Last Listing description (July 2013)

Original cottage on a deep waterfront block
Lifestyle - Under instruction from the NSW Trustee and Guardian, this original cottage offers rare untapped potential in a premium waterfront setting. It is positioned on a sunny 252sqm block of deep waterfront land with Cockatoo Island at the centre of uninterrupted northerly panoramas over the Parramatta River. Ferries, foreshore parks and Darling Street shops and cafes are all just a short stroll away.
Accommodation - This much loved home has been tightly held by one family for around 100 years and now provides an inspiring starting point for a contemporary reinvention complete with boat facilities (STCA). The single level layout comprises three bedrooms plus a sunroom, separate lounge and dining areas, and there is fantastic scope to further capitalise on the sunny aspect and impressive water views.

Features - One of the last original homes remaining in the area, this is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity to custom design a waterfront retreat in an idyllic setting perfectly suited to families and boating enthusiasts. It is just footsteps to the Balmain Sailing Club and a short stroll to a selection of excellent schools, city buses and the waterfront Elkington, Birchgrove and Mort Bay Parks.
Additional feature/s - Area Views.
