McGrath’s Corie Sciberras says that’s one of the great drawcards of this expansive, two-storey home.
“Apart from everything else, the location here is great,” he says. “Permanent parklands right in front.”
Sciberras says the home’s “quality, custom-built” feel is immediately apparent. Soaring ceilings and gleaming surfaces mean light floods the spaces, particularly the impressive double-height living room.
Beyond bifold doors, a brilliant al fresco area with an outdoor kitchen leads to a heated pool and a neat, framing garden.
Perched above the coastline with magnificent views across Whale Beach, this remarkable retreat offers effortless entertaining, flowing from crisp white interiors to expansive, sunlit decks. “A meticulous redesign has transformed this home into the ultimate beachside home, with wraparound decking extending seamlessly from the main living area,” says the agent. “The self-contained lower-level suite is ideal for families or weekend escapes.”
Steeped in history, Ravenscraig evokes an era of grand garden parties when tennis and croquet graced the expansive grounds. “The home’s Scottish thistle motifs, intricate marble fireplaces, and original stained glass capture its heritage charm,” notes the agent. “From the tranquil driveway with a water fountain to the verandah and billiards room, every corner exudes a sense of calm amid lush tropical gardens.”
An inspired transformation by Design Tribe Projects has reimagined this freestanding 1920s bungalow as a luminous multigenerational haven. “Centred on a striking 6.5-metre limestone fireplace, the main living area is bathed in natural light from soaring glass doors and clerestory windows,” says the agent. “The vendor adores unwinding here before enjoying sunsets from one of the lush, plant-fringed terraces.”
Beyond its timeless heritage exterior, this architecturally transformed semi-detached house captures modern luxury as a cutting-edge smart home. “The full automation system features keyless entry, security, and seamless control, while the marble kitchen dazzles with Miele appliances, a wine cabinet, and a Pitt integrated cooktop,” says the agent. “High ceilings, oak chevron flooring, and steel bifolds enhance its sophisticated design.”

Where bushland kisses the bay, this striking architectural retreat offers a lifestyle as picturesque as its surroundings, set peacefully in a sought-after waterside enclave. “With artistic angles, oversized windows, and skylights, the home invites nature into every corner,” notes the agent. “A private jetty, elevated pool, and proximity to nature trails, waterside walks, and vibrant eateries make it a playground for outdoor adventure.”
Echoing the rhythms of its natural surroundings, this Ian Traill-designed sanctuary reveals sweeping views and architectural refinement. “Three linked pavilions and a detached studio balance functionality and serenity,” says the agent. “The vendor cherishes the expansive deck by the dining pavilion with breathtaking views of The Basin and Ku-ring-gai Chase – but then again, every window frames water or nature vistas.”
Stepping into this transformed terrace feels like discovering a private retreat in Sydney’s lively Inner West, where sunlight illuminates the warmth of exquisite timber finishes. “The owner-builder’s meticulous craftsmanship shines through in the soaring tallowwood beams, along with the quality joinery seen throughout,” says the agent. “Meanwhile, a private courtyard, reminiscent of a winery estate, offers an idyllic space to unwind.”
A labour of love has revived this early 1900s heritage home, turning it into one of Kiama’s most admired restorations, where history meets modern luxury. “From locally crafted stone fencing to restored bricks and ‘Old English’ tapware, every detail celebrates its rich heritage,” says the agent. “Standout spaces include the light-filled main bedroom and the outdoor sauna and shower, where starlit moments create a truly tranquil escape.”
Whether starting the day with a beach swim or unwinding by the pizza oven at sunset, this home captures the essence of coastal luxury. “With open-plan spaces, soaring ceilings, and a seamless connection to the outdoors, it’s designed for both entertaining and unwinding,” notes the agent. “Then there’s the master suite, a tranquil retreat with a private lounge and daybed overlooking breathtaking views.”
When acclaimed jazz composer Andrew Robertson relocated to Moss Vale in 2008, he transformed a vacant 0.2-hectare block, once home to the town’s last dairy, into a family sanctuary. “The home features high ceilings, wide hallways, and open-plan living with plenty of room for a growing family,” says the agent. “French doors lead to the deck with outdoor seating and a barbecue area, perfect for gatherings under evening lights.”
A piece of Exeter’s history, Olive is a beautifully restored weatherboard workers’ cottage that blends rustic charm with modern comforts, inspiring its proven Airbnb success. “Its light-filled white interiors contrast beautifully with timber floors, creating a warm and inviting space,” says the agent. “The bull-nose verandah is a north-facing retreat, overlooking lush gardens, a productive veggie patch, and flourishing fruit trees.”
