3 Darvall Street, Balmain NSW 2041

The aspect is perfect, the views spectacular and the location one of Balmain's finest giving this grand Victorian villa some serious wow factor. In a coveted setting opposite historic Gladstone Park, the remarkably spacious home enjoys tranquil northerly treescape views from the front while 180-degree views over White Bay and the city skyline to the Anzac Bridge animate the rear and create a dazzling backdrop by night. On the north-east corner of the pair and set on dual access 275sqm, the 6.5m fronted home's highly adaptable layout has been designed to function as a substantial four-bedroom home or as two self-contained dwellings ideal for inter-generational living. Recreated to take full advantage of its breathtaking vista, all the original charm remains serving as a gracious nod to the past while a huge garden is perfect for families with rear access via Bradford Lane. In the heart of the village, a level stroll across the park to Balmain Public School and Darling Street's café and social scene, is just 300m to Woolworths and 700m to the ferry wharf for a pleasant commute to the city.
