85 Mort Street, Balmain NSW 2041

The sympathetic redesign of one of Balmain's signature double-fronted weatherboard homes has created a private family haven in a tightly held pocket with Mort Bay Park and the city ferry virtually at the doorstep. Built in the late 1800s, this historic treasure is set on a rare 317sqm approx with the traditional front of the home dedicated to private spaces and the huge open living space spilling out to a sun-splashed entertainer's terrace and a lush child-friendly garden. With a gorgeous gabled facade and quintessential good looks, the 10m fronted home's beautiful vintage features and custom finishes inject a sense of life and personality with a highly practical layout featuring four double bedrooms and a choice of living areas. Enjoy the good life, 450m to Darling Street village and Woolworths.
