One of Balmain’s earliest homes, ‘Rose Cottage’ c1844 was built for the suburb’s first publican, Edward Robertson. With a sympathetic extension by Oikos Architects and 2022 renovations, it balances Georgian character with modern living. Sandstone, timber floors and period features are preserved, while open-plan living flows to a private deck, native gardens and a historic sandstone outbuilding with colourful local history. A flexible layout includes a rear studio or gym, abundant in-house and under-house storage, and multiple alfresco spaces. In a quiet pocket near Balmain East Ferry Wharf, shops, parks and cafes, this rare home delivers history, lifestyle and convenience.
