14 The Avenue

Harbourside tranquillity, timeless charm and village living come together in this freestanding Federation classic to offer a slice of peninsula magic. Beautifully preserved and rich in character, 'Venetta' is tucked away from the hustle and bustle in a tightly held cul-de-sac with Propellor Park and the waterfront at the end of the tree-lined avenue. Built in the early 1900s, the 9m-fronted home has been sensitively restored and updated allowing its beautiful original features to shine. Ornate ceilings, Kauri floorboards and fireplaces bring warmth and authenticity, while refreshed interiors introduce a relaxed contemporary feel with a single-level layout designed for effortless living. With off-street parking for a small car an invaluable asset in this exclusive harbourside pocket, this is a rare opportunity to buy into one of Balmain East's most tightly held streets. Peaceful, connected and wonderfully community minded, this is peninsula living at its most charming, 650m to the city ferry with cafes, pubs and harbour parks all around. - A freestanding beauty, quiet cul-de-sac, no through-traffic - Traditional tessellated tile verandah and original fretwork - Elegant hallway, beautiful 3.1m ceilings, Kauri floorboards - 2 huge bedrooms both with a fireplace and built-in robes - King-sized main bedroom with a leadlight bay window - 2nd bedroom opens via French doors to a sunny side deck - Free-flowing living and dining rooms, feature fireplace - Bright modern gas kitchen, stainless steel Bosch appliances - Easycare courtyard with deck, gas bbq and heating bayonets - Fresh contemporary bathroom with a bath and shower - Low-maintenance, ideal for the executive buyer/downsizer - Off street parking for a small vehicle, side access - Relaxed ferry commute, walk to cafes, pubs and yoga studios
