Garden Pavillion, Balgowlah IH | House in Balgowlah
4 Bedroom House in Balgowlah
What We Love
Capturing iconic views from its contemporary interior, this serene modern home is a stunning retreat in the heart of buzzing Sydney. Boasting a yoga studio, infrared sauna, outdoor shower and an unbeatable location, this is a paradise for the active traveller. Designed by leading architect Walter Barda, this 1925 house stands as one of the first 5 original houses in Balgowlah.
Clean white walls frame dazzling views throughout this elegant home just waiting to form the backdrop to your next holistic escape. As you enter the property, you’ll arrive directly into the entrance parlour, a grand space adorned with striking artwork to welcome you to your next escape. Traversing through this spacious home you’ll find plenty of entertaining spaces, each well-appointed with playful interior pieces to create a welcoming and laid-back escape. Enjoy the main living and dining space, where a large white sofa beckons, ready for casual conversation, or throw open the verandah doors and sit in the sunshine overlooking the harbour. Don’t miss the changing light as day dwindles to evening; dine under soft lampshades at the formal dining table inside yet looking out. If you’re cooking your own feast, the self-contained kitchen provides culinary style in abundance.
As would be expected from a home of this calibre, the bedrooms and private spaces don’t disappoint. The master suite is a room of dreams. Calming neutral tones embrace a King bed, under the gentle breeze of a ceiling fan. This room also boasts a glamorous ensuite with a free-standing bath, plus a private terrace in this room, ideal for the sunrise appreciators. The second bedroom is just as serene, housing a sumptuous Queen bed, and providing a second ensuite. The 3rd & 4th bedrooms are designed to feel like NY apartment lofts. The third and fourth rooms house Queen beds, share a stylish bathroom and benefit from aircon.
The outdoor back garden area is designed with gatherings in mind. The courtyard’s layout and amenities are customised to accommodate family get-togethers. With afternoon sun, the space offers an inviting ambiance, further enriched by the addition of a pizza oven, which adds a touch of charm and versatility to the area. Active guests will also love the wellness studio, ideal for a yoga or free-weights session during your stay. After building up a sweat working out, retreat to the infra-red sauna, followed by a cool-off in the outdoor shower - the perfect start to a rejuvenating day.
Nestled between the buzz of Manly and the tranquillity of Sydney’s Northern Beaches, Balgowlah is a hidden gem that seamlessly blends coastal living with urban sophistication.
