Looking for your next home within Sydney? We’ve got you covered.
12 & 12a Grafton Street, Balmain East
Standing proudly in the heart of Balmain’s vibrant village are these two side-by-side terraces, each brimming with timeless character and incredible potential. “Both homes feature high decorative ceilings, polished timber floors, and gourmet gas kitchens,” says the agent. “French doors lead to entertainers’ terraces, while the rooftop garden boasts an extraordinary vantage point of the city skyline, Harbour Bridge, and Anzac Bridge.”
20/33 Milson Road, Cremorne Point
Commanding the top floor of a beautiful Federation block, this remarkable penthouse epitomises elegance on one of the lower north shore’s finest streets. “Featuring high ceilings, decorative details, and a sweeping layout, it blends space and sophistication,” says the agent. “Three undercover balconies boast breathtaking views, and the left balcony, dubbed the ‘G&T spot,’ offers sunset vistas of the Harbour Bridge, Opera House, and city skyline.”
615/50 Macleay Street, Potts Point
An entertainer’s dream, this luxurious single-level apartment offers resort-style living within The Rex, an iconic building reimagined by BKH architects. “Afternoons are best spent in the sunroom or lounging on the terrace with a book,” says the agent. “Seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor spaces, the expansive deck is perfect for hosting up to 50 guests, with sweeping views of the CBD and Potts Point setting the scene.”
23 Amiens Road, Clontarf
In Clontarf, few properties offer both harbour views and a level backyard, but this resort-like hideaway does just that. “The vendors enjoy afternoon drinks with friends on the balcony overlooking Middle Harbour while their older kids set up camp upstairs and the younger ones run wild in the level garden and swimming pool,” says the agent. “It’s the perfect setup for family time, but with plenty of space for everyone to find their own spot.”
89 Riverview Road, Avalon Beach
Evenings watching sailboats glide across Pittwater and sunsets paint the sky are a daily joy at this sandstone and weatherboard cottage, set amid scenic decks, terraces, and lush gardens. “With jarrah floorboards, a grand sandstone fireplace, and a wood-burning stove, the home exudes timeless appeal,” says the agent. “The meditation room is a peaceful retreat, with the sound of native birds and water lapping at Paradise Beach below.”
48 Day Street, Drummoyne
Rich in character at the front and boasting a light-filled contemporary extension at the back, this double-fronted home offers an enviable lifestyle within striking distance of The Bay Run and Birkenhead Point. “The back living room, with its double-height ceilings and north-facing aspect, is my favourite spot,” says the seller, Gayle Stone. “It’s so spacious and sunny, with bifolds to the al fresco patio, making it ideal for entertaining friends.”
90 Riverview Avenue, Dangar Island
Friends and family visiting this island waterfront home often come for lunch and stay well into the evening, especially when the fire is crackling. “There’s something for everyone – whether it’s boat rides, the spa, fishing, or unwinding by the water’s edge,” says the seller, Carolyn Boyden. “I love watching the boats and steam trains from our many decks, while the teens enjoy jumping off the jetty and swimming back to the boat shed stairs.”
