3 James Lane, Balmain East NSW 2041

Lifestyle - Set on an exclusive 450sqm (approx) parcel with direct garden access to waterfront Thornton Park with the potential for elevated panoramic Harbour Bridge & water views, this historic home built in 1854 represents the opportunity of a lifetime for the astute and imaginative buyer. Given the current property is in complete disrepair, this unprecedented, rare unpolished gem offers unbelievable potential in one of Sydney's most historic, tightly held locations. Truly a blank canvas limited only by your imagination. The property is privately positioned in a quiet no-through lane, steps from Balmain East ferry wharf, city buses, schools and foreshore parks, and mere minutes' drive to Darling Street's famed cafe and shopping precinct.

Accommodation - Overlooking an expansive, private rear garden and the harbour beyond, this amazing property presents a truly unique, once in a lifetime opportunity to build a home taking advantage of these wonderful outlooks. Take advantage too with the option to repurpose the original sandstone dotted around the property to create a special home that pays homage to the home that once was.

Features - Tucked away in one of Sydney's prestige enclaves, the property's expansive block size, exceptional harbourside setting and premium north easterly aspect, in the heart of Balmain East Village with tranquil Sydney Harbour views just waiting to be opened up, invite serious consideration of an exciting scope for development.
