Private bedroom
- Shared bathroom
- TV aerial outlet
- Own outdoor area
It has ample space – the current housemate has a desk, a chest of drawers, wardrobe, gym equipment, guitar set up, a queen bed and still has plenty of room for activities. This is not your typical tiny, cramped Inner West bedroom :)
The bathroom has good storage and is shared with one other housemate. He is a pretty low maintenance kind of guy so you can hog all the storage if your beauty routine is a little more complex ;)
There's also an underground secure parking space available for another $30pw (there's also unrestricted convenient off street parking right outside the house)
Home Description
Description of the home
Modern and spacious 3-bedroom villa in a quiet but very conveniently placed street in Balmain.
The shared living spaces are all on the first level:
- modern kitchen with gas appliances and dishwasher
- large living/dining room
- internal laundry with washer and dryer
- third toilet downstairs
- courtyard with washing line, outdoor setting, bbq
Location
- quiet street just off Darling Street
- very close walk to Bus, Thames Street Ferry Wharf, 1km to Balmain East Ferry Wharf
- some of the best pubs and cafes in Balmain are just a stones throw away
- unrestricted, on-street parking. You will very rarely will need to walk any more than 100m to your door.
- great for anyone working in the city (ferry or 15 min bus from the top of the street to work, you're amongst the first to get on the bus too so there's always a seat) or North Sydney (easy ferry to work)
The rest
We keep the place tidy, we clean as we go - no dishes left in the sink etc. The common areas are fully furnished but if you have any household items you'd like to bring along we are open to upgrades. Meals - we do our own thing, but occasionally share a meal or takeaway. We have a large fully-equipped kitchen with ample storage. There's enough space for your own pots + pans and a bar fridge if you're a vego or vegan who wants to keep things separate.

Nathan - Hi I'm Nathan, 33 years old. I am a newbie to Balmain making the move from the beaches to the Inner West recently. It is great being close to the city which we can access via water along with a local surround that include amazing cafes, restaurants and bars/pubs. I work in a corporate role during the week and work in sport most weekends. I also like to keep fit running, boxing and playing competitive sport in Winter
We're both working from home at the moment, from our bedrooms so if you're not a 9-5er you won't be annoyed by Zooms all day in the living room.
We keep the house pretty tidy and are looking for a housemate who is similar.
The house and rooms are all large so we're not living on top of each other, everyone has their own quiet retreat.
We are both vaccinated, and if you're able to be, we'd prefer that you are too (or are on your way to being vaccinated).
