Perfect for a family seeking multi-generational living, with plenty of outdoor space and a blend of privacy and endless entertaining options, 27 Jukes Street in Hackett is a five-bedroom, three-bathroom home spread across two storeys on a 1100 sqm block.
This has been used to great effect, and none of it is wasted. The front of the home is dedicated to a large formal lounge room with a fireplace and built-in shelves, connecting to a large dining/living area.
Central to the home is the kitchen, which is a story in itself.
“The kitchen is built for entertainers, and given the size, the massive island bench and the walk-in pantry, you could really cook for a crowd here. As a bonus, you can actually look out over the Mount Majura Reserve from the kitchen,” LJ Hooker Kippax agent Eoin Ryan-Hicks says.
“It’s the kind of thing that makes you want to do the dishes!”
This large, open living/kitchen area connects seamlessly to the outdoor area through bi-fold glass doors, making the sparkling pool a centrepiece.
The outdoor space is ideal for smaller, more intimate meetings, family meals or large gatherings. With a massive, oversized deck, an alfresco area with an outdoor kitchen, a pool and a spa, it’s hard to imagine what is missing.
“Some of our best memories have been hosting big family Christmases and spontaneous get-togethers, with the open living areas flowing effortlessly onto the deck,” the owner of the property says.
And while the outdoor area is a significant portion of the property, the garden has been designed to be as low-maintenance as possible, meaning residents can spend more time enjoying it and less time tending to it.
“The amount of space in the outdoor area is hard to overstate; it extends the home’s living potential enormously,” Eoin says.
The double garage also includes a workshop area and the rumpus room features a wine cellar.
On the ground floor, a separate bedroom, connected to the garage and the large rumpus room, expands the potential for multi-generational living.
“The downstairs gives an older teenager or a grandparent their own space. The rumpus also acts as a kind of breakout room, giving some members of the family their own room to hang out if they want to get away from a big gathering upstairs,” Eoin says.
“For added utility, the rumpus even features a wet bar which could be converted to a kitchenette.”
Backing onto Mount Majura Reserve, 27 Jukes Street in Hackett has near instant access to some of Canberra’s most beautiful natural spaces.
“For a family looking for a quiet, private home, where you can literally step out the door into a nature reserve, this is it. The home is also on a cul-de-sac, meaning you have virtually no traffic on this street,” Eoin says.
“I’d call this the best street in Hackett. The access to walking trails, bike tracks, the Hackett shops and plenty of nearby schools makes it a great place to raise a family.”
Yet even with this access to natural spaces and trails, the home is just a 15-minute drive to Civic.
With extensive outdoor living, a flexible living arrangement and instant access to the best amenities of the Inner South, 27 Jukes Street just does everything right.
