Tucked away in one of Birchgrove's most coveted waterfront pockets, just up from Balmain Sailing Club, the aptly named 'Riverview' stands as a gracious reminder of the past that has been creatively reimagined for the future. A Sydney icon, the fisherman's cottage was originally built c1880 and has undergone an inspirational redesign that skilfully weaves the past with a contemporary narrative that injects a sense of joy and vitality into the home. Crafted to celebrate its vista, the two-storey home is set on a sun-blessed corner block with sweeping northerly views over Cockatoo Island as a captivating ever-changing backdrop. Key to the success of the design is the connection with a lush landscaped garden, a mineral pool with a waterfall feature as its sparkling centrepiece and a self-contained two-bedroom studio ideal as a guest/au pair accommodation or home office/creative space that can be converted into garaging. Walk along the foreshore in one direction to Birchgrove Wharf or Elkington Park and Dawn Fraser baths in the other.
