Panoramic 270-degree views centred on the city skyline and Harbour Bridge bring a sense of theatre to this luxurious penthouse. By day, heritage Balmain rooftops form a rich architectural foreground, while by night the city lights create a mesmerising, almost cinematic backdrop. Holding a coveted position in the tightly held Bijou, the residence crowns the creative transformation of the former National Theatre, known locally as The Nash, later a cinema and vaudeville house opposite Balmain Town Hall. Reimagined as a landmark residential address, the building's storied past lends rare depth and character to contemporary living. Spread over 180sqm approx, the three-bedroom apartment is wrapped in a travertine terrace with a sequence of outdoor zones for entertaining, retreating or simply soaking up the vista. Interiors by SJB capture the essence of quiet luxury while level lift access to double garaging and a storeroom delivers effortless lock-up-and-leave convenience. Living is easy with a landscaped common garden and a lush vertical garden concealed behind the historic Art Deco facade and Darling Street's cosmopolitan village hub at the doorstep.
