Beyond the gates of a tightly held gated estate on the Balmain East peninsula lies a home of scale, grace and timeless appeal that's moments from the water's edge yet a world away from the hustle and bustle. Bathed in natural light and opening to a landscaped NE-facing entertainer's courtyard, the freestanding three-storey home is crowned with a parents' retreat with intimate harbour views while a series of living spaces and an easy indoor/outdoor flow define low-maintenance living. Grandly scaled interiors capture the essence of quiet luxury with an exceptional layout featuring four tranquil bedrooms and a studio retreat above the double lock-up garage. Timeless architectural detailing and refined finishes strike a perfect chord between style and comfort with ducted air, surround sound and first-rate security while a coveted location just 550m to the ferry wharf and footsteps to village life offers the best of peaceful seclusion and urban convenience with the city within easy reach.
