Overview

An historic harbourside treasure of style, soul and substance

A distinguished peninsula residence reimagined to last another century, this grand freestanding c1858 home stands as a gracious reminder of the area's rich maritime history. Built for a tall ship's engineer and featured in Balmain to Glebe: A Pictorial History, the double-fronted sandstock brick beauty has been fully and thoughtfully renovated to honour the past while delivering the comfort and flexibility for contemporary family life. With a sunny north-east aspect and 10m wide frontage, the two-storey layout unfolds with a series of inviting living spaces in the original house, which are complimented with a beautifully crafted extension crowned by soaring cathedral ceilings, stained glass window, detailed finials and architectural turret. Elegant French doors open to embrace a private landscaped courtyard where a vine-framed terrace and entertainer's deck shaded by a magnificent Port Wine Magnolia create a romantic garden sanctuary. A custom kitchen anchors the social heart, while upstairs captures views over the CBD skyline and glimpses of the Harbour Bridge, and a serene master opens to a north-facing balcony framed by two fragrant frangipanis.
