Smooth Sailing
Experience an unparalleled waterfront lifestyle and live the dream in this award-winning absolute waterfront estate with the best boating facilities on the peninsula at your disposal and uninterrupted 180-degree views as a dynamic backdrop to daily life. Holding one of the most private spots on the peninsula, opposite Birchgrove Oval, 16 Louisa Road, Birchgrove is set on an absolute waterfront 657.6 sqm approx with a 20m frontage to the harbour and views over Cockatoo Island that will never be built out. A true boat lover’s paradise, this is no ordinary Birchgrove property but a waterfront playground with a deepwater mooring with a rare 50ft pen, architecturally designed boathouse, private jetty, slipway and mooring poles.
An Absolute Waterfront Paradise
Custom built to celebrate the beauty of its setting, the contemporary masterpiece is immersed in awe-inspiring 180-degree views with a 20m frontage to the unobstructed harbour vista. Hidden from view and remarkably private, the award-winning home is anchored to its site and crafted to embrace the theatre of its ever-changing vista. A robust design inspired by the elements of earth, water and air lets nature do the talking while a highly adaptable layout features a two-storey primary dwelling, home office suite/au pair accommodation and level lift access to a self-contained boathouse.
Unobstructed Northerly Views And Magic Sunsets
Streamlined interiors are wrapped in walls of glass that frame vista and animate the interiors while a north-west aspect brings in the sunshine and creates a spectacular vista at sunset. A flexible design features three private bedrooms, the primary that can open to the vista and appointed with a dressing room and skylit ensuite.
Two levels of living space open outdoors, the main level featuring a fluid sequence of living spaces, custom banquette and joinery, sleek Escea gas fireplace and high-spec Miele-appointed kitchen with textural oxide benchtops, integrated Liebherr fridge/freezer and breakfast bar. Fusing beauty with functionality, the home’s smart home affords optimal comfort all year round with ducted air, underfloor heating, automated blinds, Sonos sound and Cat 6 cabling.
A Waterfront Playground With Self-Contained Boathouse
Entertaining’s a dream with the lower living space featuring a wet bar spilling out to a 19m wide terrace with custom outdoor furniture and automated weather-sensitive awnings. Jump in the lift down to the landscaped gardens with sunny level lawns leading to the water’s edge. This is where the property really comes into its own with a gorgeous self-contained boathouse, private jetty, slipway and deepwater mooring with 50ft pen. Fish off the deck, set sail for an adventure, kick back and relax or enjoy sunset by the firepit.
Direct Harbour Access And Birchgrove Oval At The Doorstep
In an idyllic setting, opposite Birchgrove Oval and tennis courts, this remarkable waterfront property offers an incredible sense of privacy yet is reassuringly close to the buzz of village life and a relaxed trip into the city launching from your private jetty or from the ferry wharf at the end of the street. Walk down to Balmain Sailing Club and the heritage-listed Dawn Fraser Baths or up to Darling Street village where you’ll find everything from alfresco cafes and artisan stores to bookstores and bistros.
