Our eight favourite homes for sale in NSW right now

Sweeping ocean views and perfectly preserved heritage details are the hallmarks of this week’s best properties for sale in Sydney.

8 Grice Drive, Bundanoon

We love this look for you, Bundanoon. A contemporary barn-style abode dressed in dramatic dark tones against flinty brickwork is just about picture-book perfect.

Twin peaked roofs linked by a recessed entry clad in brick is a brawny beginning, but once inside, that engaging external moodiness of 8 Grice Drive turns into a glow.

“This is an absolutely beautiful home,” says Highland’s Paul Macefield. “Lots of privacy, but full of light with high-quality finishes. Stunning.”

Lofty ceilings and an abundance of fabulous, large picture windows set the scene, illuminating the appealingly fresh vibe here. White walls and handsome pale timbers are the stylish core overlaid with excellent elevating accents – luminous stone, brass tapware and underfloor bathroom heating in the opulent main-bedroom suite.

The clever upstairs – two beds, bath and living room – means you’re spoilt for space, or you can just as easily camp on the glorious ground floor – there’s another bedroom (with an en suite) down here too.

Outside, decking and a courtyard roll into a superbly landscaped garden with views across the adjacent nature reserve.

Macefield says Bundanoon is community-focused and friendly. Country cordiality and a sharp new house. Sounds like Southern Highlands heaven.

The private sale has a guide of $2.7 million to $2.95 million.

23 Womerah Street, Turramurra

Stepping through the gates of this grand 1929 residence, it feels as though the world falls away. Designed for quiet garden moments and lively celebrations by the pool, this stately home offers a warm embrace across its many living zones. “The vendors always volunteer for Christmas and Boxing Day, host everything from 18ths to 50ths, and enjoy their family’s version of cricket and pool Olympics,” says the agent.

64 George Street, Leichhardt

Mediterranean tones meet inner-west ease in a free-standing two-storey home that feels both grounded and elevated. A towering cedar tree centres the courtyard, drawing the eye from every level and adding a quiet sense of permanence to the layout. “It bridges the natural and the modern – softens the architecture and introduces a sense of calm – making the home feel like more than a new build,” notes the agent.

68 Wigram Road, Glebe

Set high and quietly back from the street, this 1890s residence opens to a world of space and grace in the heart of Glebe – a tightly held market where homes of this calibre are rarely offered. Generous proportions and heritage charm flow into a leafy backyard retreat. “The current owners have used the garden for everything from casual lunches to big family celebrations – it’s a true outdoor haven,” says the agent.

5-15 Dunning Avenue, Rosebery

Tucked within one of Sydney’s most creatively reborn suburbs, Stanton Place offers a collection of terraces, apartments and two-storey sky homes that bring a sense of calm to the city fringe – from morning coffee on the balcony to evenings in the landscaped garden. “Each residence has its own character and outdoor space plus access to a resident-only garden with native trees, communal lawns and barbecues,” says the agent.

16 The Circle, Bilgola Plateau

Perched high in the Northern Beaches, this architect-designed home orbits around the view – sunset drinks on the wraparound deck, light dancing through floor-to-ceiling glass – while clean lines and soaring ceilings create a sense of calm. “Guests naturally drift from the designer kitchen’s sculptural island bench to the al fresco zones immersed in a setting that’s refined, relaxed and blissfully private,” says the agent.

106a Beattie Street, Balmain

Inside the former Softwood Mill, this freestanding home captures a raw industrial past and a bold contemporary future across three striking levels. Reclaimed ironbark floors, salvaged bricks, and exposed beams set the tone for its unique character. “The entry level is dedicated to living and entertaining, centred around the monolithic black granite island in the kitchen that serves as a gravitational point for family and friends to gather,” says the agent.

22/73 Evans Street, Freshwater

High above Freshwater’s golden curve, this executive-style apartment framing the coast from every room calls to downsizers or weekenders chasing a beachside base. A short stroll leads directly to the sand, while inside, an open-plan living space invites laid-back entertaining with a backdrop of rolling waves. “You’ll never want to leave home – there’s direct beach access and even the chance to whale-watch from your lounge,” says the agent.
