Balmain trophy home Hexham listed with $9 million hopes

Hexham, the Victorian Italianate manor in Balmain, has been listed with a $9 million price tag.

Considered as one of the Balmain peninsula's most attractive properties, the home at 447 Darling Street last traded for $2.1 million in 2001.

Built in the 1890s, Hexham has been revived over the last decade, combining classic heritage with contemporary touches.

There's still the oiriginal Italian marble and English ironwork fireplaces.

Set on 750 sqm, the home has six bedrooms, five bathrooms, two studies and an attic level billiards room with wet bar.

Outside there's an all-weather barbecue pavilion that overlooks a heated swimming pool and level lawn.

An eight car, 145 sqm garage sits under landscaped grounds designed by Secret Gardens.

Cobden & Hayson Balmain agents Danny Cobden and Samantha Elvy are listening to offers until December 6.
