Harbourside serenity meets city spectacle in this double-fronted c1890 cottage, beautifully reinvented by Matt Stubbs of Design Tribe Projects. Tucked away beside picturesque Ewenton Park on the tranquil shores of White Bay, the freestanding home's pavilion-style extension blends heritage warmth with contemporary innovation in a design that celebrates light, landscape and connection. Opening to a private garden with a chlorine/saltwater plunge pool, the four-bedroom home is crowned with a unique rooftop terrace with spectacular views over the harbour and bright lights of Barangaroo as a magical spot for entertaining. Flexibility is a hallmark with a fully self-contained studio with its own private entry via Grafton Lane, ideal for guest or au pair accommodation or as a creative space, and rear lane access to double garaging. Luxury and sustainability align with an 11.4kW solar power system and Tesla PowerWall while its tucked-away foreshore setting is just 850m to Balmain East ferry wharf and 750m to Darling Street's village heart.
