INSPECTIONS BY APPOINTMENT ONLY
Ideally positioned at the end of a tightly held row, this classic Queen Anne terrace enjoys a prized freestanding northern aspect, bathing the interiors in natural light throughout the day. Set on an exceptional 329sqm level block – a landholding rarely seen in this tightly constrained harbourside enclave – this is a genuine blue-chip opportunity in one of Balmain East's most exclusive pockets.
For buyers who understand value, the real story here is the land. A level yard of this scale in Balmain East is extraordinarily rare. It delivers immediate lifestyle flexibility while underpinning strong long-term capital preservation in a location where large parcels are seldom offered and even more seldom relinquished.
The Residence
• Accommodation: Three generous bedrooms with optional fourth, including a master retreat with expansive sunroom/study – ideal for the hybrid executive or growing family.
• Layout: Defined formal and informal living zones, offering the separation and scale rarely found in traditional terrace homes.
• Land Content: An exceptionally large, level rear garden – a true standout feature. There is genuine space for children to play, substantial entertaining, future landscaping enhancement or value-adding potential (STCA).
• Condition: Immaculately presented and maintained, providing a seamless turnkey solution for the sophisticated purchaser.
The Location
• Transport: Approx. 350m to Balmain East Ferry Wharf for immediate harbour access. Bus services via Darling Street connect directly to the CBD.
• Commute: Around 5 minutes by ferry to Barangaroo or 15 minutes to Circular Quay.
• Lifestyle: Moments to Darling Street's café culture, boutique retail and village atmosphere.
• Schools: Within the catchments for Nicholson Street Public School and Balmain Public School, with easy ferry access to leading city private schools.
• Recreation: Approximately 400m to Iloura Reserve for harbour foreshore walks, open green space and family picnics.
The Strategic Opportunity
Opportunities offering this combination of substantial level land, northern orientation and heritage architecture in Balmain East are statistically scarce. The size of the yard alone places this property in a tightly held category of its own.
With land of this calibre increasingly unobtainable in the peninsula market, this is not simply a beautiful home – it is a high-growth asset with irreplaceable fundamentals.
For the astute buyer, this is a compelling value proposition and a rare chance to secure scale, light and land in a location where they are seldom found.
