Overview

Located in the historic precinct of Balmain East, this 1840s colonial sandstone residence merges timeless character with modern luxury. Set on a commanding 306sqm block, the property impresses with its tri-level layout anchored by panoramic north-easterly views of Sydney Harbour, including iconic vistas of the Harbour Bridge and city skyline.

The home’s architectural heritage is artfully preserved through features such as rich timber floors, restored fireplaces, and intricate iron lacework, which enrich the ambience of sunlit living spaces throughout. Contemporary convenience is provided by the elegant marble gas kitchen, equipped with premium Miele appliances and a drying court, reinforcing the home's functionality for everyday living and entertaining.

Four bedrooms plus a home office deliver flexible accommodation options, including two ensuites and a spacious master suite with a walk-in robe.
A top-floor retreat offers privacy and striking harbour views, ideal for relaxing or working from home.
Multiple balconies and a wraparound flagstone courtyard extend living outdoors, enhancing the property's appeal as an entertainer's haven.
Additional amenities include ducted air conditioning, solar power, deep attic storage, and a high-quality Bose sound system.
Gated secure parking for three vehicles stands out as a valuable rarity in this peninsula setting.

The residence’s elevated harbour frontage, along with its proximity to local amenities—just 350 metres to Balmain East Wharf, Nicholson Street Public School, village shops, and harbour parklands—makes it a compelling offering for those seeking a blend of heritage charm, lifestyle convenience, and spectacular natural outlooks.
