Balmain East 24 Pearson Street

Masterful design vision showcasing a meticulous restoration and spectacular harbour views

A state-of-the-art project of magnificent scale and masterful design vision, this spectacular home is part of a prestigious Balmain East dress-circle, capturing breathtakingly intimate views over Darling Harbour, Barangaroo and the city skyline, all the way to the Anzac Bridge.

The original Gothic architecture has been faithfully preserved and restored to meticulous standards, with exquisite natural materials that merge harmoniously with state-of-the-art contemporary accents. The restoration incorporates premium Western Red Cedar, pointed arch windows, three antique chandeliers and an array of bespoke carved fireplaces, all in keeping with the grand 1868 pedigree.

The waterfront wing epitomises the height of contemporary elegance, with the voluminous open plan living area displaying soaring double height ceilings. Full length Luxembourg-imported Keller windows embrace the view's full potential, framing expansive blue skies and picturesque vistas of the water meeting the foreshore.

A tessellated tile courtyard meanders through hedge-lined gardens, while the conservatory style gallery creates a seamless connection from the old world to the new world. Exposed brickwork and sandstone imbues the interiors with warmth and charm, highlighting the building's rich historical significance.

A remarkable array of living areas, bedrooms and guest suites comprise the layout, with seven bedrooms including a self-contained Au Pair quarters with water views. Among the living zones are the ornate formal lounge and dining rooms, plus an elegant glass-framed whiskey room.

The Chef's kitchen features stunning full slab bookmark marble, professional grade Wolf appliances and an integrated Sub Zero fridge. Ducted air conditioning, Jetmaster gas fireplaces, Sonos integrated sound and a vast wine cellar add enormous appeal. An effortless level flow takes you from the front door right through to the entertainers' balcony, leading down to the heated pool, poolside terrace and sunlit lawn.

From the moment you step inside this inspired home you'll be immersed in opulence, with a wonderful sense of being hidden away in paradise.
