Looking to buy your next home in NSW? We’ve got you covered.

8 Old Oak Place, Moss Vale

The first time you see this home, you could be forgiven for thinking it is a very finely restored country spread.

Emerging at the end of a long green driveway, the house is a picture. The fact that this place is a mere six years old is surprising and impressive.

“Custom-built in 2017 with family in mind,” says Ray White Bowral’s Jonny Tighe, “it’s a really lovely, generous home.”

We love the elegant simplicity of the floor plan, facilitating the circulation of light and air. A long passage splits the home, attractive accommodation ranging along either side. “That central hallway allows all the rooms to access garden views,” says Tighe.

There’s a splendid large living room here too, projecting out onto the verandah to catch light and views of the deep, green grounds. The doorway, framed by a small library of books, underscores the tranquil vibe.

Out in the luminous open-plan area, the crisp white tones of the kitchen are warmed by richly toned timber underfoot. A handsome wood fire adds atmosphere to the bright family room, and beyond, a broad pergola leads you into that private garden. Tighe handles the private sale of this “quiet, calm home”.

20 Phillips Street, Neutral Bay

Step through this family home’s classic Federation facade and into a world of architectural bliss, allowing the gun-barrel hallway to direct your gaze to the off-form concrete rear pavilion.

“This is the vendor’s favourite spot, with double-height ceilings and full-height glazing that showcase the landscaped gardens and black mosaic pool,” says the agent. “They say it’s a tranquil, private and sunny space with a cool, hidden feel.”

15 Loblay Crescent, Bilgola Plateau 

This masterful residence exudes understated elegance from the street, but many beautiful surprises await.

“The home spreads across many levels, with an 8.2-metre-high void at its heart and panoramic views of Pittwater,” says the agent.

“It provides grand-scale entertainment, from the basement level’s indoor pool, sauna and spa to the home theatre room that was once the music room of the previous owner and famous piano-accordion player, Enzo Toppano.”

41 Crescent Road, Newport

Like the current owners, buyers are bound to fall in love with this home’s ’60s bones and sunny disposition, fully renovated to befit its coastal locale.

“We love the expansive tropical gardens that frame the home, [which has] free-flowing living areas leading to a large, private entertainment deck,” says the seller, Christine Painter. “It’s wonderful to have such easy access to Pittwater and nearby beaches.”

15/175 Greenwich Road, Greenwich 

This 1975 waterfront retreat has a unique zigzag floor plan that maximises the natural light and dazzling views. Better yet, the apartment has windows on four sides, four balconies and no common walls.

“The delight at seeing the most spectacular views of the Lane Cove River never tires,” says the seller, Noni White. “Whether I’m enjoying a cuppa on the lounge or relaxing on a balcony, there’s just so much to see from this bird’s-eye perspective.”

502/10-14 Cooper Street, Surry Hills

This near-new retreat, set within the architecturally delightful Calibre complex, enjoys a prized corner position and is the essence of inner-city living.

“With its north-facing aspect and open-plan layout that flows onto a full-length covered terrace, you’ll enjoy a lifestyle of ease, privacy, and light,” says the agent. “Soft timber tones complement the apartment’s tasteful design, further enhanced by its leafy outlooks.”

21 Hillcrest Road, Merewether

Built in 1860 by the Merewether family, with only two previous custodians in 160 years, this grand family residence offers a unique opportunity to own a part of Newcastle’s heritage.

“While every room has grand proportions, the home is filled with intimacy and warmth, from the soaring ceilings, working fireplaces, and sandstone walls,” says the agent.

“The separate one-bedroom cottage was once the matron’s cottage from when it was a maternity hospital for the Salvation Army.”

15 Newes Road, Coorabell

Designed by renowned architect Ian McKay, this mid-century modern marvel is a masterclass in achieving seamless indoor-outdoor living.

“The main residence flows across one lavish level and out to the kidney pool, reminiscent of a Slim Aarons print,” says the seller, Nelly le Comte.

“The outside decks are perfect for unwinding, where breathtaking hinterland and ocean views are best savoured at sunrise and sunset.”

50 Kite Street, Orange

Named as one of the 50 homes in Denis Gregory’s book Great Houses of Australia, Mena is still as charming as ever.

“Walking through the front door, past the sprawling verandahs, and beneath the beautiful hall archway, four-metre high ceilings, rare cedar timber, and marble fireplaces will greet you,” says the seller, Jacqueline Tuck.

“The courtyard, bounded by the walls of the east and west wings, is wonderful for morning coffees and dinner parties.”

18 Daphne Street, Bowral

Imagine yourself as the new owner of The Little Foxes, proudly displaying its classic features, from its storybook facade and timber-lined walls to its soaring ceilings and stone fireplace.

“My very favourite spot is sitting up in bed in the mornings looking out of the windows to the big old oak tree,” says the seller, Jo Jones.

“Sipping coffees in the sunroom and strolling through the whimsical cottage gardens is equally delightful.”

27 Margaret Street, Tweed Heads 

Whitewashed and sun-drenched, this newly built home designed by architect Dane Power is heaven on earth.

“Summer days at La Casa Bianca are about taking dips in the sparkling pool and winter nights cosying in the spacious living area, with exposed rafters and detailed VJ panelling,” says the agent.

“The owners have loved being able to walk to Rainbow Bay or throw the kayaks into the river at the end of the street.”

8 Fairview Place, Mollymook Beach

Beach shacks don’t get much sweeter than this mid-century abode, with a wraparound verandah, cypress pine floorboards, and raked ceilings with exposed rafters.

“The sun rises directly in front of the kitchen window, so the owners love to stand there to welcome each day,” says the agent. “You can also see and hear the ocean from the studio balcony, tempting you to run down the beach for a quick dip.”
