A retro treasure in a dress-circle setting

A throwback to the 1970s in a coveted cul-de-sac setting, this freestanding residence is one of only a handful of homes nestled on the eastern shores of the Balmain East peninsula. Capturing panoramic views over Mort Bay with an 8m frontage to the captivating vista, the retro classic is in mint condition with a highly functional mid-century layout featuring four large bedrooms on the upper level and split level living and dining spaces opening to a sunny level garden. Perched above the iconic Waterview Wharf Workshops in a peaceful enclave where homes rarely trade, this unique property comes with a lock-up garage and huge basement but it's the potential here that will really capture your imagination.
