26 The Avenue, Balmain East, NSW 2041

The flawless reimagining of this mid-century marvel captures the essence of quiet luxury with a highly considered renovation that pays homage to the architectural integrity of the original home while weaving a timeless contemporary narrative indoors and out. Surrounded by nature in an idyllic spot on the peninsula, this is one of Balmain's most coveted addresses with northerly views over Mort Bay and Balmain Wharf from both levels and direct access to Propellor Park at the end of the cul-de-sac. A masterclass in restraint, the freestanding home has been newly rebuilt from the ground up retaining its authentic 1960s aesthetic while creating a home of enduring style with a pared back palette of stone and timber and complemented by high-end fixtures and finishes. A true one-of-a-kind, the home offers a sense of tranquillity that's rare to find just 700m to the heart of Balmain village and 600m to the city ferry with views that will never be built out.
