< 1 min
Sydney’s Balmain is a particularly fashionable outpost, and here is a stylishly renovated home set within a charming Victorian terrace.
The interiors of the 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home have been reinvented with designer flair and sees custom joinery and marble adornments combine to form a striking contemporary residence.
Home has been intelligently designed to feature natural light throughout and sees an abundance of clean modern lines in its design, further punctuated with the aforementioned custom joinery and polished concrete flooring.
The kitchen sees a sky-light above – adding swathes of light – and is fitted with Smeg appliances and marble benches.
The marble benchtops are a recurring theme throughout the home, adorning the living space that bleeds out to the outdoor courtyard through floor-to-ceiling glass doors.
The elongated rear courtyard sees easy-to-manage synthetic turf underfoot and a built-in barbecue, bar and seating area.
The upper level hosts the master retreat, with large built-in robes and balcony access. Also here is the ensuite, with twin vanities and double shower replete with more of the matching marble. The lower level hosts the second bedroom.
Further mod-cons include a gas fireplace in the living and dining area, built-in sound system a coordinating bathroom on the lower level, period details such as the patio and balcony.
The home is located in a walk-everywhere address between Punch Park and Balmain’s village heart.
The listing is headed to auction on October 9, and is managed by BresicWhitney. Buyer’s Guide $1,800,000; bresicwhitney.com.au

Scheduled auctions fall to winter levels as vendors hold back on going to market

Grand final fever and the long weekend have dampened scheduled auction activity this weekend, CoreLogic reports.
The number of homes scheduled for auction this weekend is set to halve, with 1,324 properties listed, marking the quietest week since mid June. Melbourne will experience the quietest week since Easter, CoreLogic data shows, with 223 homes prepared to go under the hammer. In Sydney, 805 properties are expected to go to market, the lowest number in seven weeks.
With long weekends in Queensland and South Australia, numbers are also down in Brisbane (111) and Adelaide (86), less than half the properties available for auction the previous week. It’s a less dramatic drop in Canberra, where 83 homes are scheduled for auction, down -22.4 percent on the previous week.
