The picture-perfect facade of this wide-fronted contemporary cottage gives it plenty of street appeal but it's the uplifting sense of space and landscaped tropical garden that deliver the wow factor. On the edge of Balmain village, the three-bedroom home is lovely and light with an east/west aspect that brings in the breeze and lofty vaulted ceilings adding volume to the upper level. Designed with a focus on effortless indoor/outdoor living, the social heart of the home flows out to a large entertainer's deck and stone-paved terrace framed by lush greenery conceived as an outdoor room. Just 250m up to Woolworths and Darling Street's cafe and social scene, this is a perfect spot for families with an easy 400m walk across Gladstone Park to Balmain Public School.
