12 William Street, Balmain East

The centrepiece of an exclusive row of waterfront homes, this executive oasis is simply one of the finest harbourside properties available in Sydney. Commanding world-class views, it includes exquisite landscaped gardens and a jetty facing the dazzling Barangaroo skyline. This private home extends all the way to the water's edge, offering secure access to rare double parking. Sharing the jetty and pontoon with one neighbour, while boasting a large private boat pen in deep water.

The two-storey residence is architecturally enhanced to take advantage of the natural elements. Both levels are immersed in light, while sashless double windows slide down to become balustrades, inviting the harbour breezes to stream throughout the home. Offering large gallery walls for your collection of artwork, the home exudes modern sophistication expressed in clean lines, rich hardwood floors and seamless outdoor transitions. Settle into serenity by the Koi pond in the courtyard, or on either balcony, admiring the cityscape as it transforms from day to night.

Private and secure for day-to-day living, this home is also superbly appointed for entertaining, inviting guests to gather around a gorgeous marble kitchen and a roaring open fire, before slinking into the wine lounge for pre or after-dinner drinks. Landscape artistry composes the harbour-facing garden in two distinct zones. Dense orange blossom hedges create an enclosed seating area, set away from the sightlines of neighbours, while the open space takes form as mature terraced lawns, where you can lavish under the sunshine while listening to the water lapping at the edge of the garden.
