Facing north and bathed in beautiful sunshine, this solid freestanding early 1900s home is set on a prized dual access 221sqm corner block just up from Birchgrove Public School on the edge of Elkington Park. Grandly scaled interiors, original period features and a spacious flow-through layout make for comfortable living but it's the potential here that will really capture your imagination with scope to add a second storey capitalising on sweeping north-easterly views over Cockatoo Island (STCA). With dual street frontage as well as rear lane access offering potential for off-street parking (STCA), the single-storey home features a choice of living areas making it ideal for family living in a fantastic spot just 350m to the Balmain village with cafes and pubs all around.
