With dress-circle seats to one of the finest views on the Balmain East peninsula, this tastefully renovated sandstone Victorian Regency sandstone terrace is one of six in the historic Harbour View Terrace row built c1870 by Francis Smith. The reimagining of the three-storey terrace preserves the craftsmanship of the original build with exposed sandstone walls, Kauri floorboards and iron lacework detailing speaking to the past while a designer kitchen and bathroom make for comfortable contemporary living. Fronting picturesque Illoura Reserve, at the very tip of the peninsula, the three-bedroom home offers a generational opportunity to secure a significant piece of Sydney’s past in a truly magical setting with panoramic views over the harbour centred on the Harbour Bridge that will never be built out.
