Refreshingly different and remarkably spacious, this unique 1890s terrace has undergone a creative transformation that mirrors the eclectic spirt of its fashionable Balmain village surrounds. Steeped in history, the former cornershop retains its original shopfront but has been opened out and extended to create a stylish family home with a choice of living spaces and the versatility to accommodate a boutique business or work-from-home setup. Designer interiors are complemented by a choice of alfresco spaces with a private walled courtyard, upper level deck that's a perfect spot for enjoying sunset cocktails, and a charming secret rooftop garden with a Parisian mood and views to the city skyline that are unmistakably Sydney. Designed with functionality at its core, the home features three large upstairs bedrooms, dramatic 4.2m ceilings in the social heart and masses of storage throughout. With rear access via a laneway shared with one other, this one-of-a-kind residence delivers flexibility, charm and effortless urban village living just two sets of traffic lights to the city.
