Harbour serenity meets historic charm in this freestanding double-fronted weatherboard cottage, perfectly positioned beside Balmain Sailing Club and moments from Birchgrove's harbourside parks. Set on a prime 255sqm approx just footsteps to the foreshore, the home radiates warmth and simplicity with its airy single-level layout and idyllic established garden. Three double bedrooms and a choice of living areas offer family flexibility, while the new designer kitchen brings a contemporary edge. Water glimpses from the front verandah add a touch of magic with potential for a second storey in line with neighbouring homes to capture sweeping harbour views (STCA). On the market for the first time in over 30 years, this is a rare opportunity in a tightly held peninsula enclave renowned for its community feel and walk-everywhere convenience. Within the Birchgrove Public School catchment, the home is just 300m to Birchgrove Oval and tennis courts, 600m to The Dry Dock, and a short stroll to village life and the ferry wharf.
