88 Glassop Street, Balmain, NSW 2041

The creative reinvention of this grand Victorian Italianate terrace pays homage to the past while delivering the ultimate family entertainer in an exclusive setting on the edge of Elkington Park and the iconic Dawn Fraser Baths. Recreated by John Greenwood & Associates, the c1890 home soaks up northerly views over Snapper and Spectacle Islands from all three levels with rear lane access to double garaging and a self-contained separate studio. Inspired interiors by Annie Bowen Design meld traditional details with carefully selected finishes creating a tasteful blend of old and new with pops of colour for a chic vibe. Designed with a focus on alfresco living, the social heart of the home flows seamlessly to a landscaped garden haven complete with an outdoor kitchen and heated pool with a viewing window adding a playful spirit, and an outdoor shower for practicalities. Alluring views over the harbour create a stunning backdrop to daily life while its location on one of Balmain's best streets is just 250m to Darling Street village.
