Looking for your next home within NSW? We’ve got you covered.
42 High Holborn Street, Surry Hills
With its expansive Surry Hills frontage and handsome red brick-coloured window square combination, 42 High Holborn Street looks an appealing proposition. When you get beyond that fine facade, you’ll find spaces, inside and out, that are a boon for inner-city living.
Past the downstairs bedroom, the easy dimension and shape of the kitchen-dining-living areas give you stylish room to move.
“The kitchen is a great place to be with family and friends,” says McGrath’s Chris Chung. “The courtyard here, though, is amazing. It’s so great in a location like this to have greenery and sky.”
Opening off those central communal areas via tall, banded glass doors, this really is a fabulous spot. Enclosed by high walls and the second storey of the house, it’s a serene sanctuary, but if you crave some rattle and hum, it’s a mere stroll to the Crown Street action.
Crisp and considered updates of the interiors give the place an urbane edge, and upstairs, there are two bedrooms, the main with a walk-in wardrobe and en suite, as well as a dedicated study area.
On the snug Surry Hill streets, this place and its space shine. Chris Chung takes the December 14 auction. The guide is $2.5 million.

Crowned atop a prestigious c1930s Spanish mission building, this penthouse radiates opulence, marrying art deco polish with grand, sunlit interiors. “The heart of the home – a grand ballroom living space – boasts 3.6-metre ceilings, a fireplace, and a stunning balcony,” the agent remarks. “Spanning 240 square metres, the layout includes a lavish master suite and versatile bedroom or study spaces overlooking Macleay Reserve.”
102/134 Campbell Parade, Bondi Beach
Looking out to a horizon where the sky meets the sea, this apartment captivates with its blend of minimalist luxury and original design features, including its timeless facade. “The refurbished bay window with booth seating and 3.6-metre ceilings in the living room steal the show,” says the agent. “Sitting at the booth is always a crowd favourite, with views from Icebergs to Ben Buckler is like no other in Bondi.”

59 Brownell Drive, Byron Bay
Hidden within the tranquil folds of Byron Bay’s prized Wategos Beach suburb, The Wing House rises like a sculpted masterpiece blending nature and innovation. “This award-winning residence owes its name to the dramatic 27.5-metre wing-shaped roof that shelters its living spaces,” the agent says. “Panoramic vistas span from the 22-metre infinity pool, sweeping over Wategos beach, with the iconic lighthouse as a backdrop.”
15 Patchway Pl, Burradoo
