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

8 Close Street, South Coogee

Let’s get this out there right up front – according to Highland agent Edward Reid, people inspecting this radiant, glassy wonder at 8 Close Street, South Coogee, say it is “one of the best houses they’ve ever seen”.

You can understand their enthusiasm; this is an expansive place where the windows are filled with blue-water views and a recent renovation is first-class. Marble accents, a striking stone hearth and a splendid, airy flow are just some of the big-ticket items.

There’s something to see almost everywhere here, whether it’s that gorgeous water vista or the sublime elevated family room, drenched in sunlight, looking like a dream.

On the entry level, five bedrooms complement the comprehensive amenity, the main with a superb marble en suite and pillowtop views of the blue. While the broad, generous sea-facing balconies are heartbreakingly fine, the rear entertaining area, garden and pool are no slouches.

To the rear of that brilliant family room you’ll find another paved terrace wrapping around two sides. Down below is a great green grassy yard and, up above, seemingly floating over everything, is the saltwater pool. Absolutely divine.

“Light, position, size and style; this is a serious home,” Reid says.

1A Headland Road, North Curl Curl

From its privileged oceanfront location, this architect-designed residence forges a distinctive connection with nature, showcasing the tranquil seascape across four cascading levels. “The home masterfully blends indoor-outdoor living, envisioned as a sustainable and modernist entertainer’s haven,” the agent details. “A series of decks, terraces and balconies embrace the fresh sea breeze, all leading to the sparkling edge of the pool.”

39 Rosebery Road, Killara

Space and luxury define this magnificent home, situated on a 1689-square-metre block and unfolding over 450 square metres of internal space, enhanced by a brand-new extension. “The graceful foyer introduces the elegant and refined interiors, featuring a grand living zone with soaring ceilings and a splendid marble kitchen,” the agent says. “Full-height stacker doors open to a hardwood deck, pool, cabana and level lawns.”

482 Barrenjoey Road, Avalon Beach

Designed as a modern and luxurious interpretation of a traditional beach house, this Gartner Trovato masterpiece maximises its ocean views, which stretch from Bilgola Beach to North Head. “The main living area showcases breathtaking sunrises and sunsets,” the agent says. “At night, the illuminated headlands and Bilgola rockpool enhance the vista; on special occasions, fireworks sparkle along the coastline down to the city.”

35 Bayview Avenue, Earlwood

This iconic landmark, nicknamed The Spaceship House, is as unique as it is cherished, and comes to market for the first time in 40 years. “The vendors were captivated by its distinctive circular architecture when they moved in, finding it both futuristic and timeless,” the agent says. “The expansive terrace has served as a sanctuary, a perfect spot for watching countless sunsets and city lights twinkling like stars on the horizon.”

46 Brays Road, Concord

Brand new and exquisitely bespoke, this family residence is defined by luxurious materials and high-end finishes. “Its intentionally raw exterior features recycled brick and dark standing-seam aluminium cladding and a dark, moody finish on its solid timber entry door,” the agent says. “Inside, a glamorous architectural aesthetic unfolds with exposed steel beams, a stunning marble kitchen, and a curved glass wall overlooking the pool.”
