The best properties on the market in Sydney and surrounds

Sweeping ocean views and perfectly preserved heritage details are the hallmarks of this week’s best properties for sale in Sydney.

136 Osborne Road, Burradoo NSW

Coming through the front gate at 136 Osborne Road, Burradoo, is like arriving in an enchanted, secret garden, says McGrath’s Hayley Sneddon, adding, “Every time I come here, there’s something new blooming.”

Fetcham Lodge has been one family’s labour of love for over two decades, and that careful, warm nurturing is evident everywhere.

Across the 4181 square metres here, lush green lawns edge around shades and scents of all kinds – from elegant silver birches to the fragrant clusters of smaller blooms. A large koi pond is a pretty focal point. “It’s like a little botanical garden,” Sneddon says.

The H-shaped house means just about every one of the splendid rooms gets a good look out onto the gorgeous greenery. The central “cross-section” accommodates both formal and informal living spaces, which open out on either side to broad decks and a superb covered entertaining area.

A main bedroom with a walk-through wardrobe and an en suite shares one wing with a generous home office, while across on the other edge are three further bedrooms and a bright bathroom.

“This is one of the more sought-after, tightly held parts of Burradoo,” the agent says. “There are not many others like this. It’s got personality in spades.”

The private sale has a guide of $4.3 million to $4.5 million.

4 Ocean Road, Palm Beach NSW

Ballycotton tells the story of Palm Beach at its best – blissful summers, barefoot days and the joy of watching dolphins from the front terrace. With strong foundations and a timeless two-level design, the home is awash with natural light and sea air. “Held by the same family for nearly five decades, it’s long been cherished for its steps-from-the-sand setting and glorious ocean views from almost every room,” the agent says.

35 Grandview Street, Pymble 

Presiding over sprawling grounds, Ku-ring-gai is a late-Victorian masterpiece, graced with iron lace balconies, soaring ceilings, and leadlight detailing that bears its historic name. Beyond its grand interiors, the gardens evoke Italian design with travertine terraces and flowering canopies. “In spring, the maples and cherries erupt in blossom,” the agent says. “The vendor says it feels like a private park alive with colour, scent and birdsong.”

15 Harley Road, Avalon Beach NSW 

It’s one thing to live among frangipanis, hydrangeas and lush, level lawns, but another to call Mlie Cottage home. It’s a place of vaulted ceilings, light-filled rooms and decks made for gatherings. Long, lazy lunches unfold easily here, with a loft and studio giving guests their own retreat. “Best of all, it’s just a few minutes’ walk to the beach along Avalon’s fondly named ‘Yellow Brick Road’,” the agent says.

6/11 Ocean Street, Narrabeen NSW 

In this renovated Narrabeen beachfront apartment, the kitchen’s green marble and stained cabinetry mirror the energy of the ocean set against wide, sunlit skies. The bold palette anchors interiors that flow breezily to a balcony where the sea dominates every outlook. “From here, dolphins are spotted almost daily, and during spring migration, it becomes a front-row seat to whales passing by,” the agent says.

2 Leinster Street, Paddington NSW

Inside this Mediterranean-inspired terrace, graceful archways, bianco Carrara marble and walnut hardwood set the tone, making daily rituals feel indulgent. Outside, a jasmine-scented courtyard hosts everything from lively barbecues to peaceful Sunday mornings and even an open-air cinema. “The vendors say it’s been their privilege to be custodians of such a carefully reimagined home by Jillian Dinkel Designs,” the agent says.
