16 Selwyn Street, Hackett ACT 2602
dual-dwelling rare on 913m² | EER 2 constraint | nature reserve edge | tenancy until 2027 | FTTN not FTTP
The approved secondary dwelling on a generous 913 m² block is considered the standout feature, with such a combination rarely found in Hackett’s inner-north market. Genuine versatility is offered by this configuration, whether for extended family living, independent rental income, or a home business. Immediate access to nature trails is provided by the location on the Majura fringe, while closeness to Hackett shops and Dickson precinct is also maintained. Practical appeal is added by the established gardens, generous parking, and solar infrastructure. This property is best suited to buyers seeking space, flexibility, and potential dual income from a single land holding.
The low EER of 2 and FTTN internet suggest that energy and connectivity upgrades may be needed over time, by which holding costs or appeal for certain buyers could be affected. Immediate rental income is provided by the dual tenancy arrangement but management complexity is also added. The property’s value is supported by its rare dual-dwelling approval on a large block, but the condition of the main residence may require assessment given the absence of recent renovation detail.

Insight: Hackett ACT 2602
Hackett is a well-established, professional suburb positioned in Canberra’s middle market. Demand is currently amplified by first home buyer incentives, focusing activity on the more affordable segments. Recent price trends indicate a softening market with constrained supply, as listings remain significantly below historical averages. Future growth is supported by sustained professional demand, though the market faces headwinds from broader affordability pressures and sensitivity to interest rate movements.
