Overview

Stylishly renovated Victorian charm with flexible living and studio

Victorian charm meets bespoke Scandinavian design in this wide-fronted Balmain semi, creating a home with a bright, creative spirit and a practical approach to family life. Reimagined by Raymond Panetta of Studio Panetta, the c1900 classic retains its ornate period details while embracing the clean lines and considered functionality of Scandinavian design with custom finishes bringing a joyful vibe. Designed for laidback entertaining and happy family life, three generous bedrooms are joined by a study or nursery, while a self-contained garden studio with a private entry offers space for extended family, an au pair or a home office. Upstairs, the main bedroom opens to a private balcony with views to the tip of the Harbour Bridge, a perfect vantage point for the fireworks. Set in a peaceful peninsula pocket, this is a home where heritage character and contemporary creativity sit comfortably together. There's a genuine sense of community in this tightly held neighbourhood, with pathway access to picturesque Ewenton Park. Balmain village is walkable from the door, and both the Balmain and Balmain East Ferries provide options for an easy commute across the harbour to the city. - Picturesque facade with a classic tessellated tile verandah - Large bedrooms with built-ins, plus a study or nursery - Original marble fireplaces, revived original Kauri floorboards - Main bed with a balcony and views to the tip of the Harbour Bridge - Living opens to a side courtyard, walnut Blackbutt floorboards - Spacious custom kitchen with ample storage, mid-century design details - Ilve gas range cooker, Miele dishwasher, Swedish hardware - Dining with banquette seating and bi-fold doors to the entertaining deck - Sunny garden, self-contained studio with dual access to rear lane - 3 bathrooms, 2 with Corian vanities, designer features - Family bathroom with a Kaldewei bath and underfloor heating - Custom-fitted laundry with heated floors, multi-zoned air - Extensive indoor and outdoor storage - 650m to the ferry wharves, stroll to harbour parks, local pubs and cafes
