48 Short Street, Birchgrove NSW 2041

The just-completed reinvention of one of the peninsula's iconic weatherboard home has created a truly remarkable retreat showcasing a level of detail and craftsmanship that sets the home in a class of its own. Rebuilt from the ground up, the redesign pays homage to the past while exceeding sustainable practice norms to deliver a home that is both beautiful and functional and designed to tread lightly on the planet. Reclaimed Tallowwood, Khaki Jam terrazzo and Taj Mahal quartzite are the heroes of the interiors while windows on the north side bathe the social areas in sunshine and bedrooms are conceived as private sanctuaries. Entertain alfresco in the landscaped courtyard, wander up to Balmain village or stroll down to Mort Bay Park and the city ferry.
