Looking for your next home in Sydney? We’ve got you covered.
19 Coolawin Road, Northbridge
The genius of 19 Coolawin Road, Northbridge, is that despite its undoubted blue-chip locale and brilliant interiors, it never once takes its waterfront site for granted. The simple, stylish concrete form is designed to sit as lightly as possible in its sparkling lower north shore environs.
Only when you open the front door to the spectacular “sky bridge”, do you find you are, in fact, not in a single-level home, but in four levels of finely configured luxury. Design meets landscape here with incredible results – vast, airy voids anchored by lush surrounding gardens, the central open stair a focal point filtering light throughout.
“A beautiful view framed by the most amazing architecture,” says Forbes Global Properties’ Ken Jacobs. There’s room here for both grandeur and garden-variety living – quite literally – with epic glassy areas drawing in the subtropical splendour.
On the lower levels, it’s about bringing the tribe together – games room, wet bar, gym and further afield, surrounded by lovely terraces, is the splendid swimming pool. Then, you can wander through the gorgeous green to your deep-water jetty. Magic. “Brand new architect-designed homes are very rare in Northbridge,” Jacobs says.
206/147 Kurraba Road, Kurraba Point
Gazing out over Sydney’s illustrious harbour, this brand-new apartment within Kurraba Residences flaunts sleek design and sophisticated beauty.
“The architectural brilliance nods to classic 1920s apartment buildings, embraced by foreshore gardens on all three sides,” the agent says. “It’s in such a unique location that grants front-row seats to the harbour while offering the relaxed lifestyle of Kurraba Point and its picturesque reserve.”
70 Manning Road, Double Bay
Behind its classic facade, this residence unravels into an architectural triumph of modernist design, with a north-facing tropical garden oasis as its soul.
“The use of double-storey glass panels, with louvred windows, fosters a connection to nature, casting light and rainbows across the entire house,” says the seller, Eva Maher. “From the master bedroom’s balcony, one can find a serene spot to revel in the garden views below.”
25 West Street, Balgowlah
Majestically perched atop a commanding hill, this grand colonial relic of the 1900s boasts exquisite craftsmanship and sweeping views of North Harbour.
“For the first time in over 50 years, this impeccably maintained two-story home comes to the market, brimming with incredible potential,” the agent says. “It radiates a timeless elegance, with living spaces that spill out onto a view-swept terrace.”
3 Amarna Parade, Roseville
Tucked in a peaceful postcode loved for its storybook homes, this enchanting two-story residence blends its 1930s cottage allure with modern enhancements.
“The home has evolved with thoughtful additions like skylights and an upstairs teen retreat,” the agent says. “A particularly cherished space is the front bedroom, with its quaint Juliet balcony presenting serene views of the front yard and lush bush beyond.”
5 Lancelot Street, Five Dock
Inspired by Hamptons elegance, this family sanctuary flourishes with its contemporary layout, ensuring a life where indoor comfort and outdoor leisure blend effortlessly.
“This home is optimally designed for intimate family life and entertaining,” the agent says. “The rear garden, with its pool and lawn, is a favourite spot for hosting friends and family, particularly when the neighbouring jacaranda tree is in bloom.”
