In one of Balmain's best positions, this property is located in a quiet cul-de-sac with uninterrupted north-east harbour views taking in the Harbour Bridge. 

Featuring a self-contained apartment and a slipway on 600 square metres the property has retained much of its traditional appeal.

Agent, Rita Lopresti told SchwartzWilliams, 'It is just so rare to find a waterfront with amazing harbor views with such potential – something like this hardly ever comes up!  It has been over 50 years since the last time it sold. Also, being on 600sqm is large land size for our area.'
 
We would expect the buyer to be someone who is after a good location with waterfront and that can see the value they can add to this property to make it their long term home.

There are three bedrooms and three bathrooms. Two of the bedrooms have access to the balcony and are all on one level. A large one-bedroom apartment is also part of the property, which could be incorporated into the house.

Other features include grand formal lounge and dining rooms with marble fireplaces and a family room, dine-in gas kitchen, and sandstone courtyard.

Additional features:

• Wide shady verandahs
• Northeast grassed garden
• Cellar 
• Scope for parking (STCA)

The property is in a leafy enclave and a short walk to the ferry and local cafes.
