Positioned in one of Birchgrove's most exclusive waterfront enclaves, just up from Balmain Sailing Club, the aptly named 'Riverview' stands as a bold statement of the past that's been fearlessly reimagined for the future. This Birchgrove icon began life as a fisherman's cottage c1880 and has undergone a striking redesign that masterfully updates heritage with contemporary edge, injecting serious style and vitality into every corner.
Built to own its vista, this two-storey statement sits confidently on a sun-drenched corner block with commanding northerly views over Cockatoo Island as a mesmerising, ever-shifting backdrop. The design's genius lies in its seamless flow between meticulously landscaped gardens, a showstopping mineral pool with waterfall feature, and a sophisticated two-bedroom studio that flexes between guest accommodation, creative workspace, or premium garaging conversion, because ordinary options aren't an option here.
Step outside to claim the harbour foreshore, Birchgrove Wharf beckons in one direction, while Elkington Park and the legendary Dawn Fraser baths await in the other.
