Title TattleJune 8, 2017

The Australian cricket captain Steve Smith has secured his third acquisition on the Balmain peninsula.

It is a dilapidated three-bedroom Birchgrove cottage that cost $1.95 million when bought from architect David Gole through Danny Cobden, of Cobden & Hayson.

The free-standing Victorian house was marketed as a, “vintage treasure ripe for reinvention”  set on its 200 square metre Birchgrove Road holding.

Last year he bought a $2 million Balmain East knockdown then added a $1,345,000 investment townhouse in the Tin Sheds, Beattie Street, Balmain conversion.

He retains his abode as apartment with ocean views in Coogee, which he bought in 2011 for $1.75 million.

He purchased a one bedroom plus study apartment with courtyard in the recently complete Jameson complex in Sans Souci late last year.
