Effortlessly blending classic character with cutting edge architecture and a hip location, this freestanding home is ready to deliver a brilliant Balmain lifestyle. The superb 19th century home - built by first mayor of Balmain John Booth for his daughter - boasts a stunning extension at the rear where soaring vaulted ceilings and expanses of glass create an almost cathedral-like feel. Be inspired by its clever loft retreat, easy indoor to outdoor living and superior setting steps to the bay, Darling Street, hospital, bus and school. Voted one of House & Gardens fifty best rooms and shortlisted by the Australian Institute of Architects NSW Chapter in its annual awards programme, this home has historical pedigree and acknowledged design excellence.
