Looking for your next home within NSW? We’ve got you covered.
29 Genevieve Road, Bullaburra
Charm, personality, flair – would that more homes danced to the beat of their owner’s drum the way the spirited 29 Genevieve Road in Bullaburra does.
Safe to say this won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, but that’s just fine. There will be plenty who love the vibrant colour scheme here, as well as the brilliant framing garden against which the pink house positively pops.
“This is a really well looked-after home,” says Purcell Property’s Ned Pearson-Bourke. “It feels very much loved, homey and warm.”
For every mustard-toned wall, every hot pink or black-lacquered floor, there’s an equal measure of classically delineated space that provides ample accommodation. The art deco dimensions and accents here winsomely meld with the rich tonal palette.
“There’s a lot of natural sunlight all through the house too,” Pearson-Bourke says. “It just feels very crafty and cosy.”
The grounds are expansive. A Sorensen-inspired garden frames the home in the classic Blue Mountains natural style. Beyond the rear deck, the rest of the jaw-dropping 12,000-odd square-metre site flows back to the bush. There’s a huge space under house too, so the renovating and extending options here are excellent.
52B Parriwi Road, Mosman
Basking in the sun-drenched beauty of Middle Harbour, this Tuscan-inspired villa offers panoramic ocean vistas and a three-level design. “We rarely see a residence with this Mediterranean character come onto the Mosman market,” the agent says. “Touches such as rendered columns, blackbutt floors, and travertine tiles give the home a true Italian pedigree, with rooms leading out to an al fresco dining terrace.”
14 Catalina Crescent, Avalon Beach
Promising bright days by the pool or in the private gardens, this modernist-era beach cottage combines modern style with historic appeal. “Built in 1955, the property was held for almost 40 years before the current owners added contemporary interiors, new landscaping and a studio cabin,” the agent says. “The rear living room, overlooking the pool and gardens, is a great spot to entertain and bring the family together.”
76 Clissold Road, Wahroonga
Influenced by his association with architect Harry Seidler, this Tony Camilleri-designed residence evokes a harmonious living environment. “The ethos of, ‘Build bigger tables, not higher walls,’ has always resonated with us, and this house epitomises this saying,” says the seller, Ravindra Marwaha. “It brings people together in so many places in such a unique way, like the open-plan family room with an open fireplace or the dining space with pool views.”
75 Cecily Street, Lilyfield
Converted from a former Victorian shopfront into a contemporary residence, this city-fringe home boasts light-filled living spaces. “What struck us at first was the beautiful wrought iron spiral staircase and the open, split-level living area,” says the seller, Jasmine Moghimi. “The light at different parts of the day is amazing, especially afternoon sunsets glowing through the French doors of the courtyard.”
7 Thomas Street, Birchgrove
Hosting intimate dinners is a magical affair at this whimsical terrace, given its playful pink facade, teal kitchen cabinetry, and private courtyard. “The combined kitchen and dining area means I can cook while chatting with guests,” says the seller, Ro Querol. “Upstairs, the harbour views are particularly enchanting during the New Year’s fireworks, and the large window offers a splendid view of the flowering jacaranda in spring.”
6/2 St Neot Avenue, Potts Point
With intimate city skyline views, this sun-kissed art deco apartment is being offered for the first time in five decades. “The owner, my great aunt, Beatrice Cosimi-Blase, was well-known in the community, starting her own Italian-language newspaper Settegiorni,” says her great-niece, Dionne Lister. “Close to the action yet tranquil, the apartment, with its character sunroom, suited her fiercely independent lifestyle perfectly.”
226 Grose River Road, Grose Wold
The ultimate equestrian haven, this vast estate features a substantial stable complex and lush paddocks over 26 hectares. “The property includes three separate accommodations, fit for refined rural living, guest stays, and staff,” the agent explains. “Unique features like old silos with potential for conversion and a transformed art studio enrich the estate, adding to the allure of its river frontage and mountain vistas.”
61 Hickson Street, Merewether
With panoramic ocean views, this ridgeline residence offers seaside serenity, embraced by the beauty of Glenrock State Conservation Area. “Designed by Kevin Snell, this home is the last property in a coveted cul-de-sac, with nearby stairs leading to Burwood Beach or Merewether Ocean Baths,” the agent highlights. “Its inspiring architecture, over three levels, includes a glass-roofed atrium housing a nine-metre heated indoor lap pool.”
36 Ruskin Street, Byron Bay
Resting amid tropical gardens, this halcyon home, crafted by custom builder Todd Knaus, epitomises coastal elegance. “Set within Byron Bay’s prized ‘golden grid’, this award-winning sanctuary masterfully blends beachy vibes, seclusion, and natural splendour,” says the agent. “Its airy, open-plan layout invites ocean breezes, while custom French doors lead to an outdoor oasis with a resort-style heated pool and spa.”
9 Coledale Avenue, Coledale
Waking up to a postcard-perfect image of the sun rising over the ocean, this coastal charmer offers blissful beachside living. “Imagine enjoying breakfast on the deck while watching the waves roll in, then diving into the sparkling Pacific Ocean just steps from the backdoor,” notes the agent. “Collaborating with local designer Rachael Miklas, the flowing layout boasts an expansive floor plan with dual living flexibility.”
1320 Bolong Road, Coolangatta
Wandering through the lush gardens of this grand Victorian home, outlooks of Coolangatta Mountain and surrounding vineyards instil a sense of peace. “From the welcoming circular driveway entrance, the original 1880s home elicits grandeur and romance of a bygone era,” says the seller, Ray Vincent. “The established grounds are elevated and near-level, with the front balcony a favourite place to enjoy the late afternoon light.”
