8 Charles Street, Balmain NSW 2041

Lifestyle - Tucked away in a serene enclave behind the Balmain Bowling Club, this absolutely gorgeous freestanding weatherboard cottage has been beautifully updated while retaining immense traditional appeal. Lovely as is, it comes with recently approved DA plans for the addition of a second storey containing a bedroom and a bathroom. Wonderfully convenient yet so secluded, with easy street parking, it's just a brief stroll to both the heart of cosmopolitan Balmain village as well as charming Balmain East cafes and the ferry wharf

Accommodation - The sun-soaked home contains three bedrooms along with a stylish contemporary bathroom with a cleverly concealed laundry and storage space. Warmed by a gas fire with ornate surrounds, the free-flowing living and dining space encompasses a smart modern gas kitchen with a twin drawer dishwasher. The living space is framed by bi-folding doors opening to a private landscaped courtyard garden complete with integrated seating/storage

Features - The original front veranda has been semi-enclosed by plantation shutters, effectively creating an additional room overlooking the Bowling Club. Details such as polished timber floorboards and timber-lined walls add plenty of classic charm. Additional features include skylights flooding the home with sun, elegant plantation shutters, zoned air conditioning, integrated bookshelves, a gas bayonet, halogen downlights, ceiling fans and built-in wardrobes
