Architecturally designed by Paul Connor and one of Balmain's landmark harbourside residences dating to 1844, this magnificent freestanding house is set on a substantial and elevated block with two street frontages, well-secluded behind high and historic sandstone walls. Within this cloistered setting is a sprawling house and garden with a rare uninterrupted harbour vantage, allowing spectacular vistas of Sydney Harbour, the Harbour Bridge, Goat Island, the Lower North Shore, Balmain Shipyard and beyond.
