This landmark Balmain home has been tightly held for almost 40 years and is set in a premiere location, just a 5-minute walk from Mort Bay Park, Balmain Wharf and Darling Street's many cafes, bars and restaurants. Built circa-1860 by Sir Thomas Mort himself, the two-storey home presents a prime opportunity to add value on its 247sqm block which boasts a 10m frontage.
The backyard features an undercover alfresco area with a retractable awning looking up to elevated manicured lawns, surrounded by a leafy garden. A perfect entertainers oasis offering complete privacy, with direct side lane access including the potential to add value with the addition of a swimming pool (STCA).
High, vaulted ceilings, artistic light fixtures and original timber floors welcome guests in. Natural light floods into the expansive combined lounge and dining area through a skylight and timber-framed glass doors which lead to outdoor entertaining. The spacious kitchen is perfect for catering or whipping up a quick meal, with butcher's block benchtops, gas cooking and ample pantry space. Each of the three bedrooms on this level includes ornate fireplaces.
The main bedroom is a relaxing retreat; spanning the entire upper level, it has an ensuite with shower and bathtub, a walk-in robe and a skylight, allowing for plenty of natural light.
