1a Tilba Ave, Balmain NSW 2041

With one of the best waterfront positions in Balmain, next to Elkington Park and Dawn Fraser Baths, this historic beauty is set on a north facing 542sqm landholding with panoramic 180 degree views that stretch across Cockatoo and Spectacle Islands as a captivating ever-changing backdrop. Built in 1901 and available for the first time in 43 years, the grand freestanding home has been conceived as a boat lover's paradise that embraces the theatre of its setting with glorious established gardens and flagstone terraces that lead down to the water's edge with a slipway and boathouse. The views are breathtaking, the setting is magical and the opportunity extraordinary.
