Sandstone terrace with rear lane access and spectacular views

Retaining architectural authenticity and improved with restraint to preserve and complement its timeless character, this c1860s solid sandstone terrace was built for supervisors of the former Mort’s Dock shipyard and presents as a unique home rich in history. Boasting two street frontages, the property offers refreshing flexibility including scope to reinstate the original three-bedroom layout, and all levels of the house enjoy largely unobstructed views of the city skyline and entire Sydney Harbour Bridge. Also featuring an elevated entertainment deck and a lock-up garage with rooftop garden and rear lane access, the home combines space, charm and functionality approx. 5mins walk from Mort Bay Park and within 850m of Balmain Ferry Wharf and the heart of Darling Street village.
