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

10 Waratah Road, Palm Beach NSW

There are beach houses, and then there is 10 Waratah Road, Palm Beach. If you can imagine a more winsome, warm cottage sitting right on the beautiful blue, good luck to you.

Built in the late 1940s, LJ Hooker’s David Edwards says walking into the house is like “stepping back in time.”

The beauty here is in that appealing simplicity. Light, airy spaces face the water with a flat-out stunner of a sunroom that’s the very evocation of breezy summers past.

There are plenty of contemporary additions, too, and bifold glass from the living room onto the covered deck is a game-changer for access to the stunning surroundings.

Then, there is the sublime stretch of lawn that edges the briny. “They don’t make them like this any more. A level, grassy block right down to the waterfront. Impossible to find,” says Edwards.

So, too, the rare views. Across Pittwater is all national park, so there’s hardly another structure to be spotted. It’s green on blue as far as the eye can see. Surf beach and golf course are a stroll away, too.

Approved plans by architect Walter Barda are in place should you choose to convert this characterful cottage into your absolute waterfront castle. The expressions-of-interest campaign carries a $15 million guide.

87 Moncur Street, Woollahra NSW

Infused with the artistry of visionary Arent & Pyke, Amarelo House elevates Victorian elegance beyond its rare seven-metre-wide frontage. “Classic details, such as marble fireplaces and original floorboards, blend gracefully with contemporary elements like a terrazzo-tiled kitchen wrapped in de Gournay wallpaper,” notes the agent. “Bifold doors connect to a sunny loggia and lush courtyard, while a self-contained lower-level studio encourages flexibility.”

152 Hargrave Street, Paddington NSW

Even amid Paddington’s enchanting heritage streetscape, this grand 1890s terrace commands attention with its wide frontage and refined revival. “The generous width and layout create multiple living and dining zones – a rare luxury for the area,” says the agent. “Modern touches, such as herringbone floors, bespoke cabinetry and banquette seating, and bifold doors opening to a north-east-facing courtyard, elevate its timeless charm.”

7 Spicer Lane, Woollahra NSW

A storied past defines Avondale, a c1870 cottage once home to Mr Thomas, a stonemason who contributed to landmarks like the Centennial Park Gates. “It’s the sole survivor of four free-standing stonemason cottages on Spicer Lane, spared in 1969 to make way for Pat Thompson Park,” says the agent. “Sympathetically updated, spaces like the sunlit living room feature French doors that open to fragrant lavender, crepe myrtle, and frangipani gardens.”

5 Midelton Avenue, North Bondi NSW

Clean lines, vaulted ceilings, and a muted palette define this thoughtfully designed family retreat, where bespoke finishes and high-end fittings provide barefoot luxury across two levels. “From its striking facade to the deluxe main suite and sunlit garden with a pool, this home is tailored for family living,” says the agent. “Set on a peaceful street, it offers a serene lifestyle just minutes from Bondi Beach.”

5 McCarrs Creek Road, Church Point NSW

Spanning two self-contained levels, each with two bedrooms, Grandview is a versatile retreat set on a sprawling block with a prized north aspect and dual access from Quarter Sessions Road. “With French doors, wide verandahs, and decks, the home embraces spectacular views over Pittwater and the national park,” says the agent. “There’s also scope to build a secondary dwelling, perfectly placed to capture bay views.”

Custom built by its current owners, this full-brick home in the leafy heart of “Erko” spans three spacious, light-filled levels. “Wrapped in balconies and opening to a lush garden, the home features a lofty top-floor retreat for ultimate privacy,” says the agent. “A striking double-height atrium with an auto-retractable awning bathes the interiors in sunlight, while a two-way Jetmaster fireplace anchors expansive living and dining areas.”

114a Denison Road, Dulwich Hill NSW

Reimagining Victorian terrace style, this free-standing home captivates with its six-metre wide frontage, merging classic ironwork balustrades with modern timber panelling. “Seamless indoor-outdoor entertaining spaces and separate living zones across both levels highlight its refined design,” says the agent. “A refined kitchen with a five-metre stone island, a courtyard with a water feature, and a master suite with a luxurious walk-in robe further elevate its appeal.”

33 South Pacific Crescent, Ulladulla NSW

Commanding nearly five hectares of prime beachfront, this coastal retreat offers sweeping views from Racecourse Beach to Brush Island. “A lush garden atrium and expansive open-plan living area, with raked ceilings and glass walls, create a light-filled sanctuary,” the agent says. “Outdoor spaces, including the deck and poolside patio, capture the stunning landscape, while a self-contained guest wing with multiple bedrooms adds privacy and flexibility.”

204 Tooheys Mill Road, Nashua NSW

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Byron Shire’s hinterland, this private estate is a masterclass in refined romance. “The richly detailed weatherboard homestead reveals multiple living zones, a chef’s kitchen, and a luxurious master suite,” the agent says. “Wraparound verandahs, a vine-covered dining pergola, a resort-style pool with pool house, a self-contained guest retreat and access to Skinners Creek complete this idyllic picture.”

711 Federal Drive, Federal NSW

Tucked away in the Byron hinterland, Whimsy Farm spans 16 hectares of natural beauty, hiding a period home crafted for multigenerational living. “For entertainers, outdoor spaces abound – from sculpted gardens and a custom maze to a solar-heated swimming pool and an all-weather gazebo,” the agent says. “Equestrians will love the paddocks, stables, tack room, feed store and Olympic-sized dressage arena.”

9 Sale Street, Orange NSW

This Edwardian home exudes Parisian chic with high ceilings, original fireplaces, French doors and large windows on a leafy, spacious parcel in Orange’s prestigious dress circle. “The grand proportions include formal and informal living areas flowing to north-facing outdoor spaces and beautifully vibrant gardens,” the agent says. “A big bonus is the internal, heated swim spa, ideal for the kids or grandkids to enjoy.”

143 Riverview Avenue, Dangar Island NSW

In harmony with Dangar Island’s serene lifestyle, this architect-designed retreat is a haven amid parkland, beaches and sweeping views of the Hawkesbury River. “Designed with a treehouse-like appeal, the home features walls of glass that frame the river’s ever-changing beauty,” the agent says. “With a large breezeway deck, a modern kitchen and a separate two-bedroom guest cabin, it’s perfect for hosting and entertaining.”
