G01/147 Kurraba Road, Kurraba Point

Imagine having a front-row seat to one of the most beautiful cities on the planet with the blue harbour, the iconic bridge and the luminous Opera House as your everyday backdrop. Welcome to the jaw-dropping splendour of 01/147 Kurraba Road, Kurraba Point.

The ground-floor apartment is in the gorgeous Kurraba Residences right on the edge of the water. This is a superb, textured, red-brick rendering of those quintessential art deco-era harbourside blocks – elegant, composed but now brimming with new millennium design energy.

We asked agent Adam Rizk what it’s like when you first step inside. “You walk down from the foyer to the main bedroom and straight towards the Harbour Bridge. It’s just breathtaking.” Good answer.

While you could spend most of your time gazing out at the inspired view beyond the sublime curved walls of sliding glass, the interiors here are brilliant, too. Broad spaces, with lofty ceilings and light to illuminate the sophisticated fit-out – stone kitchen and bathrooms, handsome cabinetry and a comprehensive appliance array.

Then there’s the framing greenery. “Apart from the location of course, the garden is the best thing,” says Rizk. “It’s like your own little domain.” Lucky you. The expressions-of-interest campaign has a guide of $15 million-$16.5 million.

69 Florida Road, Palm Beach

Designed for easy holiday living, Salt is an architect-designed family retreat with uninterrupted views that stretch endlessly to the horizon. “Each room frames spectacular vistas of the beach, lighthouse and rockpool, with complete privacy thanks to its elevated headland position,” the agent says. “The main lounge, anchored by a sandstone fireplace, flows into the entertainer’s kitchen – never without a view.”

23 Barr Street, Balmain

It’s not your typical warehouse. Creativity flourishes in this remarkable 29-metre-fronted residence, with double-height ceilings, striking sawtooth roofline and vast steel-framed windows. “For over 40 years, it’s been the home, studio and gallery of renowned artist Sandra Leveson, who transformed the space into her personal live-work-play haven,” the agent says. “Highlights include the mezzanine dining room and a sun-drenched rooftop pool and terrace.”

5 Gillies Avenue, Haberfield

This exquisite Federation home seamlessly merges its grand heritage proportions with a contemporary renovation and rear extension, brought to life by Brett Mickan’s impeccable design. “The formal lounge, with its tall, ornate ceilings and marble fireplace, exudes timeless elegance,” the agent says. “Expansive sliding glass doors reveal al fresco spaces, where a heated pool and resort-style garden create a luxurious setting for entertaining.”

16 Grevillea Avenue, St Ives

Perched on the high side of the street, this double-storey home has had a complete renovation and exudes modern elegance in a peaceful, family-friendly enclave. “The use of Italian tiles enhances the home’s sophisticated charm, while the toned kitchen brings warmth and harmony to the space,” says the seller, Shabnam Talebi. “I love the rear pool area with its water feature and spa creating a tranquil retreat.”

42 Ross Street, Forest Lodge 

Before the vendors moved into mixed-use Ascot House, the downstairs shopfront housed a newsagency in a row of local stores. For 23 years, they’ve run their own business here, selling salvaged pieces through ever-changing displays. “Their most favourite part of the home, aside from the two decorative ceilings upstairs, is the calm rear courtyard,” the agent says. “They say being out there, surrounded by greenery and birdsong, is a rare pleasure in the city.”
