About this listing
What We Love
Set on one of Balmain East's prized streets, this two bedroom home places you within Sydney's most established harbourside enclave. Contemporary architecture meets considered detail across two levels, creating spaces that balance refinement with the relaxed rhythms of peninsula living.
Living & Entertaining
Light pours through timber framed windows into an open plan ground floor that connects without compromise. The kitchen anchors the space with its curved timber feature wall, a sculptural element that softens the room while providing subtle separation between cooking and lounging. Pale terrazzo benchtops sit against walnut cabinetry, while fluted detailing on the island brings texture without fuss. The space flows seamlessly to a rear courtyard garden, where established greenery provides privacy and shade. Upstairs, a private balcony extends the queen bedroom into open air. The outdoor zones work year round, equipped with BBQ facilities for spontaneous meals and built-in lounging that turns evenings into lingering occasions.
Sleep
The upper level queen bedroom opens directly onto its private balcony, where mornings start with coffee above the treetops and glimpses of neighbouring heritage rooflines. Horizontal timber cladding in soft sage wraps the room in calm, while natural light filters through sheer curtains. On the ground floor, the king bedroom offers a quiet retreat that’s perfect for guests or a family member seeking a little extra privacy.
Kitchen & Dining
The kitchen centres on function wrapped in form. An electric built-in oven and dishwasher integrate into walnut cabinetry that prioritises clean surfaces over visible clutter. The curved timber wall becomes the room's signature, its vertical fluting catching light as the day shifts. Dining unfolds at a timber table positioned between kitchen and lounge, where the open plan naturally draws people together. Overhead lighting is architectural and minimal, keeping focus on the materials and spatial flow.
Bathrooms & Facilities
The main bathroom features pale mosaic tiling floor to ceiling, creating a cohesive shell around a built-in bath beneath a skylight. Brass fixtures add warmth, while a separate shower handles daily needs. The ground floor shower room continues the mosaic treatment with the same palette. The washer and dryer sit within the bathroom. Ducted air conditioning runs throughout both levels.

The Neighbourhood
- Balmain Living Balmain East sits between White Bay and Sydney Harbour, where waterfront reserves and heritage lined streets have evolved into one of the city's most sought after addresses. Darling Street forms the village centre minutes away, while hidden harbour beaches and parks scatter along the foreshore.
- Dining & Coffee Café Cornucopia and Café Charlotte handle morning coffee and breakfast. Cappello Ristorante & Pizzeria serves Italian, while Phamous Kitchen delivers Asian sharing plates for relaxed dining. The London Hotel provides drinks with locals. Balmain Market fills Saturday mornings with organic produce and artisan goods.
- Harbour & Wellness Ewenton Park curves along the harbour foreshore, offering morning running paths and sunset viewing points. Illoura Reserve provides harbour swimming at a sheltered beach known mainly to locals. The foreshore walking paths also connect multiple reserves, tracing the water's edge through established neighbourhoods.
- Day Trips The CBD sits 15 minutes east by car or a short ferry ride from nearby Thames Street wharf, placing the Opera House and Circular Quay within easy reach. Cockatoo Island offers weekend markets and harbour history five minutes by water. Your waterfront position keeps both city attractions close while maintaining the distinct character that makes Balmain a destination in itself.
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.
