Our four favourite homes for sale in Sydney right now

It’s always a joy to discover that a home that looks impressive from the street is even better inside. It might be a stately period home that’s had a thoughtful and high-quality renovation, or an inner-city residence that makes a creative use of the space available, or an outdoor area designed to relax and entertain.

Some might have hidden details such as wine cellars, a study nook tucked in a corner, or private decks. Here are our top picks in Sydney this week, and there’s plenty to enjoy – inside and out.

17 Avenue Road, Mosman NSW 

This Federation home in Mosman looks grand from the outside, but inside it’s had a delightful renovation to suit a modern family. The backyard looks lush, with a variety of plants set against sandstone walls and a bench seat to gather guests around a fire pit. The kitchen is another standout, including the granite island bench and stylish pendant lights.

6 Adelong Place, Wahroonga NSW 

If this Wahroonga house looks generous, that’s because it is – there are six bedrooms and it’s set on a 2296-square-metre block with a swimming pool. The atmospheric wine cellar leads onto a deck surrounded by greenery. Home cooks will appreciate the double oven and the outdoor barbecue set-up.

77 St Georges Crescent, Drummoyne NSW 

This Drummoyne home makes a clever use of space, managing to fit in both a courtyard and a balcony for its owners to enjoy. The covered backyard area with pizza oven allows for al fresco meals without worrying about the weather. There’s also a spa, a double garage and bright city views.

1/5 Pitt Street, Randwick NSW 

Not many units have a balcony this impressive, with plenty of room to host and views as far as the ocean, screened by a row of trees standing tall like soldiers. There’s a charming study nook, plus a cellar and double parking. It’s not far from the city and not far from the beach.
