Some homes just feel right from the moment you step inside and this ground-floor apartment in an historic 1840s manor is one of them.
With level access, front and rear entries and proportions that surprise, it blends house-like space with the rare charm of a heritage residence
Here's why this home stands out:
*Soaring patterned ceilings, marble-framed decorative fireplace, polished floorboards and panelled walls - period details that bring warmth and character in every corner
*Oversized windows are now dressed with near new shutters, framing leafy views
*Generous and practical layout
*Separate dining space sits just off the modern granite-topped kitchen (complete with stainless gas cooktop and dishwasher)
*Large living area sprawls wide, centred on an ornate period fireplace
*Master bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe space
*Modern bathroom with bath tub
* Access to shared laundry facilities
*Outdoors, you'll find paved courtyards front and back, shared by the small community of just 11 residences
*Balmain Village's buzzing cafés, wine bars and shops within easy reach
*Ferry and buses are a stroll away, meaning the CBD is as easy to reach as the harbourside parks at the end of the street.
It's rare to find a one-bedroom home that delivers this much scale, character and convenience all at once.
