Heritage charm or bungalow belle: Three of the most enchanting homes for you to see this weekend

Nestled between Rozelle and Balmain village shops, 8 Clare Street has stood the test of time with true grace.

The living room’s heritage features include a decorative ceiling, arched window, original fireplace and rustic Kauri timber floor, bringing warmth and elegance to the residence.

Move through to the kitchen and dining area to find a colourful stained-glass windows, a series of skylights and a quirky splashback of mix-and-match tiles.

Beyond the hedge-framed courtyard, there’s a studio that offers plenty of potential, be it as an extra earner, an art studio, media room or simply as a convenient place for guests to stay.

The home is about 250 metres to Darling Street, and 3.5 kilometres to the CBD.

Matthew Cobden and Rita Lopresti of Cobden & Hayson have the listing, and are taking it to an August 18 auction, where it’s expected to sell for around $1.4 million.

Two more homes we love

It’s all about the outdoor areas at this bright inner-west cottage property.

After a renovation in 2013, the vendors asked their friend and artist Gerard Brown, who goes by “Le Grizz”, to transform their terrace wall.

The resulting graffiti art brings the space immense character, as do the vertical planters and a young Frangipani tree.

Monique Dower of Belle Property Balmain advises of a $1.35 million price guide, ahead of the house’s August 18 auction.

With the name Bunnerong proudly adorning its facade, this Californian bungalow is located in a quiet tree-lined street.

The white picket fence, manicured lawns and ultra-private backyard will no doubt appeal to families, while the cathedral ceilings, custom-built timber cabinetry and Blackbutt floors have a universal allure.

With a price guide of $3.2 million, Bunnerong is listed with Alexander Phillips of Phillips Pantzer Donnelley, who has scheduled an August 25 auction.
