Sweeping ocean views and perfectly preserved heritage details are the hallmarks of this week’s best properties for sale in Sydney and NSW.
5 Gecko Place, Glenorie, NSW 2157
Against the perspective of a big sky and stunning park-like surrounds, 5 Gecko Place, Glenorie, looks glorious – and it’s just as impressive up close.
The composed Hamptons-esque facade handsomely spreads out on a hectare that Justin Lowery of Belle Property Castle Hill says is “like a croquet lawn”, such are the splendid, grassy terraces.

Inside, polished concrete floors anchor the lofty ceilings, the sophisticated fit-out perfectly reflecting that crisp Hamptons aesthetic.
The broad spaces with floor-to-ceiling windows are made more intimate by fireplaces, and judiciously applied darker tones bring a pleasing depth. Upstairs, a rangy retreat offers more room to spread out.
“When you get out the back, the view is mind-blowing,” the agent says. “You can look across the beautiful pool to tranquil bushland all the way to the Blue Mountains. The sunsets are amazing.”
That fabulous rear section starts at a huge travertine patio with fire pit and pizza oven, and runs out to excellent shedding, two garages and rumpus areas.
The property is part of a gated community with private walking tracks and a huge lake for canoeing and fishing. It’s under an hour from the city and a world away from it, too. The private sale has a guide of $5.5 million.
24 Wolaroi Crescent, Tamarama, NSW 2026
With design mastery by Akin Atelier, this residence celebrates its coastal setting across three spectacular levels.
A gas fireplace anchors the living zone, bifold doors frame ocean views, and a heated pool sparkles amid landscaped gardens.
“One of only four elevated, north-facing homes overlooking Tamarama Gully, it offers exclusivity and relaxed beachside living just footsteps from the sand,” the agent says.
157 Hudson Parade, Avalon Beach, NSW 2107
Few homes command Pittwater quite like this residence, its bold design softened by native gardens and a striking glass-fronted plunge pool.
Inside, relaxed sophistication unfolds across sunlit living zones and terraces that capture the Lion Island panorama.
“That sense of ease only continues – three levels linked by a lift, fully automated interiors, lavish bedrooms with en suites, and a marble-topped kitchen,” the agent says.
97 Koola Avenue, East Killara, NSW 2071
With its mosaic-tiled pool sparkling beside a full outdoor kitchen, this brand-new home is primed for entertaining – from summer barbecues and Christmas feasts to evenings spent watching fireworks from the backyard or balconies.
Inside, soaring ceilings and marble finishes bring both drama and luxury.
“This pocket is special with sweeping views over Garigal National Park, city skyline glimpses, and proximity to Killara High,” the agent says.
49 Bungaloe Avenue, Balgowlah Heights, NSW 2093
Elevated among sculptural boulders and towering gums, this 1940s P&O-style home sits in stillness, yet its spaces are filled with life.
The treetop terrace hums with both daily rituals and celebrations.
“The vendors tell of a Sunday ritual they call the ‘kookaburra hunt’ – hot raisin toast with butter, coffee for the grown-ups, and a clamber over the rocks to greet the always-laughing kookaburras,” the agent says.
10/31 Birriga Road, Bellevue Hill, NSW 2023
In a glittering pocket of Sydney, this top-floor 1960s apartment has been cleverly reimagined to maximise space by removing archways and embracing the full envelope of the unit – yet it hasn’t lost its soul.
“With their background in design and build, the vendors leaned into a warm, retro palette, anchored by a striking marble kitchen and a peach-toned banquette that feels instantly inviting,” the agent says.
6 North Point Avenue, Kingscliff, NSW 2487
Blurring the line between home and holiday, this beachfront house connects directly to Kingscliff Beach from its deck. There is a sweep of ocean views from the dining room and swimming pool, and birdsong from the surrounding trees adding to the serene setting. “Everyone comments on the striking entry – the soaring ceilings, wide hallways and staircase drenched in natural light,” the agent says.
19 Coledale Avenue, Coledale, NSW 2515
Suspended above the South Coast shoreline, Salt Scape celebrates its dramatic setting with three levels of sculptural design. The landscaped garden opens to vast ocean views, while the main-bedroom suite offers a front-row view of whales, seals and dolphins.
“It’s heaven – laps in the rock pool at dawn, then a quiet cocktail in the plunge pool as the sun melts away,” the agent says.
11 Bloomfield Close, Bowral, NSW 2576
High above Bowral, Ananda Park frames magnificent vistas while weaving natural textures into its design. Brick, weatherboard and a striking stone fireplace bring warmth to its modern lines.
“Over the past five years, the vendor says the kitchen has truly lived up to its role as the heart of the home – it’s where every celebration has unfolded, from Christmas spreads to birthday feasts and spontaneous roasts,” the agent says.
4 Seaview Street, Byron Bay, NSW 2481
In Byron’s coveted Golden Grid, this former harbourmaster’s house once housed the town’s only telephone, used to alert the master of incoming ships. Today, it has been reborn with contemporary luxury.
“Overlooking the pool, the sunroom offers front-row seats to stunning sunsets and a natural vantage point to watch children swim, while just beyond, the gazebo invites long summer lunches,” the agent says.
39 Hoddle Street, Robertson, NSW 2577
A slice of Robertson history, this former 1902 church has been reimagined as a striking private home. Its timber-lined hall flows with light-filled living spaces, while the original facade rests amid storybook gardens. “The vendor enjoys many spots in the garden – sitting beneath the church’s memorial pine with a Campari, or easing into the day with coffee from a private nook as the village wakes,” the agent says.
10 Connemara Drive, Orange, NSW 2800
A peaceful retreat just minutes from the Orange CBD, this home in the prized Sunset Ridge Estate is wrapped in gardens that feel like a green embrace. The living room sets the stage for gatherings beneath lofty ceilings, with music drifting from the piano and conversations by the fire.
“The vendor says it’s most spectacular at sunset, when golden light frames the landscape like a work of art,” the agent says.
