8 Sydney properties to see this Saturday, December 7
McMahons Point
This classic tri-level terrace has been serving the ever-changing needs of a growing family, as well as acting as an artist’s home, thanks to its multipurpose garden studio.
“During our renovation, we sought to maintain the spirit of the Victorian terrace,” says the seller.
“We reused as much of the original timbers as possible, and painstakingly chipped back plaster to reveal lovely old sandstock brick chimneys — it was well worth the effort.”
Dolan Reskov from Holmes St.Clair is selling the home, which is headed for auction on December 14. The listing advises on a $2.5 million price guide.
Coogee
This transformed beachside family home presents an abundance of space and natural light.
“I love how the central atrium lets in northern light and views of the tree next door,” says the seller.
“Our home is truly a haven in the middle of Coogee – providing instant relaxation and uplift, as soon as you walk through the door.”
The auction will be held on December 14 through Ray White Woollahra agent Clay Brodie. The property has a price guide of $4.2 million.
Palm Beach
Situated on a 1600-square-metre block, on the high side of Barrenjoey Road with elevated views across Pittwater, this scenic home offers a picturesque Palm Beach lifestyle.

Combining the charms of a bygone era with the contemporary comforts of a modern home, this free-standing brick and sandstone cottage sees a beautiful blend of old and new.
“My favourite spot is the study, encompassed in the original building’s sandstone, which is partly underground, making it a unique and special spot,” says the vendor.
“I love to relax and read my books whenever I spend time in this space.”
The December 14 auction has a $2.7 million bidding guide, according to Thomas Skelly from Forsyth Real Estate.

Point Piper
When the owners of this very special home first stumbled upon this property, they describe it as feeling like they had been transported to somewhere in Italy.
“I was captivated by the view coupled with the gorgeous stone wraparound balcony, laid underneath the stunning Bougainvillea which overhangs,” says the seller.
“It truly felt magical and we tried to mimic this feeling when we were renovating the interior.”

One of only three boutique apartments, this true warehouse conversion showcases an ode to its industrial heritage.
“Our apartment has loads of natural light created by open spaces, high ceilings, and floor to ceiling glass doors,” says the seller.
“We love to entertain downstairs beside the huge double story door that opens out to the terrace. It’s incredibly striking and creates a great indoor/outdoor space to soak up some sun and entertain friends in.”
It will go under the hammer on December 14 and has a $1 million price guide, according to Shaun Stoker from Ray White Surry Hills-Alexandria-Glebe-Erskineville.
