Eight of the best homes for sale in Sydney this weekend

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

51 Trappers Way, Avalon Beach

Take even one quick glance at gorgeous 51 Trappers Way in Avalon Beach and see if you can stop your mind’s eye from leading you straight into a reverie of dappled light glinting across lapping water.

This Peter Stutchbury-designed jewel was built in 2006, with a subsequent 2022 renovation bringing some fresh polish to its timeless shape.

“The vaulted ceiling, the trees, the light – you look through the house, through the architecture out to Pittwater. It’s luxurious,” says LJ Hooker’s Peter Robinson.

What you see is what you get here, and what you get is glorious. From the towering gums down to the sand and sea, there’s a surfeit of natural beauty.

Sometimes, you might wonder, are you inside or out? That’s the great generosity of a house like this that rises up through its environment but never seeks to dominate it – you feel a part of it.

Lines of sight are open, the movement between spaces flowing, organic.

Despite that openness, there’s fine privacy here, too, as the property is set into the ridgeline.

A splendid main bedroom sits up top, accessing the divine decks over the blue. Below are three further bedrooms and another living area.

The expressions-of-interest sale has a guide of $5 million.

2 Oswald Street, Mosman

Built in 1895, Clifton is a striking example of Federation Queen Anne architecture, where ornate pressed metal ceilings, oversized architraves and grand bedrooms leave a memorable impression. “The vendors gravitate toward the open-plan kitchen and living spaces, where doors open onto an entertaining deck overlooking the pool,” the agent says. “A newly installed slate roof is elegance personified and, most importantly, watertight.”

891 Barrenjoey Road, Palm Beach

Capturing magical sunsets and the twinkle of lights dancing on the bay by night, this Geoffrey Watson-designed waterfront sanctuary defines Palm Beach’s laid-back luxury. “It’s a grand yet deeply inviting home,” the agent says. “The living room, anchored by parquetry floors and sandstone, opens via timber-framed glass doors to waterfront decks overlooking the saltwater pool, level lawns and boathouse guest suite that complete the idyllic scene.”

1 River Street, Birchgrove

True to its name, Riverview is a beautifully reimagined c1880 fisherman’s cottage, now transformed into a captivating waterfront retreat. “Designed to embrace its breathtaking outlook, the two-storey home enjoys a sun-drenched corner block with sweeping northerly views over Cockatoo Island,” the agent says. “Anchoring the lush garden is a sparkling mineral pool with a waterfall feature, alongside a self-contained two-bedroom studio.”

14 Boromi Way, Cromer

With seemingly more glass than regular walls, this exquisitely designed home maximises its elevated position, drawing in sweeping ocean and district views. “Grand in scale yet wonderfully low maintenance, it’s a home that embraces both luxury and functionality,” the agent says. “Two offices, a home gym and multiple sleeping options cater to modern living, while an undercover heated pool blends effortlessly into the landscape.”

16B Sherwood Avenue, Yowie Bay

Set in a waterside cul-de-sac, this elegant new masterpiece enjoys a sunny north aspect and sweeping views over Yowie Bay and the city skyline. “Herringbone oak floors lead from the dining area through to the living space, where wide glass doors open onto an all-weather terrace,” the agent says. “With its northerly outlook, outdoor kitchen, bespoke pool, lounging deck and automated Vergola, it’s crafted for effortless entertaining.”

15A Griffiths Street, Fairlight

Surf and sandstone go hand in hand in this architect-reimagined terrace, befitting its glorious seaside suburb. “The dual-level design unfolds from elegant front formal rooms to a casual living-dining space adjoining an ultra-chic marble island kitchen and rear garden,” the agent says. “Stained-glass windows and exposed sandstone walls, inside and out, pay homage to its distinctive late-1800s craftsmanship and character.”

122-128 Hewlett Street, Bronte

A rare offering in the exclusive Bronte Collection, this four-bedroom luxury home sits just moments from Bronte Beach and boasts spectacular ocean views. “Expansive interiors, serviced by an internal lift, create a seamless balance of elegance, privacy and open living,” the agent says. “Completing the coastal retreat is a sunny north-facing courtyard, a pool, barbecue area and outdoor shower – perfect for post-swim refreshes.
