25 Ballast Point Road, Birchgrove NSW 2041

Lifestyle - A fine example of Balmain's celebrated period architecture, this grand residence (c1888) has been superbly restored and refurbished beyond its picturesque Victorian era facade. Cascading over multiple levels, it has been sympathetically extended for impressive entertaining and relaxed family living with glorious northerly views over Snails Bay, Balls Head Reserve and the Harbour Bridge. In a historic harbourside enclave, the property is a stroll to the ferry and metres to the spectacular foreshore scenery of Ballast Point Park

Accommodation - A choice of living areas includes an elegant, traditionally styled lounge with a fireplace and double doors to the courtyard. For casual meals and indoor/outdoor entertaining, the flowing open plan kitchen and dining room is enclosed by bi-folds that spill out to a courtyard overlooking the gardens, level lawns and water feature. Upstairs, a sun-drenched sitting room opens to a gorgeous deck with harbour views. The loft bedroom is luxuriously secluded, featuring an adjoining office and a spectacular balcony

Features - The modern gourmet kitchen is superbly equipped with granite benchtops, a stainless steel gas cooktop and an integrated Miele dishwasher. Soaring ceilings feature throughout, along with the original timber floorboards and cedar staircase, bay windows and a beautiful lace iron embellished front verandah. Modern additions include plantation shutters, air conditioning and rainwater tanks. Surrounded by harbourfront parkland, the property is within walking distance to all the shopping and gourmet delights of Darling Street
