Looking for your next home within NSW? We’ve got you covered.
36 Carlyle Street, Byron Bay NSW
In Byron Bay, you’re always trying to hit the sweet spot. You want to be close to sand and surf, within striking distance of caffeine, cuisine and the scene, but far enough away to wind down and relax.
The brilliant 36 Carlyle Street has you covered on all counts. It’s a five-minute walk from all the delights of downtown Byron and the water’s edge.
Across the way, playing fields cut a peaceful green swathe between the streets.
The beautiful bones of an original c1900 Queenslander have been moved, modernised and matched with an adjoining studio apartment to create a coastal classic.
“It’s elevated, with loads of natural light, and its openness means it catches ocean breezes,” says Byron Bay Property Sales’ Jeremy Bennett.
That quintessential relaxed Queenslander vibe gets a thoroughly contemporary rev from the sleek fitout.
The terrazzo benches are spectacular, the raked ceilings are lined in rich timbers, and the shimmering blue magnesium pool is “just beautiful”, Bennett says.
That adjoining studio, darkly dramatic outside and full of loft and light within, offers an attractive holiday-let option.
The house has won an award for being NSW’s most sustainable – it’s a benevolent Byron beauty. The expressions-of-interest campaign has a guide of mid-$5 millions.
21 Carlisle Street, Tamarama NSW
Awash in Tamarama’s coastal brilliance, this designer-renovated sanctuary invites both lavish entertaining and quiet moments. “The multi-level layout flows gracefully from the refined marble kitchen to the expansive living area with panoramic views, and from the deck to the pool,” the agent says. “Enhanced by Will Dangar gardens and a self-contained studio, it boasts an unmatched location and lifestyle.”
50 Dumbarton Street, McMahons Point NSW
This free-standing historic terrace holds the legacy of a builder who envisioned twin homes for his sons returning from war, yet only built one for the son who survived – the other marked by a chimney with additional flues from the house that never was. “From the living rooms, the outlook is of a secluded green oasis,” the agent says. “The current vendor cherishes memories of summer evenings in the cool courtyard with their young son, and hosting friends in the inviting kitchen.”
7 Arnold Street, Killara NSW
Framed by 1037 square metres of stunning landscaped gardens, historic Nonnora is an exceptional manor home on Killara’s premier east side. “With its grand facade, the stately full brick residence showcases spacious, light-filled interiors, catering effortlessly to large or extended families,” the agent says. “A private heated swimming pool and multiple outdoor entertaining areas complete this luxurious retreat.”
12 Kimo Street, Roseville NSW
Crafted in 1959 by the acclaimed architect John James, Tourmaline stands as a timeless mid-century masterpiece, encased in glass that reveals serene views at every turn. “Recent renovations maintain its original character while harmonising with the surrounding bushland,” the agent says. “The home’s array of indoor and outdoor living zones provide an exceptional backdrop for grand entertaining and resort-style living.”
7&8/226 Campbell Parade, Bondi Beach NSW
Perched within the iconic Franklin building, an art deco gem, these dual top-floor apartments offer a prime spot on Bondi’s coveted beachfront. “Apartment 7 spans a relaxed 100 square metres, while the chicly renovated apartment 8 covers 75 square metres, both capturing direct surf views,” the agent says. “Sold separately or together, investors have an exceptional opportunity to merge these into a stunning penthouse [STCA].”
111 Old South Head Road, Bondi Junction NSW
Painted in a delightful light mint-green on the exterior and crisp white within, this renovated terrace is easy, breezy and move-in ready. “The home surprises with its spaciousness, retaining period features like decorative fretwork, soaring ceilings, timber floors and fireplaces,” the agent says. “Bifold glass doors from the dine-in kitchen open to a sun-soaked courtyard, perfect for al fresco dining post-beach.”
681 South Dowling Street, Redfern NSW
Rare and highly versatile, this freestanding B4 mixed-use terrace sits on a prime 170-square-metre block with an impressive 13-metre frontage, offering exceptional residential, business or commercial potential. “With its recent refresh, the property features multiple living areas and a private, sun-drenched courtyard,” the agent says. “Character abounds, highlighted by exposed brick walls, high ceilings and timber concertina doors.”
