It`s a spacious quiet one bedroom apartment in Balmain - the entire ground floor with a private garden and water views.

A spacious comfortable one bedroom apartment with its separate private entrance. It occupies the entire ground floor of a 2 storey sandstone house near the harbour. Available for exchange or rent ($950/week - minimum 2 weeks). Built by a master mariner in the 1850`s, it overlooks Mort Bay and Me-Mel Island.

The apartment is light-filled, relaxing and quiet with an established garden of frangipanis, hibiscus, native Australian plants and herbs. It is an apartment that is welcoming - art works, a library and a gas-heated lounge/dining room add a special cosy quality in winter. In summer it is a cool stone-walled apartment.

The kitchen is contemporary and practical with exposed sandstone walls and a high ceiling. There is a choice of dining spaces - in the kitchen or dining room or on the garden terrace. The lounge room has a large timber dining table that is also excellent if you need to work from home. The WIFI is fast, secure and free. The large bedroom has a comfortable queen size bed with quality linen and towels. The bathroom has been renovated recently.

Transport to the city is convenient and quick - it`s a 7 minutes walk to Thames Street wharf (BALMAIN wharf) for a F4 ferry to McMahons Point and Circular Quay in the CBD of Sydney. Bus 442 leaves from Darling Street to the city. Excellent cafes and restaurants and Woolworths supermarket are all with an easy walk from the apartment.

I can email you extra information and photos if you need more details.
