Overview
This beautifully renovated single-storey full brick Victorian cottage has been crafted with impeccable attention to detail and superior finishes, blending traditional character with contemporary style to provide exceptional lifestyle comfort. Situated on a substantial 217sqm north-rear facing block, the residence offers a comfortable and inviting living environment perfect for both relaxation and entertaining.
The property features three spacious double bedrooms, each thoughtfully designed with built-in drawers, ample storage including hallway shelving, and a cocktail/breakfast bar enhancing functional living spaces. The main living and dining areas boast engineered timber floors and high ceilings with downlights, contributing to a bright, airy, and sophisticated interior. Tall sash windows further flood these rooms with natural light, while a reverse cycle air conditioner ensures year-round comfort.
The stone kitchen is a highlight of the home, equipped with stainless steel appliances, a dishwasher, an integrated fridge, and a convenient breakfast bar. This layout seamlessly opens onto a north-facing outdoor entertaining terrace that is sunlit and perfect for alfresco dining or casual gatherings. Adding to the property's appeal is a glamorous bathroom featuring a twin vanity, dual showers, underfloor heating, and a concealed laundry, combining luxury and practicality.
The classic façade is complemented by a front veranda and a corrugated iron roof, with a decked front yard providing privacy and curbside charm. For parking and access, a gated rear lane leads via King Lane to secure, fully fenced off-street parking for two vehicles, an uncommon feature in this sought-after location.
Located within the catchment areas of Birchgrove Public School and Sydney Secondary College, the home is also conveniently close to Balmain Public School, Montessori School, and Fr John Therry Catholic Primary School. City buses are readily accessible, with easy transport links including being just seven stops to Town Hall and a ten-minute walk to Balmain West Wharf for F3 commuter ferry services to Circular Quay.
Residents enjoy proximity to recreational and lifestyle amenities such as Elkington Park, the historic Dawn Fraser Baths, Balmain Rowing Club, Fitzroy Avenue public pontoon, waterfront reserves, and Balmain Sailing Club. The local village atmosphere is supported by nearby libraries, boutiques, bakeries, and the recently reopened Balmain Market.
Boating enthusiasts will value the close distance, about seven minutes on foot, to Corleone Marina Balmain, offering leasing options for berths or moorings and maintaining one of Sydney Harbour's last remaining slipways. This property provides a unique opportunity to move into a vibrant bayside community with a strong sense of connection.
