Looking for your next home within New South Wales? We’ve got you covered.

12 Princes Street, McMahons Point

When we tell you this semi-detached cottage is period pretty, has European village vibes and a thoroughly contemporary renovation, we haven’t lost our mind – 12 Princes Street in McMahon’s Point is all those things and more.

A sweet facade includes lovely lacework and glowing leadlight windows. Inside, it’s positively luminous.

“It’s unlike most semi-terraces, which can be dim,” says Stone’s Aaron Bongiorno. ”There’s a heap of light. Velux skylights throughout and a north-facing rear.”

Two handsome bedrooms and a striking bathroom precede the lovely living room; the pinky hues of its marble fireplace a splendid focal point. Out in the smooth kitchen-dining area, the renovation lifts the roof, literally, to an impressive 4.4 metres. A high window above sliding doors draws even more light.

We love the backyard here – smart landscaping creates something attractive and appealingly different. Two paved areas are split by the brilliant ochre gravel courtyard. A pair of towering trees sit sentry on either side. You could get out the bocce set and imagine you are in a far-off European village. Really. Up on the rear, elevated terrace views of Barangaroo bring you home.

“Very pretty. Very beautifully done,” says Bongiorno.

From this luxury haven wrapped by galleries of glass doors, days can begin with views of Sydney’s iconic skyline and Harbour Bridge.

“Even the al fresco entertainers’ terrace displays unique parquetry stone, contributing to its seamless indoor-outdoor fusion.”

14 Woodland Street, Coogee

This luxury family home’s present owner was a high-end architect, and it shows in the meticulous construction, considered sustainable design and ultra-modern atmosphere.

“As you enter through the double doors, you’re greeted by skylights illuminating the path ahead,” the agent says.

“The north-facing living room, which opens to the al fresco area, embraces the beauty of the surrounding garden through oversized window walls.”

36 Albert Road, Avalon Beach

This splendid weatherboard home, originally a dairy cottage in the 1900s, has now been transformed into a coastal retreat with soaring raked ceilings, oak floors and a floor-to-ceiling limestone fireplace.

“The heart of the home is the kitchen with a large butler’s pantry,” the agent says. “There’s also an outdoor kitchen on the enormous deck, where the owners have spent many afternoons entertaining friends and family.

“The house has a generous internal space of approximately 454 square metres, plus verandahs, while the grounds are adorned with lush gardens, mature trees, and a full-size lawn tennis court.”

22 Benjamin Road, Mount Kembla

This architect-designed residence exudes an understated elegance where nature’s allure reigns supreme.

“The home’s northerly aspect means it’s constantly filled with natural light, with terrazzo tiled floors transitioning from the indoors to the covered alfresco area, like an extension of the living space,” says the agent. “It feels far away from busy life, yet it’s only a 10-minute drive from the Wollongong CBD.”

8 Bower Street, Brunswick Heads

The brick exterior of this mid-century gem pays homage to its classic origins with breeze blocks, a slate porch, and wrought iron railings. Inside, a modern passive solar design sees louvres and clerestory windows delight in the soft caress of the breeze.

“Our neighbours talk about the community of families that built their homes in Bower Street in the late 1960s; no fences, children playing in the street, fishing and swimming in the river, just easy and idyllic,” says the seller, Renee Gordos. “Not much has changed – except the fences.”
