Enjoying a coveted setting opposite College Street Playground, between picturesque Mort Bay Park and the colourful village attractions of Darling Street, this single-storey worker's cottage has been lovingly held in the same family for 30 years. Now it's time for new custodians to make their mark on the home, which offers plenty of potential for further enhancement – perhaps open up the rear to the garden, add a second storey or convert the outhouse storage space (STCA). Freestanding to its northern side, it's bathed in sunshine and brimming with charm thanks to a host of appealing original features, from fireplaces to high ceilings. Immerse yourself in quintessential Balmain life, enjoying a multicultural culinary scene, cosy afternoons by the fire at the Dry Dock Hotel, strolls around the harbour or a scenic trip to the city on the nearby ferry.
