### Bright Family Home in the Heart of Balmain

Summary:  
Stylishly renovated three bedroom terrace set in the heart of Balmain just 10 minutes drive or ferry to the city. The house and garden are yours to enjoy on your stay. A short walk to an award winning array of pubs and restaurants in one of Sydney's most prized villages. Take in the nearby Rozelle and Orange Grove weekend markets or amble through the peninsula's historic streetscapes and lush parks nestled among harbour views.  
  
The Space:  
Two generous living spaces with large comfortable sofas and furniture from Jardan, Globe West and Urban Couture. There is a collection of notable art works by UK Street Artist Eine, Rebecca Straker-Cunningham and George Raftopolous. There is also a collection of poster art personally sourced from Havana, London and New York. The house also features ceiling fans and reverse cycle air conditioning throughout.  
  
New cook's kitchen featuring marble bench tops, dish drawers and a large Fisher & Paykel 90cm oven, seamlessly opening onto a balcony with a Beefeater BBQ. Also includes a small secure parking spot if needed.  
  
2 bathrooms. Ensuite bathroom upstairs off the master bedroom.  
  
All three bedrooms are stylishly decorated with linen doona covers, down duvets, luxurious sheets and treasured objects. The upstairs master suite features a balcony and an extra deep bath.  
  
A large work-from-home office / kids lounge equipped with a Samsung Frame TV, which can be utilized as a fourth bedroom if needed.  
  
Foxtel and Netflix are also features available for your entertainment :)  
  
Happy for guests to make themselves at our family home while we take a trip of our own :)

Guests are most welcome to enjoy the entire house.  
  
For security purposes, check-in details will be emailed to confirmed guests 2 days before arrival for an easy smooth fast check-in. Kindly make sure you have submitted the security form with all the valid ID's of all adult guests staying so that you receive a seamless check-in experience :) For the home owners security, only guests who are listed on the security form are allowed access to the property.  
  
The Neighborhood:  
Famous for its shopping, pubs and bars and most of all village atmosphere, Balmain was once a rough and ready working-class enclave thats best known as a busy ship building industry, power station and the iconic Colgate Palmolive warehouse. Much of the precinct's historic roots have been retained including the award-winning framing of an old oil refinery at Ballast Point Park which forms part of a extensive walkway on the edge of the harbour with fantastic views - particularly for the city's world famous New Years Eve fireworks. More than a dozen pubs come alive at night with a wide array of bands, DJs to suit all tastes. In the warmer months, a must visit is Australia's oldest pool - the Dawn Fraser Baths - where you can swim in a historic tidal flow salt water setting. There's also a wide array of shops and cafes along Darling Street with great Italian, Middle East, Japanese and modern Australian fare all within a few blocks walk.  
  
Getting Around:  
Balmain people are terrific: forward thinking and contemporary, a little bit bohemian and always happy to chat. I like the buzzy scene here. I treasure being able to walk everywhere, we walk to visit friends and to the shops, cafes, restaurants, parks and playgrounds. We love catching ferries too.  
  
There is free unrestricted parking on our street which is widely available. A bus stop 50m from the house gives direct access to the city in under 10 mins.  
  
Other Things to Note:  
There is free unlimited street parking on our street - Mullens St.  
  
All guest are required to complete an online insurance / security form. This step involves uploading an ID and a selfie holding the ID to verify the booking details. For the home owners security, only guests who are listed on the security form are allowed access to the property.  
  
Australia is a tropical country, from time to time you may see bugs, spiders and insects, mostly harmless. We don't accept cancellations on the above but are at your disposal should you need any assistance. We regularly fumigate the property to prevent unwanted pests.  
  
There is also a building boom going on throughout Sydney we don't refund for construction noise if anything is going on in the neighbourhood however if there is works being done next door or in the same building we will have a note in our summary.  
  
There is a non refundable 4.5% charge when you pay with a credit/debit card. All guests are required to complete an online insurance / security form before checking in. This step involves uploading an ID and a selfie to verify the booking details. Service fee is non refundable when booking is cancelled.
