass splashbacks and premium Miele appliances. A servery window opens directly to the front deck, enhancing the home's entertaining appeal, while the generous layout allows for both casual family living and refined hosting.

Accommodation is thoughtfully zoned to provide both comfort and flexibility. Positioned to one wing of the home, a versatile second family or rumpus room benefits from the same mountain views and flows through to the parents retreat - offering the master bedroom, kitchenette and renovated ensuite. The current owners adore waking up to Kookaburras songs, leafy outlooks and natural breezes, or direct outdoor access for a morning coffee looking over the reserve. With its own access points to both the carport and rear garden, this space could also be utilised as multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or potential rental income options. Three well-proportioned bedrooms are positioned along the main hallway on the opposite side of the home, each complete with built-in robes and enjoying a tranquil green outlook, the previous master benefitting from a ceiling fan and its own R/C heating and cooling unit. These are serviced by a beautifully renovated family bathroom with full sized bath, frameless shower and separate toilet.

Outdoors, the home truly comes into its own with so much to discover - established native greenery framing the home, giving shade to the private lawns at the front, a perfect place for children or pets to play, with the rear of the home framed by a chain fence ensuring security yet maintaining a view to the reserve at your door with a gate opening directly onto Mount Majura. This seamless connection to nature invites daily encounters with local birdlife and wildlife, reinforcing the home's tranquil, retreat-like atmosphere while maintaining a refined, low-maintenance landscape.

The list of features and modern upgrades are endless - including 3.12kw grid connected solar panels, ducted gas heating, 3x R/C heating and cooling units, added double glazing and wall insulation in ideal areas, electric window shutters to 3 bedrooms, beautifully renovated laundry with outdoor access plus dedicated storage/workshop room. Set within a peaceful pocket of Canberra's inner north, Hackett offers a quiet, retreat-like atmosphere with minimal through traffic, ideal for families with an array of quality schools close by. Bordering expansive nature reserves, it's a suburb prized for its balance of serenity and convenience. Just moments away, the lively hubs of Dickson, Braddon and the CBD provide an exciting mix of dining, shopping and entertainment, while the neighbouring villages of Ainslie, O'Connor and Lyneham offer a more relaxed café culture and local charm.
