6 Terry Street, Balmain, NSW 2041

While the classic charm of this freestanding Californian bungalow shines bright, interiors have been recreated to deliver a stylish contemporary spin on an enduring family favourite. Set high on the street, just 350m to the newly reopened Balmain West Wharf, the two-storey home has been opened up and extended to create a spacious four-bedroom family haven with a pared-back palette of timber, marble and stone delivering a sense of quiet luxury. Separate zones for family living and entertaining include three sunny upper-level bedrooms and a fourth bedroom or second living area with gorgeous leadlight windows as a nod to the home's heritage, while a custom Carrara marble kitchen anchors the main living space. A landscaped courtyard garden, extensive storage, a huge cellar and quality finishes combine sustainable design with superior functionality. With underfloor heating for year-round comfort, this peninsula haven is just 400m to Elkington Park and the iconic Dawn Fraser Baths and footsteps to Sydney Secondary College. - Architecturally redesigned to maximise space and light - 4 double bedrooms, reverse cycle air, 3 with built-ins - Solid American Oak and heated natural stone flooring - Spacious dining anchored by a Carrara marble kitchen - Waterfall breakfast island, Smeg appliances, gas cooktop - Stainless steel worktops, butler's pantry with side access - Huge living with soaring ceilings and underfloor heating - Bi-folds to a private east-facing entertainer's courtyard - 2 stylish European appointed bathrooms, Kaldewei bath - Masses of streamlined storage, alarm system, reverse air - Custom joinery, gas bayonets, Bosch alarm, 24sqm cellar - 200m to pub and eateries and Sydney Secondary College - 350m to the newly reopened Balmain West Wharf and Cafe
