Highlights

A grand double-fronted sandstone villa with water outlooks and beautiful preservation throughout, this north facing residence is known as Eleanor Villa, dating back to 1856. Fully restored by architect/owners over 20 years, every attempt has been made to retain material from the original design and construction, with patina respected and highlighted, from the French doors, to the original floorboards. Set over three levels with front parking and a lock-up garage, it's just metres to the waterfront, between Mort Bay Park and Birchgrove Park. With close access to Balmain ferry and 441 bus to CBD and Art Gallery of NSW, it is a beautiful timepiece and family home in the peninsula's most tightly-held address.
