Thirteen of the best homes for sale in New South Wales

By Pauline Morrissey and Lou Sweeney

Looking for your next home within NSW? We’ve got you covered.

15 Edith Street, St Peters

There’s plenty to admire about this brand-new build at 15 Edith Street, St Peters, but we really like how well the design responds to its locale.

St Peters seems perfect for such a clever house, conceived with sustainability at the forefront, while sharp-looking, industrial-inspired interiors make it hum with contemporary energy.

Highland’s Bryan Mahlberg says it’s the second of its kind by the same builder, who has more homes with a similar forward-thinking ethos on the books. There’s definitely an appetite for housing that’s cool as well as conscious here in the inner west.

“It’s a thoughtful, quality design,” says Mahlberg. “It’s got a really nice combo of finishes, textures and colours. Super chic.”

In addition to the water tank, solar array and car-charging capability, there are also commercial-grade windows to enhance temperature regulation.

So smart, yes, but also smooth. Polished concrete floors are heated, exposed brick walls bring earthy colour, and the natural stone used throughout is elegant and elevating.

Split levels in the communal areas provide excellent delineation, flowing out to the garden and al fresco area via black-framed stacker doors.

8 Paradise Avenue, Avalon Beach

Exuding relaxed vibes, this classic coastal beach house beautifully complements its deep waterfront setting, appealing to water enthusiasts who appreciate a touch of luxury. “Water views grace every room, and first-class boating facilities complement the large decks, making it an entertainer’s dream,” notes the agent. “The owners cherish picnics by the boathouse, overlooking the jetty at sunset as boats drift by.“

37 Karloo Parade, Newport

A modern gem with uninterrupted views of Bungan Beach and the headlands, this oceanfront property boasts direct access to the sand via the reserve in front. “The living room, enhanced by a skylight, bathes in sunshine and offers mesmerising views,” the agent explains. “Originally designed for extended family living, it features a separate downstairs space, easily adaptable into separate living quarters.”

1001/18 Loftus Street, Sydney

Suspended at the perfect height to capture sublime views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, this sub-penthouse apartment resides in the heart of the revitalised Circular Quay precinct. “Bespoke design by award-winning architect Silvester Fuller flaunts superior craftsmanship and high-end finishes,” the agent notes. “Highlights include a designer kitchen island, a north-facing entertainment terrace, and balconies for all bedrooms.”

7 Baroona Road, Church Point

Nearly every room in this newly renovated home boasts stunning Pittwater views, enhanced by an oversized balcony equipped with a retractable roof for optimal enjoyment. “Expansive windows wrap the home across three spacious levels, flooding its open-plan spaces with sunlight and promoting an indoor-outdoor flow,” says the agent. “Its cul-de-sac setting is one of Church Point’s finest and most tightly held addresses.”

86 Stella Street, Collaroy Plateau

If heaven resembled a house, it might mirror The Stella House, a newly completed residence with crisp white interiors illuminated by natural light. “The open-plan living area is defined by a 4.5-metre vaulted cathedral ceiling, spilling out to a covered balcony with ocean, lake, and hinterland views,” the agent says. “A unique splashback window in the kitchen frames vistas from Narrabeen Lake up towards the Central Coast.”

101 Stanmore Road, Stanmore

Revived by a comprehensive architectural redesign, this Victorian home now stands utterly unique. “A new northern wing pavilion, which includes the kitchen, family room, and dining area, transforms into a breezeway integrated with the garden when the glass doors are folded away,” the agent explains. “The vendors, Alex and Margaret, partners in this project and accomplished architects, have custom-created and designed all the furniture in the property themselves.”

106 Alcorn Street, Suffolk Park

One glance at this Davis Architects-designed oasis of calm reveals why it was featured in Vogue. “The home reflects Byron’s coastal aesthetic, featuring a neutral palette of natural stone and timber, enhanced by lofty three-metre ceilings,” the agent says. “Noteworthy spaces include a contemporary kitchen with American oak veneer cabinets and travertine bench tops, plus an inviting al fresco terrace and pool.”

10 Blackheath Street, Leura

Resting peacefully within grounds designed by renowned landscape gardener Paul Sorensen, Redleaf is a c1912 homestead masterfully transformed in 2023 by Blue Mountains architect Diego Villar. “Behind the charming facade lies a deceptively spacious interior,” the agent says. “The north-facing lounge and sunroom are highlighted by three-metre-high ceilings and captivating garden views.”

915 Bells Line of Road, Kurrajong Hills

Burnside stands as a grand country estate set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Blue Mountains, with manicured gardens and lush lawns adorned with a gazebo. “The formal living area centres around a striking fireplace, enriched by French doors leading to a wraparound sandstone verandah capturing spectacular views,” the agent says. “Separately, a charming ranch-style second home adds to the estate’s versatility.”

11 Citriadora Drive, Ewingsdale

Set on nearly 8,000 square metres, this peaceful property, minutes from Byron Bay, blends rural respite with coastal charm, acquired in 2021 by entrepreneur Emma Isaacs. “It has Tuscan-like elements, with stunning views and a feeling reminiscent of a European summer,” the agent says. “With DA approval already in place for a larger home, it offers incredible potential for expansion or enjoyment as a luxurious retreat.”

77B Nerringillah Road, Bendalong

It’s only fitting that at Mirambeena – a designer home surrounded by the Conjola National Park – almost every room offers views of a garden cultivated for over 30 years by its owners. “It has been a fixture in Australia’s Open Garden Scheme, inspired by Edna Walling’s designs, featuring a 140-year-old fig tree, dry stone walls, lily ponds, and an orchard,” the agent says. “The owners’ favourite spot is a timber bench in the garden overlooking the ocean.”

990 Jamberoo Mountain Road, Jamberoo

Over its 30-year history, this entirely off-grid home has evolved in perfect harmony with its natural setting, immersed in the Illawarra escarpment. “Originally built with reclaimed cedar and antique glass, subsequent extensions expanded its living space while soaring, raked ceilings and carefully placed windows added character,” the agent says. “Each room captures views of native gardens and trees, including the self-contained studio – an artist’s dream.
