Classic at the front and ultra contemporary at the rear, this high-set Victorian terrace is one of a pair built c1890 and standing proud in a top village spot with Balmain village at one end of the street and Mort Bay Park and the ferry at the other. A fluid layout from front to back makes for easy living with three double bedrooms on the upper level with views to the city skyline and Harbour Bridge from a classic iron lace balcony that are magic at night. Opening out to a sunny walled courtyard with a travertine-paved entertainer's terrace, the bright and airy rear is anchored by a custom island kitchen with a robust palette of timber, polished concrete and exposed brickwork adding warmth and texture. Wander down to waterfront parkland or up to the buzz of Darling Street with cafes, pubs and independent boutiques all around offering a relaxed village lifestyle an easy ferry ride into the city.
