Balmain Enclave ISYD

What We Love

Balmain Enclave is a contemporary two bedroom, two bathroom home in Balmain East, on Sydney's inner harbour peninsula. Renovated across two levels, it sleeps up to 4 guests in two king bedrooms, with a separate upstairs study, a private balcony and a rear courtyard garden with BBQ. There is no on-site parking, with street parking nearby.

It suits couples travelling together, small families (a portacot is available), corporate guests who want a quiet base about 6 minutes by ferry from Barangaroo, and longer stays, with a full kitchen, washer and dryer, and a dedicated study with wifi and ethernet.

Living & Entertaining
The ground floor is open plan, with light pouring through timber framed windows. A curved timber feature wall anchors the kitchen and gently separates cooking from lounging. The living area opens to the rear courtyard garden, where established greenery gives privacy and shade, and built-in seating and a BBQ make easy work of long evenings outdoors. Upstairs, a separate light-filled study is set up for working or reading.

Sleep
The upper level king bedroom opens straight onto its private balcony, a lovely spot for morning coffee above the treetops with glimpses of heritage rooflines. Horizontal timber cladding in soft sage and sheer curtains keep the room calm, with black-out blinds for a proper sleep-in. The second king bedroom sits on the ground floor, giving guests or family members a little extra privacy.

Kitchen & Dining
Pale terrazzo benchtops sit against walnut cabinetry, with fluted detailing on the island bench. You'll find an electric built-in oven, cooktop, dishwasher, microwave, rice cooker, blender, toaster, kettle and coffee maker, plus all the cooking basics and wine glasses. The timber dining table sits between the kitchen and lounge, and there is outdoor dining in the courtyard.

Bathrooms & Facilities
The main bathroom on the upper level is tiled in pale mosaic from floor to ceiling, with a built-in bath beneath a skylight, a separate shower and brass fixtures. The ground floor shower room carries the same mosaic palette. The washer and dryer are tucked inside the bathroom. Ducted air conditioning and heating run through both levels.

The Neighbourhood

• Balmain Living: Balmain East sits at the harbour end of the Balmain peninsula, between White Bay and Sydney Harbour, with heritage-lined streets and foreshore reserves. Darling Street is the village high street, lined with cafés, restaurants, pubs and boutiques.
• Dining & Coffee: Café Cornucopia and Café Charlotte for morning coffee and breakfast, Cappello Ristorante & Pizzeria for Italian, and Phamous Kitchen for Asian sharing plates. The London Hotel is a classic Balmain pub. Balmain Market brings organic produce and artisan goods to Darling Street every Saturday.
• Harbour & Wellness: Ewenton Park and the Balmain foreshore paths are made for morning runs and sunset walks, and Dawn Fraser Baths offers heritage harbour swimming in the warmer months.
• Day Trips: Catch the ferry to Circular Quay for the Opera House, The Rocks and the Royal Botanic Garden, or to Barangaroo for waterfront dining. Cockatoo Island, with its convict history and harbour views, is a ferry ride away.

Ferries and buses are close by, and street parking is available if you bring a car. A GoGet car share pod is located in the Union Street car park.

Home Truths

• The home is set over two levels connected by internal stairs. The ground floor king bedroom and shower room suit anyone who prefers to avoid stairs.
• There is no on-site parking. Street parking is available nearby and may be time restricted.
• Balmain East is hilly, so expect some slopes and steps on the walk to the ferry wharf.
• The washer and dryer are located inside the bathroom.
• This is a smoke-free property, and pets are not permitted.

We may request further identification from you for the property records.
