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

101 Lilli Pilli Point Road, Lilli Pilli NSW

We love a home that knows where it’s at, and this sparkling newcomer at 101 Lilli Pilli Point Road, Lilli Pilli, lets its spectacular seat over the Hacking River shine.

The expansive views here are gained as soon as you enter, with an elegantly restrained tonal palette – light timbers, pale quartzite and crisp white – all in sharp service of this blue-water beauty.

“These are world-class water views,” says agent Matthew Callaghan. “The brilliant north-westerly aspect gives you more time in your day to enjoy them too.”

The focal point is undoubtedly the central kitchen-living-dining area, an airy, effortlessly attractive zone that flows out to the beautiful, broad outdoor terrace.

You can imagine quietly whiling away summer nights out here, or hosting a cracking do or two with this enviable backdrop.

Step down to the pool and then down again to a grassy split-level strip that is just the place for the kids to run it out.

Upstairs, four bedrooms, a rumpus room and a stylish central bathroom share the generous space. The main bedroom has a wing-like feel and includes an office with a view and a full-length verandah taking you out into the blue.

Matt Callaghan Property handles the May 24 auction. The guide is $5 million.

16 Ilya Avenue, Bayview NSW

Set on sprawling landscaped grounds, this home is wrapped by a verandah that embraces its elevated north-east aspect, capturing views across Pittwater to Newport and beyond. “The east-facing living room, where we watch boats drift by and sunrises on the horizon, never fails to amaze,” says owner Claudia Sammut. “We were married in the garden gazebo – it’s perfect for celebrations or just relaxing and enjoying the lush lawns and flowers.”

83 Camden Street, Enmore NSW

With a grand double-fronted facade and a generous 350-square-metre footprint – rare for Newtown – this home enjoys a central position close to King Street, Sydney Park, and Marrickville Metro. “The vendors love the rear living, dining, and kitchen area, which forms the true heart of the home,” the agent said. “It’s where the family comes together each evening, filled with northern light pouring through the cathedral-style windows.”

196 Union Street, Erskineville NSW

Behind its charming cottage facade with sweet mosaic tiling, this home surprises with sleek, modern interiors. “The open-plan kitchen and living area, anchored by a generous marble island, is the vendor’s favourite space – it flows beautifully into the back courtyard, perfect for entertaining friends and family,” says the agent. “A central skylight above draws in natural light, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere throughout the day.”

10 Bogan Street, Summer Hill NSW

Owned by Dr Andrew and Rosemary Penman, this home is a peaceful inner-west sanctuary just 10 kilometres from the CBD, surrounded by trees and birdsong. “Our favourite space is the renovated kitchen with its triple stack oven and custom-designed floor-to-ceiling pantry – everything has its place,” say the vendors. “It even hosted MasterChef’s Home Cooking Challenge in 2012 and has been the setting for countless family gatherings.”

66 Irrubel Road, Newport NSW

This Newport gem weaves classic architecture with the nostalgic charm of a vintage beach house. “With painted timber floors, sash windows, and French doors, it’s a home designed to embrace the outdoors,” says the agent. “Wide verandahs capture Pittwater breezes, while the backyard’s lush lawns and gardens have hosted everything from birthday parties to long lunches, games of cricket, and joyful Easter egg hunts.”

129 Petersham Road, Marrickville NSW

Set in lively Marrickville, this full-brick home blends classic character with modern updates, all sweetened by a lush garden retreat. “The back garden has been the vendor’s sanctuary, flowing seamlessly into the sunlit deck and barbecue zone,” the agent said. “They’ve cherished days tending the veggie garden and evenings entertaining friends, enjoying the perfect balance of green space, sunlight, and relaxed living.”
