Looking for your next home within Sydney? We’ve got you covered.
1404/71 Macquarie Street, Sydney
Oh, hi there Sydney. Good morning, good afternoon and good night too.
At 1404/71 Macquarie Street all the city’s stars align. The Harbour Bridge seems almost touchable. The tips of the Opera House sails float above your kitchen bench. Across the blue, Luna Park’s toothy grin looms neon at night-time.
Ah, night-time. Imagine Sydney lighting up around you; the ferries glowing on the water, and the thrum of a famous city’s nightlife below.
While Christie’s International Real Estate’s Darren Curtis isn’t exactly talking us down off our ledge of hyperbole, he does want to point out a few other very important things about this shimmering waterfront apartment. Fair enough, too.
“Given the position, people always anticipate being able to see all the icons, but what’s not always expected is the level of finish,” he says.
Marble kitchen and bathrooms, herringbone floors, copper accents and curved banks of glass combine in a sumptuous material palette worthy of their seat.
A winter garden lets you take in the glorious scene year-round, and the spectacular terrace is expansive and exclusive.
“The only large private terrace on the upper levels with a view,” Curtis adds. “Really, this is as good as it gets.” Word.
29 Grandview Street, Pymble
Gracing a distinguished Pymble enclave, Terara is an exquisitely renovated, estate-like landmark house. “This full-brick Federation home rests among beautifully landscaped gardens and features poolside terraces,” the agent says. “Across two expansive levels, elegant formal spaces flow into a large, open-plan family area, anchored by a deluxe kitchen with a grand marble island and two oversized ovens.”
29 Darvall Street, Balmain
Tucked behind a north-facing courtyard, this home dazzles with a pavilion-style extension that captures panoramic views over White Bay, from the city skyline to the Anzac Bridge. “Ideal for hosting, it boasts a huge living room that opens onto a view-swept terrace,” the agent says. “Key highlights include the elevated outlook, strategic highlight windows, and a heated mosaic-tiled pool and spa in the backyard.”
110a Prince Edward Street, Malabar
Capturing beachside bliss, this resort-style family home brings a splash of Mediterranean magic just a hop and skip from Malabar Beach. “The owners adore the glass-framed living pavilion with its soaring cathedral ceilings, sunken lounge and direct pool access,” the agent says. “It offers a variety of outdoor spaces to enjoy in total privacy, from the heated mineral pool to the copper beach shower with side access.”
2/82 Milson Road, Cremorne Point
One of only three redeveloped in 2001, this house-like apartment enjoys a waterfront reserve setting with a private garden and views of the harbour, bridge and city. “Enjoy these views from the covered terrace off the master bedroom or the full-length balcony off the upper living and dining area,” the agent says. “A garden gate offers direct access to the Cremorne Point Reserve path, leading straight to Maccallum Pool and the ferry.”
76 Darley Street, Newtown
Whether taking a dip in the heated mineral magnesium pool or selecting a bottle from the custom wine storage, this luxurious retreat shines as an Inner West gem. “It’s a newly built home that flaunts an industrial aesthetic with polished concrete floors and exposed brick,” the agent says. “The space is surprisingly expansive, evident in its distinct living, dining and family areas, as well as the king-size bedrooms.”
4/57-59 Macleay Street, Potts Point
This rare offering forms part of the landmark Yellow House, once an art gallery in the 1950s exhibiting artists like John Olsen. Later, it became the home and collaborative hub for illustrator Martin Sharp, displaying notable artists like Brett Whiteley. “Today, this building is a coveted residential oasis at the Parisian end of Potts Point,” the agent says. “The owners have cherished its distinctive charm, artistic legacy, and the leafy views from the balcony.”
