7A Duke Pl, Balmain East NSW 2041, Australia

The aspect is perfect, the views sublime and the layout extraordinary, but it’s the deep connection with nature and its exclusive peninsula setting that give this harbourside residence a sense of presence and permanence. One of only a handful of homes in a tucked-away enclave between Propellor Park and Balmain East Wharf, the three-storey home basks in natural light with walls of glass framing northerly views over Mort Bay to Ballast Point. An intuitive design by Norman Jago Architects balances privacy with connection, featuring separate living and accommodation zones with a top floor parents’ retreat that’s open to the vista. A leafy treetop canopy affords a sanctuary like feel in the children’s wing while wide harbour views bring a dynamic energy into the living spaces and a lush tropical garden with heated pool creates a superb environment to relax, play and entertain in the sunshine. The home’s footprint features a vast basement storage area while state-of-the-art comforts include zoned air, intelligent lighting and first-rate security to deliver a home that is attuned to nature and innovation.
