While the elegant filigree facade of this 1890s terrace evokes nostalgic charm, the two-storey home has been reimagined for contemporary living with a focus on space, light and functionality. Set on the edge of Punch Park, this c1890 village beauty opens to a sunny north-east facing courtyard framed by jasmine with a lush landscaped garden providing the perfect setting for relaxed alfresco entertaining. Polished floorboards in a natural finish anchor the interiors where an oversized layout offers a choice of living areas and a custom olive green kitchen. Both bedrooms are positioned on the upper level, the main with a romantic lacework balcony and the second capturing city skyline views, while a versatile lounge or home office can easily serve as a third bedroom. Blending heritage character with contemporary comfort, this feel-good home enjoys an enviable setting between Balmain village and the future White Bay metro station precinct, just 650m to Woolworths and Darling Street cafes, and 700m to Fluidform Pilates and cult bakery Dawn Baked Goods.
