Our favourite homes for sale in Sydney right now

By Pauline Morrissey and Lou Sweeney

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

3 Yerton Avenue, Hunters Hill

If you stood out the back facing this Hunters Hill villa, you might think you’ve up and landed in Tuscany, such is its classic warm tone and superb arched loggia. Spin on your heel, though, and the absolute waterfront location of 3 Yerton Avenue tells the real, exclusive tale.

McGrath’s Tracey Dixon says punters appreciate its singular vibe. “It’s a bit different, and that’s what people like about it, that Mediterranean style.”

There’s a breezy feel to these places, an ease that evokes the sensory pleasures of warm stone on bare feet and balmy zephyrs ruffling hair.

The house itself is in good order – a lofty timber-lined ceiling, stone walls, and fireplace combine to create a fine central living area with views across that expansive covered terrace to the water.

Accommodations are generous, too. Four spacious bedrooms, as well as a self-contained studio, provide ample room to spread out.

You’d scarcely be off that sublime terrace or away from the splendid gardens, though, when a fine entertaining area leads you down to broad lawns and on to the lovely pool tracking alongside the water. A slipway, boat storage and jetty complete the Mediterranean magnificence.

The November 23 auction price guide is $13 million.

164 & 166 Hastings Parade, North Bondi

Resting on the renowned Ben Buckler sea cliffs, this rare block boasts two titles with never-to-be-built-out views and a sun-soaked north-easterly aspect. “The oceanfront site has DA-approved plans for a stunning architect-designed trophy home, or the option exists to purchase each title individually,” the agent says. “Just moments from Bondi’s surf and lively beach village, it’s a perfect canvas for a coastal masterpiece.”

1/73 Yarranabbe Road, Darling Point

Defined by house-like proportions and luxurious spaces, this remarkable apartment spills onto a terrace and gently sloping lawn that reaches toward the shimmering harbour’s edge. “Open-plan interiors framed by floor-to-ceiling bifolds embrace the waterfront’s allure,” the agent says. “With a north-facing position, access to a private residents’ pool, and a secluded boat entry, this home grants the finest of Darling Point living.”

‘Sail’ 61 Gurney Crescent, Seaforth

Cascading over the westernmost point of Seaforth Bluff, Sail is the epitome of waterfront luxury, with views of spectacular sunsets over Middle Harbour. “Conceived by architect Craig Shelsher, this four-level residence harmonises fine craftsmanship with the natural landscape,” the agent says. “With direct access to a sandy beach, Pickering Point Baths, and a new public jetty with boat access, it’s the ultimate retreat for those who relish the outdoors.”

42 Nelson Road, Lindfield

Spanning 2214 square metres across two titles, the landmark 1913 Fieldhead estate invites a life of leisure amid landscaped gardens, sprawling lawns and a full-sized tennis court. “The hand-carved sandstone double-arch facade leads to interiors of soaring ceilings, cedar panelling and exquisite leadlight windows,” the agent says. “DA-approved plans by Smart Design Studio could elevate this estate into one of the North Shore’s most coveted residences.”

20 Hillcrest Avenue, Mona Vale

Rising over Mona Vale Headland, this 1960s mid-century-style beach house has been sensitively revitalised with warm marble and timber touches, framing perhaps one of Sydney’s most spectacular views. “Every day, the vendors dive into the infinity pool and venture to the beach,” the agent says. “They’ll miss sunset cocktails in the spa and watching the golden glow of sunrise wash over the timber deck and sandstone accents.”

7/40 East Esplanade, Manly

Moments from Manly’s lively surf and cafe scene, this penthouse sits quietly above the bustle atop a boutique building of nine, positioned perfectly for easy city commutes directly across from Manly Wharf. “The vast terrace is made for al fresco entertaining, with stunning Mediterranean-inspired views of the harbour,” the agent says. “Inside, the generous glass-framed living area continues to capture those captivating vistas.”

1/25 Wolseley Road, Point Piper

Like a Swiss Army knife, this apartment is expertly designed to maximise every millimetre – effortlessly shifting from weekday functionality to weekend entertaining. “Smart features like sliding walls, fold-down tables and integrated lighting allow for flexible reconfiguration,” the agent says. “The private entrance, north-facing outdoor area, and Harbour Bridge panoramas make it a rare find in this exclusive enclave.”
