7 sins - PRIDE - Balmoral


PRIDE = Home pride

So, this little series of 7 sins is about house pride, ie beautiful houses I have seen around on the market. Today is from a rather gorgeous suburb by the water in Sydney called Balmoral. When I first moved out of home I lived here....well not in this house.... in a unit by the beach....well not by the beach exactly but near enough!!!


Beautiful  Balmoral beach it is an inner harbour beach so the waters are quiet.


This is a classic federation house, the federation era was mainly between 1900 and 1914 when Australia was going through a prosperous period. They were more ornate than houses built in the past but it was short lived and finished by the time World War II came along and with it a time of osterity.


The master bedroom with it's own sunroom and breathtaking harbour views.







Check out this spectacular sunroom with the round skylight!


and a pool with a view...


looking back up at the house from the pool area.... price on application!!!
I cant even begin to imagine how much this house would sell for but I know it is not in my league!

  1. Look at those wonderful views from every room. Great pool, too and definitely out of my league.

  3. What a beautiful view.
    I hope the owners truly enjoy and appreciate what they have...Really, for me personally, I could not handle living in that much stark "white". I'd have to cozy it up a bit, but what a fun job that would be!

  4. I guess we take that sky for granted here in Oz a bit...
