A custom home in Mortlake is a riverside build with a heritage check and a ferry at the door. This Canada Bay suburb adjacent to Breakfast Point runs Federation cottages, inter-war heritage, post-war stock and contemporary on 400 to 800m2 blocks, and at a $1.9M to $3.5M market a designed home on an eligible lot is a strong play. The Parramatta River foreshore and the Putney ferry connection are the draw.
Heritage Conservation Areas cover several streets, so the status check comes first, and it decides new build versus a sympathetic renovation. The ground is Wianamatta Shale, so footings get stable bearing and a slab off geotech is routine, and on a riverside lot a design oriented to the water makes the most of the position. Where older homes carry fibro a licensed asbestos strip-out comes first.
What I would check first on your Mortlake block: the heritage status, the building envelope, and the orientation to the river. Those set the home.
We build these fixed-price, licence HBL 487805C. Send me the address and I will tell you where it stands.

Riverside, with a ferry
This Canada Bay suburb adjacent to Breakfast Point runs Federation, inter-war, post-war and contemporary stock on 400 to 800m2 blocks.
At a $1.9M to $3.5M market a designed home on an eligible lot is a strong play near the river foreshore and Putney ferry.
Heritage, then design
Heritage Conservation Areas cover several streets, so the status check comes first and decides new build versus renovation.
The Wianamatta Shale gives footings stable bearing, so a slab off geotech is routine, with the design oriented to the water.
