49 Gipps Street

Beautifully reworked to enhance light, volume and everyday liveability, this freestanding worker's cottage has been thoughtfully revived with a calm, contemporary sensibility. A seamless interplay of original character and modern design creates a home that feels both grounded and elevated, with clean lines, quality finishes and a natural flow from front to back. Set within one of Birchgrove's most tightly held pockets, the home offers a peaceful retreat just moments from the energy of Darling Street. Open living spaces connect effortlessly to a sunlit north-east facing garden, creating an easy indoor-outdoor rhythm ideal for both quiet living and entertaining. Beyond what's been delivered, there's also a clear vision for what could come next. A substantial attic space comes with DA approval to create a private parents' retreat, offering a valuable opportunity to further enhance both space and long-term value. Positioned between the harbour foreshore and village life, it's a home that balances lifestyle, design and future upside in equal measure. - Freestanding double-fronted c1900 brick cottage, beautifully reimagined - Soaring 3.1m ceilings, solid oak floors, classic arched hallway - Three generous bedrooms with built-ins, master with ensuite - Separate light-filled study overlooking the garden - Expansive open-plan living and dining bathed in natural light - Velux skylights and seamless indoor/outdoor connection throughout - Sunlit north-east facing garden and entertainer's deck - Designer stone kitchen with waterfall island and premium appliances - Zip tap with chilled, sparkling and boiling water, integrated wine fridge - Two beautifully appointed bathrooms with brushed nickel finishes - Daikin zoned ducted air-conditioning for year-round comfort - Approx. 64sqm attic with DA approval for a parents' retreat addition - Quiet peninsula setting moments to cafés, parks, ferry and village life - 150m to Charlotte Café, 400m to Balmain Sailing Club - Birchgrove Public catchment, footsteps to harbour foreshore walks
