Last Listing description (May 2026)

Steeped in heritage, 'Waterman's Cottage' c1841 is most notable as one of Balmain's earliest stone homes and stands as a locally significant residential landmark. Constructed by renowned stonemason John Cavill, whose craft shaped much of the suburb's early streetscape, it was once the home of Mackenzie 'the waterman', a key figure in the local ferry trade.

Perfectly positioned between Thornton Park and Illoura Reserve and just 60m from Balmain East Wharf, this unique residence is forever embedded in the area's rich history and part of a tightly held peninsula enclave.
