A harbourside deceased estate

Occupying a truly exceptional setting in what is unquestionably considered to be one of Balmain's finest streets, this classic dual level terrace presents an opportunity unmatched in character or possibility. Set on an impressively spacious parcel of approximately 208sqm, the home is in need of complete refurbishment throughout. With separate lounge and dining areas, there are three double bedrooms including an upper level master that opens to a Juliet balcony. Complete with stunning character finishes that include an original staircase, ornate fireplaces, timber floors and high ceilings, there is a gas kitchen and a well proportioned garden that is dappled in northern light. With vast scope for personalisation, there is room for reconfiguration to open to the garden, subject to council approval. Literally metres to the harbour's edge, it is just moments to village cafes, regular ferry transport and Darling Street boutiques.
