By Pauline Morrissey and Lou Sweeney

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

37 Gardyne Street, Bronte

Like the prow of a ship standing proud against the elements, the lovely level one curve of 37 Gardyne Street, Bronte, is all beautiful balance – dynamic but graceful, full of purpose but with an inherent elegance.

So too, the splendid interiors here tell the tale of a top-to-toe renovation that PPD Real Estate’s Alexander Phillips describes as “absolutely awesome.”

“It’s the light, the view, the aspect,” says Phillips. “It’s also literally a four-minute walk to the sand.”

That incredible vista of Bronte, to the beach and beyond, is undoubtedly the big-ticket item, yet the desire to turn inward here – to experience the singular splendour of the interiors – is also compelling.

There’s something of a Moorish feel in the exquisite tones and fittings – deep burgundy marble swirls against dark brushed brasses in bathrooms. Curves reappear in beautiful timber doors, built-in bookshelves and bars. You could be in a luminous kasbah – air and space highlighting superb tiling and fluted glazing. Jillian Dinkel’s interior design is inspired.

Then there’s the glorious light – this is an Australian coastal house after all – oak paneling glows, Venetian plaster surfaces shimmer, and multiple terraces catch the breeze.

26 Ashton Street, Queens Park

Held by the same family for 27 years, this cherished family home has been lovingly refreshed, flowing across two exquisite levels, with a great connection between its illuminated interiors and sun-dappled courtyard.

“The home’s bespoke interiors enhance the period features, creating a warm, contemporary home,” says the seller, Melina Yaffa.

“Better yet, it comes with a loving community sitting in what’s undoubtedly Queens Park’s best street.”

26 Wimbledon Avenue, North Narrabeen

This adored family home has been renovated to perfection, exuding street charm with a traditional cottage facade, grey boards, white trim, and a bull-nosed verandah.

“We eat nearly all of our meals outside, among the green garden, palm trees, and pool, where lots of Marco Polo games and barbecues have taken place,” says the seller, Rosie Ramage.

“We would often sneak through the back gate to the lake and watch the sunset over the water.”

8/2-2A Francis Street, Bondi Beach

Morning coffees can be savoured on the bedroom terrace while watching surfers catch early waves on Bondi Beach from this beachside retreat.

“With the beach and Hunter Sculpture Park right on its doorstep, the apartment offers the ultimate coastal lifestyle, complete with a prized private rooftop terrace, where the owners have hosted many memorable parties,” says the agent. “The living room is also great for unwinding, with the ocean as your backdrop.”

Ground floor, 11 Kellet Street, Potts Point

Brimming with style and grace, this unique ground-floor property is the design studio of the owner and acclaimed interior designer, Sarah Davison, presenting a flexible floor plan that could become an inspired residence.

“The rich heritage front rooms with jewel-coloured finishes contrast perfectly with the white studio space,” she says.

“Meanwhile, the fully equipped kitchen with stunning emperador verde marble bridges these old and new spaces.”

9/13 Church Street, Ashfield

Nestled along a tree-lined driveway, this characterful townhouse enjoys house-like proportions in a village-like setting.

“As you enter through the hedges at the front door, you’re greeted by the spacious living room that flows into the dining area, with solid timber floors and a classic staircase,” says the seller, Tony Royes. “The generously sized main bedroom has a stunning window and private balcony overlooking lush greenery.”
