Hidden behind a vibrant, tenanted cafe, this architecturally designed family residence offers a fabulous investment, business opportunity and home in one package, with Barangaroo, bridge and harbour vistas from its upper deck.

“It’s rare to find and then secure an entire building in Balmain East that functions as a good size family home with basement parking and a pool, plus an income stream. They just don’t exist,” Ben Southwell told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND.

“The joy with this home is it was built and curated by an architect some 25 years ago for his family, “Ben explained to LUXURY LIST WEEKEND. 

“Every conceivable thought has gone into every inch of this home and with the changes in council codes since this time, you would be hard pressed to recreate this size dwelling on this size plot ever again. The views are also pretty special.”

The stylish, popular café at the front features a kitchen & bathroom and is in the second year of a 2 x 4 year tenancy, with approximate income of $42,000.

Entry to the house is discrete, making use of an original convict sandstone wall. 

The lower level of the home is open plan, with living and dining spaces set alongside a Stainless Smeg gas kitchen and WI pantry.
