8/1 Rosebery Place, Balmain NSW 2041

Ground floor garden apartment | Parkside in Balmain | Rare complex amenities | 2 bed 2 bath with courtyard This apartment occupies a genuinely uncommon position in Balmain,a ground-floor garden unit with its own private courtyard and direct parkland outlook, within a complex that offers heated indoor pool, gym, spa and sauna. For buyers who value private outdoor space and resort-style amenities without a freestanding house price, this configuration is competitively strong. The open-plan layout flows seamlessly to the courtyard, making the 124 square metres feel generous, and the secure basement parking with storage cage adds practical weight. It serves best for downsizers seeking low-maintenance living with amenity, or professionals wanting a lock-and-leave base close to the CBD. The flood and heritage overlay discrepancy between sources is a risk that must be resolved before exchange,it could affect insurance costs and future renovation scope. Strata at $1,853 per quarter is moderate for a complex with pool and gym, but the 1977 square metre lot means capital works levies are possible. The 2012 purchase price of $675,000 versus current estimates around $1.4 million shows strong long-term capital growth, but the market has softened since early 2026. Hold this property as a permanent residence or pied-à-terre; its combination of private garden, amenities and location will hold demand better than most apartments in the precinct.
