Perfectly suited for families, it features a private and fully enclosed garden, offering a safe and serene space for young children to play. With stylish design throughout, the home opens up to leafy gardens, creating a peaceful retreat while maintaining the best of indoor-outdoor living for a sophisticated stay. A bright, modern open-plan entertaining room welcomes you to enjoy in boundless style. Black-framed windows draped in sheer, floor-to-ceiling curtains connect the space to your garden, flooding the room with warm natural light that spills over an inviting arrangement of armchairs and sofas around a circular coffee table. A marble breakfast bar separates the room with design and function, enclosing a premium kitchen—an inspiring space to curate the perfect holiday spread. Flowing seamlessly to the lush outdoor garden and alfresco dining area, large sliding doors invite the outdoors in, with views of vibrant landscaping and an inviting patio equipped with a gas BBQ for the ultimate summer evenings. For cooler nights, a formal indoor dining table is tucked into a romantic corner, under tasteful artwork, perfect for a grand dinner. Afterwards, retire to the second lounge, where a large grey sofa and TV bask in the light of a dramatic chandelier. The three bedrooms are sanctuaries of comfort and tranquillity, with an additional separate studio with an en-suite shower making this the ideal choice for a group of friends. The studio has a fold-out double bed and ensuite shower room—perfect for larger groups or as a private workspace. The main bedroom houses a king-sized bed, while the two additional double bedrooms offer serene retreats with thoughtful artwork adorning the restful walls. You’ll also have access to two full bathrooms, providing plenty of space for your group to prepare for an enviable day. Balmain’s unique mix of heritage charm and modern amenities, along with close proximity to the CBD, offers an enviable lifestyle with plenty to amuse. Filled with leafy foreshore reserves, colourful buildings, and spectacular harbour views, a scenic walk is a wonderful way to take it all in—stopping at one of many creative cafés, restaurants, and boutiques along the way, of course! We recommend exploring the boutiques along Darling Street and rummaging for bargains at the weekend Rozelle Collectors Flea Market, where fashion, fresh produce, and bric-a-brac are side by side. Heading into the city? The ferry takes you there in style, right under the iconic Harbour Bridge, adding a unique touch to an already enticing stay in this creative ‘burb.

Home Truths: \- The master bedroom doesn't have block out blinds, only a privacy blind that is sheer. This will not keep the light out, so please be mindful when booking. Refer to images for a better understanding. \- 1 parking permit is available for complimentary street parking, There is also a driveway right to the door that can be used for convenient pick ups and drop off or unloading groceries. The Neighbourhood \- Darling Street is the perfect place for a stroll when you’re hungry. The epicurious will delight in its varied array of cuisine, from French to Italian, right on your doorstep. We recommend Dolce Napoli Balmain for a rustic local fave. \- For a refreshing dip on a hot summer’s day, head to the Dawn Fraser Baths. A saltwater tidal pool with heritage-listed 1880s architecture, it’s the ideal spot for sunbathing or swimming during the summer. \- For a scenic walk with views of the old and new, visit Ballast Point Lookout for a picnic or just some peace and quiet. \- Explore one of the city’s oldest pubs, the London Hotel, where you can drink, dine, and relax in a classic space with views of the city. There are great public transport links around this property, and you’re welcome to bring your own car. If you don't have a car we recommend a car-sharing app such as Uber. Take the ferry under Harbour Bridge to Circular Quay, or go from Balmain East to Barangaroo. There are also a number of buses crossing the Anzac Bridge to the CBD.
