Summary:
Make the most of your time in Sydney by staying in this elegant weatherboard family home. You’ll be able to live the lifestyle Sydneysiders love so much, entertaining in the backyard, cooking in the gourmet Caesarstone kitchen with European appliances, enjoying a glass of wine as you gaze at Cockatoo Island or relaxing in air-conditioned comfort. When it comes time to go out, Balmain’s village shops, cafes and pubs are a short stroll. The city is 15 minutes by bus, or even better hop on a ferry.
The Space:
This three-story freestanding weatherboard home has been renovated throughout to provide as much space and natural light as possible. The open-plan living and dining area has views toward Cockatoo Island and beyond, the backyard is perfect for a long lunch, and there are multiple living spaces to choose from.

The Neighborhood:
An even more sought-after address than neighbouring Balmain, which is already plenty sought after, Birchgrove is famed for its grand homes and water views. Its sleepier than its larger neighbour, but only a short hop on the ferry to the city. Large Victorian terraces and freestanding homes are mixed in with plenty of parkland, and the local social scene revolves around trendy cafes.
Getting Around:
Public transport
Buses to the city leave every half an hour on Rowntree St, just around the corner, and take 15 minutes.
Ride sharing
Ride sharing apps are a safe and easy way to get around, especially later at night when public transport services are less frequent. Prices are about two-thirds that of taking a taxi, but may surge during bad weather or public events.
