Builders, serious renovators and 'make-over' artists, this c1880s terrace is in need of complete renovations. It presents a chance to capitalise, rejuvenate and craft this original worker's cottage in your own way. This single storey, double brick terrace sits at the end of a row of four with desirable side access to the garden. On the high side of Rowntree St., in an elevated position, it captures sweeping views to the city skyline and is calling out for a second storey extension (STCA). Set in the heart of the vibrant Balmain peninsula, it is a short stroll to the village, Ballast Point, Birchgrove and Mort Bay Parks and Balmain ferry. Just steps to city buses and your local cafe. Birchgrove Public School is nearby. Come see what you can make of it!
