Birchgrove
High Victorian Grandeur
A timeless beauty with one of Birchgrove's most commanding vantage points, this manor-like Victorian residence stands proud on a rare double block with dual perspectives out over Cockatoo Island to the north and over the iconic city skyline from the upper levels. Tastefully renovated interiors weave a dialogue between the classic and contemporary with a gracious nod to the past while creating a perfect environment for family living and entertaining on both a grand and intimate scale. A private north-facing garden designed by Will Dangar features a heated pool and a magnificent Canary Island Date Palm as a towering centrepiece while the top floor retreat captures views to the Harbour Bridge and Opera House. Built in the 1880s, the 10m fronted beauty holds a significant place in Birchgrove's history before being transformed into the luxurious family home that stands today. Stroll down to Balmain Sailing Club or across Mort Bay Park to the ferry.
