Few homes capture the spirit of Balmain quite like the double-fronted 1880s weatherboard cottage that exudes classic charm with its picture-perfect facade and timeless good looks. Architecturally redesigned for contemporary living, the two-storey home sits proudly on the high side of a tightly held street just footsteps to Darling Street's dining and social scene. A wonderful sense of light, symmetry and space creates a welcoming feel with an open sightline from front to back and a natural flow to a lush landscaped garden conceived as an outdoor green room. Designed for flexibility, the four-bedroom home features an upper level parents' retreat and a custom-fitted study while ducted air ensures year-round comfort. This is a home that balances history with amenity in an unbeatable lifestyle setting with Mort Bay Park and the city ferry at one end of the street and Balmain's shopping village at the other with a choice of great schools within easy reach.
