In a row of seven locally significant homes known as 'Ellerslie Terrace' c1880, built by architect and former Balmain Mayor Edward Harman Buchanan, this predominantly double brick late-Victorian terrace combines the grandeur and elegance of the past with tasteful renovations in a sought-after peninsula neighbourhood. The home embraces a due north rear aspect showcasing views over the water to Yurulbin Point and North Sydney, along with outlooks towards Mort Bay, the city skyline and crest of the Anzac Bridge from a traditional front lace balcony. Many other special qualities make up this exceptional address, including a rich tapestry of decorative Italianate Victorian design details, multiple decks and grassed garden for entertaining and an exceptionally rare double garage featuring access from Wharf Road at the rear.
