A sandstone-framed parterre garden and beautiful 18th-century doorway create a welcoming first impression in this beautiful French-villa inspired family home. Built on the site of a 19th-century fisherman’s cottage, 109 Mort Street, Balmain overlooks the lush expanse of historic Mort Bay Park with northerly views out over the harbour creating a captivating ambiance by night. The sandstone blocks and retaining wall were salvaged from the original cottage and now serve as a nod to the home’s heritage while anchoring the property firmly in the present.
Classical contemporary interiors radiate timeless elegance with a beautiful antique French door and entry portico providing a gracious entry to the home. A seamless flow from sun-drenched interiors to a north facing garden with views across to the iconic Harbour Bridge creates a perfect environment for family living and entertaining with a custom island kitchen and dining area opening outdoors through a series of French doors. The interplay between indoor and outdoor living spaces underlines a feeling of openness and sanctuary reminiscent of a private retreat on the French Riviera with a pair of mulberry trees framing the gardens and bearing delicious purple berries during spring.
