One of Birchgrove's finest, this freestanding Victorian Italianate residence has undergone a radical reinvention that breaks free from the norm and brings a bold new dimension to a peninsula beauty with views that are beautiful by day and dazzling by night. Built c1890 on a prime corner block, 'Erne' features an adjoining contemporary pavilion that links the old with the new and features a series of intersecting spaces designed around a north-facing courtyard conceived as a secret garden. Crowned with a unique rooftop viewing terrace overlooking the iconic city skyline, the double-fronted terrace features an innovative layout with four double bedrooms, a choice of living areas, home office and internal access to a lock-up garage (an absolute rarity on the peninsula!). A fantastic location between Mort Bay Park and Birchgrove Oval is perfect for families, 400m to Birchgrove Public School and a 650m walk to Balmain Wharf for a relaxed commute to the city.
