Seven NSW properties for sale turning heads this week

What a way to go! This column’s last hurrah for the year includes some ultimate end-of-year showstoppers, like this listing in Blackwall on the Central Coast.

370 Orange Grove Road, Blackwall NSW

If you think we’re bordering on nearly-Christmas-crackers, we present to you 370 Orange Grove Road’s shark tank. That’s right. Underneath the floating glass staircase, sharks, stingrays and assorted sea creatures coast the saltwater pool.

This absolute waterfront home has it all. If you don’t want to climb the glassy steps, take the great glass lift through four levels and be awed by panoramic Brisbane Water vistas throughout.

Entry level has the garage and guest spaces, and then it’s up to the four-bedroom second storey with a sumptuous main-bedroom suite and balcony bending around the view.

The main living-kitchen-dining level makes the most of its lofty seat, opening onto another broad balcony sitting over the water.

Before you head out, look up: there’s something blue above as well as beyond.

Over the dining table, the ceiling turns sculptural, with a mosaic of cutaways revealing the dazzling turquoise of the rooftop pool.

Up here on the glorious terrace, have a swim or just enjoy the sun and the sight of your private pontoon and deepwater mooring.

Domain Property Group helms an expressions-of-interest campaign with a guide of over $10.5 million. Merry Christmas indeed!

3/1 Onslow Avenue, Elizabeth Bay NSW

In a postcode with harbour access and foreshore parks on one side and a vibrant cultural hub on the other, this designer feels perfectly placed. A Handelsmann + Khaw revamp brings steel-framed doors and a calacatta marble kitchen to the fore. “The living area with three-metre ceilings opening to the winter garden overlooking Arthur McElhone Reserve is a delightful sun trap,” the agent says.

1 Lisa Place, Bilgola Plateau NSW

With its pure modernist lines and sustainable detailing, this Sarah Blacker–designed house feels grown from the landscape rather than placed upon it. Across three extraordinary levels, it draws Pittwater into every room. “The husband loves the temperature-controlled wine cellar, while the wife loves the 30-year-old gardenia by their bedroom that fills spring and summer with amazing fragrance,” the agent says.

122 Riverview Road, Avalon Beach NSW

For the vendors, this architect-designed home marks four years of planning and building, shaped by sunsets over Pittwater and the slow creation of a native garden. The burnt-timber shou sugi ban exterior is a treasured detail, giving the house both warmth and presence. “Windows were central to the vision too – framing nature at every turn and echoing Avalon’s classic mid-century flavour,” the agent says.

2 Ruskin Rowe, Avalon Beach NSW

There’s a storybook charm to this home – mid-century bones wrapped in gardens threaded with bridges and a wandering creek. Since 2008, the owners have watched the grounds create childhood memories, from pony rides and laser-tag parties to two big 21st birthdays with marquees and dance floors. “During one celebration on the back deck, a line of ducklings crossed the bridge and toddled straight to the creek,” the agent says.

109 Gloucester Street, The Rocks NSW

Tucked within the cluster of homes that make up Long’s Lane, Jobbins Terrace feels like an heirloom. One of the earliest terrace rows designed by Oswald Lewis in the 1850s, its character still hums through sandstone and iron lace. “The renovation brings modern comfort while honouring that history, from the calacatta viola kitchen to the Jetmaster fireplace in the sunlit lounge and master bedroom,” the agent says.

8B Rothwell Road, Turramurra NSW

There’s a lovely sense of intention in this home, conceived by architect Warren Daubney for his family in 1981. Its mid-century ethos shows in the soaring volumes, the raked ceilings, and the way each level orients itself toward light and nature. “The sunroom makes a striking entry, while the main living room, rising almost five metres, opens to a verandah deck that embraces its bushland setting,” the agent says.
