5 Bay Street, Birchgrove, NSW 2041

An artist's haven full of charm and potential, this original weatherboard cottage holds a prized peninsula address on the doorstep of Birchgrove Park and a breezy stroll down to the scenic waterfront. Untouched for decades and in raw original condition, the single-storey cottage is set on a sunny north-east facing block with a lush garden at the rear and potential to add a second storey in line with the neighbouring home (STCA). Bright interiors feature classic high ceilings, exposed sandstone walls and leadlight windows offering the ideal foundations for reinvention in a tranquil spot with Gladstone Store at the end of the street and Charlotte Cafe around the corner. Available for the first time in over 45 years, this is a rare opportunity to make your mark on a vintage classic an easy 700m walk across Mort Bay Park to the ferry wharf or up to the heart of Balmain village.
