154 Boundary Street, Paddington NSW

You might be in the middle of one of the great villages of one of the great cities of the world, but behind the high terrace wall of 154 Boundary Street, Paddington, you can create your own brilliant universe.

This three-story Victorian terrace is rock-solid and ready for action. According to Belle Property Surry Hill’s Ted Pye, the home has “certainly seen its share of parties”.

No surprises there because the splendid rear terrazza is about as good a place for a knees-up as you could imagine.

Out here, the high walls are garlanded with ivy, and an impressively hefty granite table sits atop the lovely travertine paving. You could certainly envision it groaning under the weight of good times.

If the weather doesn’t encourage a feast, there’s heating and an automatic awning to facilitate the festivities.

When you finally make it inside, you won’t be disappointed because some of the finely-crafted timberwork here is a delight. The kitchen, bedroom and bathroom cabinetry particularly showcase its depth and quality.

There are three bedrooms, two on the middle level and one charming space right up top.

Adding to the singular offering here is a hard-to-find garage with attic/loft storage. The October 11 auction has a price guide of $3 million to $3.3 million.

6/9 Elamang Avenue, Kirribilli NSW

One of Kirribilli’s finest, this world-class penthouse occupies the entire top floor of a boutique building of just six. Views stretch from Careening Cove to the Main Harbour, where a private yacht mooring awaits. “Interconnecting living areas flow to a vast terrace with glass sunrooms, al fresco kitchen and access to waterfront gardens and pool – life here is harbourside luxury at its best,” says the agent.

20 Tulip Street, Chatswood NSW

Built in 1904 for explorer William Ford, Wycliffe carries the legacy of a family who helped spark a gold rush, remaining in their hands for 70 years. Soaring archways and intricate ceilings exude old-world charm, anchored by the landmark tower that defines its silhouette. “It’s the finest Queen Anne Federation home I’ve seen, retaining its slate roof, wraparound verandah and exquisite period detailing,” the agent describes.

99 Francis Street, Bondi Beach NSW

After three decades in one family, this home, within striking distance of Bondi Beach, still surprises with its sense of space and calm. Expansive voids, soaring ceilings and walls of glass invite natural light to sweep through. “The kitchen is the heart of the home, where the vendor has loved bringing family and friends together, with doors opening to the deck for effortless entertaining,” shares the agent.

69 Falcon Street, Crows Nest NSW

With its foundation stones dating back to the 1920s, The Church is a Crows Nest landmark reimagined as a family sanctuary. Stained-glass windows, arched timber doors and patterned ceilings preserve its character, while open-plan living unfolds beneath the original beams. “It’s cleverly designed so the back, middle and front can be closed off, creating a sense of space without ever feeling overwhelming,” says the agent.

112 McCarrs Creek Road, Church Point NSW

Framed by vaulted ceilings and an atrium of glass, this north-facing waterfront retreat makes light its signature design element. Meals feel brighter, gatherings seem larger, and the home itself seems to breathe with the rhythms of McCarrs Creek. “The boat shed has been a joy for the entire family on weekends with endless fun at both low and high tide,” the agent shares.

18A Childe Street, Byron Bay NSW

Cradled between Belongil beach and creek, this architect-designed retreat captures the barefoot luxury of Byron living. Natural timbers, soaring ceilings and pavilions blur the line between indoors and out, making even the simplest moments feel indulgent. “It’s not unusual to spot sea eagles, bandicoots, dolphins and migrating whales, alongside an abundance of native birdlife,” the agent says.

519 Upper Kangaroo Valley River Road, Kangaroo Valley NSW

Weekends at this Kangaroo Valley estate feel a touch magical – barbecues by the pool, marshmallows by the fire pit, and hot-tub soaks beneath the stars. Inside the restored homestead, country charm meets modern flair with terrazzo floors, soaring ceilings and a striking concrete hearth flowing to wraparound verandahs. “A private one-bedroom retreat adds another layer of versatility,” the agent says.

142 Coorabell Road, Federal NSW

Caloola pairs its Queenslander-style house with magnificent gardens. Vegetable beds, a chicken coop and fruit trees deepen the connection to nature, while open lawns, spring-fed dams and a plunge pool invite moments of leisure. “Garden and hinterland views are ever-present here – from morning light spilling across the cottage’s timber floors to golden afternoons on the verandah,” the agent says.

12 Gloria Street, South Golden Beach NSW

With its timber walkway stretching out like an invitation, a magnesium plunge pool anchors this home’s outdoor life. Kids playing, friends gathering, or quiet solo moments all unfold naturally here, with an effortless flow between house, garden and water. “It changes the way the space is used – from spontaneous dips to poolside lounging or simply walking out to enjoy the view,” the agent says.

58 Railway Parade, Mittagong NSW

Life in this refreshed Southern Highlands cottage is defined by simple pleasures – the crackle of a slow-combustion fire, timber floors that glow with warmth and gardens that shift gently with the seasons. At the rear, a brand-new self-contained studio adds another layer of flexibility. “The studio has been used as an Airbnb, but it also makes the perfect guest space or home office,” the agent says.
