91 John Street, Woollahra

If Ben Collier of The Agency hadn’t given us the tip about 91 John Street’s splendid story, we’d never have guessed.

This classic-looking two-storey Victorian terrace in Woollahra is, in fact, pretty much brand-new.

The facade and one wall have been retained, but the rest has been ingeniously, beautifully and faithfully remodelled with a nod to the past and a sophisticated eye on the future.

Gorgeous strapped ceilings and arched windows look the authentic business as they roll easily and effortlessly into the here and now. Polished concrete floors and a central courtyard garden are a stunning breath of fresh air separating the family room and media room below.

“It would have to be one of the most successful marriages of the period and the highly contemporised,” says Collier. He cites the capture of light as one of the hallmarks here. “The atrium in the kitchen has it cascading down the wall.”

The joinery is “exceptional.” Agreed. It is some of the smoothest we’ve seen for some time, particularly in the main bedroom, where it sits against the stunning burnt-orange carpet. Sublime.

From the picture-perfect lacework balcony to the handsome heft of the stunning marble en suite, this is spectacular. Collier takes the August 17 auction with a guide of over $9 million.

111 Darley Road, Manly

Crafted from the refined simplicity of a Californian bungalow blueprint, this sublime, contemporary coastal family home soars over two levels. “Downstairs, high ceilings and blackbutt flooring flow to a sunny deck and rear yard,” the agent says. “The modern design culminates at the second-floor outdoor kitchen and terrace, complete with timber-lined ceilings and majestic ocean and harbour views.”

4/18 Parriwi Road, Mosman

Offering breathtaking Middle Harbour views from its oversized roof terrace, this penthouse townhouse epitomises luxury living and elegant entertaining. “The most private of four homes in a boutique block, this townhouse unfolds over three levels connected by a private lift,” the agent says. “Evoking a sense of being suspended above the blue horizon, the al fresco expanse stands as the pinnacle of outdoor living.”

62 Griffiths Street, Fairlight

Setting new benchmarks in contemporary coastal design and luxury living, this brand-new residence by Watershed Architects is exceptional in every detail. “Rising over multiple split levels, the hero room is a sweeping, open-plan living and dining space with towering 3.2-metre ceilings,” the agent says. “Design features include a deluxe island kitchen with butler’s pantry, and an indulgent main-bedroom suite with a north balcony.”

16 Point Street, Lilyfield

It’s a hop, skip and jump to Orange Grove Public School from this split-level home designed by SRH Architecture. The central living room comes with bespoke cabinetry and a study nook and overlooks a plunge pool, while the bright, eat-in kitchen opens to a landscaped back garden with a timber deck and built-in barbecue.

35 May Road, Dee Why

Designed by Playoust Churcher Architects, this stunning steel-framed home comprises three floating pavilions elegantly positioned on natural rock platforms. “The structure is connected by glass stairwells, enhancing the views and flooding the space with natural light,” the agent says. “A peaceful elevated deck offers an ideal vantage point to soak in the natural landscape, contrasted against the home’s industrial aesthetic.”

1/101 Beach Street, Coogee

Transformed by a meticulous renovation, this remarkable art deco apartment retains its heritage charm amid a creative rejuvenation. “Imagine breakfasts in the uniquely spacious dining and kitchen area with the easterly morning sun streaming through,” the agent says. “Exquisite original details like the high ceilings with intricate moulding and hardwood floors are retained, while custom joinery and designer stone heralds a new age.”
