Cocooned in nature and perched high for privacy, this is one of Balmain's rare treasures originally built in the mid 1800's and wrapped in enchanting gardens on 355sqm by the shores of Mort Bay. Steeped in the peninsula's early history and a rich reminder of its cultural past, the former farmhouse is bathed in northerly sunshine with views from the upper level that sweep across from the city skyline and Barangaroo out to North Sydney. The home has been tastefully updated retaining its authentic soul and charm with a flexible layout ideally suited to the shifting patterns of family life and plenty of scope to adapt. Full of warmth and whimsy, this family haven offers a sense of privacy that's rare to find on the peninsula on double the average Balmain block size in a fantastic spot just 100m to Mort Bay Park, 200m to the city ferry and 500m to the heart of the village and Darling Street's cafe, arts and social scene.
