You can see the houses are picturesque and well preserved. This is a very expensive and trendy area of Sydney so many have been updated. Part of the reason, other than the historic values are that there are ferries that take only a few minutes to the Central Business District (CBD) of Sydney. The house with the magnolia in front is interesting because (speculating here) it very much looks like 3 original terrace homes combined into one. So you can see how narrow they were. This makes sense as Balmain was a worker's neighbourhood in the 1800's. Ferries have run from Balmain to "Sydney Town" since that time.
