28/10 Gow Street, Balmain NSW 2041

Waterfront corner position | 135 sqm three-bedroom rarity | North-west harbour outlook | Owner-occupier appeal in mixed-tenure street This apartment occupies a genuinely uncommon configuration within the Tarrawonga building: a north-west corner unit with 180-degree harbour views and a floor plan that rivals many freestanding houses. The internal area is generous for a three-bedroom apartment, and both the master suite with its own north-facing balcony and the open-plan living with glass frontage make the most of the natural light and water aspect. For a buyer seeking a permanent residence or a long-term hold in Balmain’s waterfront precinct, this property offers positional scarcity—only a handful of three-bedroom units exist in this complex—and direct harbour access that few apartments in the suburb can match. It best suits an owner-occupier who values outlook and space over absolute silence, given the 50% rental mix on the street. The primary risk is the building’s mixed tenancy profile, which can affect lending appetite and future resale velocity if strata sentiment shifts. However, the 13-year hold by the previous owner suggests a stable building with no obvious structural or management issues. The opportunity lies in the apartment’s corner positioning within a low-density complex—this limits overlooking and maximises privacy, a rare combination in a waterfront block. Buyers should verify the balcony condition and any upcoming special levies, but the configuration alone gives this property a defensible advantage over newer developments with smaller floorplates.
