The laidback cousin of Coogee, the tranquil coastal enclave of South Coogee hugs the eastern shoreline just north of the surfing hotspot of Maroubra but with its own unique vibe. Up until a few years ago, South Coogee was somewhat of a local secret but families looking for more space served up with some truly incredible views and a slower pace of life have been gravitating to this tranquil pocket. The calm waters of Lurline Bay, a rocky outcrop that’s one of the area’s hidden gems, make it a popular spot for families to swim, fish or paddle board and we have a stellar line-up of properties that are all within easy reach of this natural wonderland.

Right on the border of Maroubra and South Coogee, 276 Malabar Road, Maroubra, is a newly built coastal triumph with sweeping ocean views and luxurious interiors custom crafted by Mia Lake Design. With parking for four cars and level lift access to both levels, this cutting-edge home features a host of prestige features including a statement kitchen, master suite, outdoor kitchen, steam room and glass-fronted wine cellar. 

Undoubtedly the finest in the area, 1A Seaside Parade, South Coogee is set on just under 1,200sqm of land with uninterrupted views over Lurline Bay to Wedding Cake Island and Bondi in one direction and out to Malabar in the other. Alexander Phillips says, “With a 20m frontage to the ocean spectacle and views that will never be built out, this incredible property is reminiscent of living aboard a luxury yacht with the open water evoking a sense of freedom. Luxurious interiors, established gardens and a sparkling pool on the water’s edge deliver a home of true international appeal surrounded by nature and remarkably private.”

Jason Pantzer’s listing at 143 Carrington Road, Coogee is a perfect choice for families within easy reach of the surf at Coogee and the sheltered waters of Clovelly. The impeccably presented two-storey home is hidden from the street on a sunny north-east facing block offering an uplifting sense of light, space and privacy with tranquil views over Coogee valley to the ocean from the master suite.

We’ve had some excellent results in Coogee over the past week with 53 Cuzco Street, South Coogee selling prior to auction to a local from slightly further along the waterfront and loves the area so much wouldn’t consider living anywhere else. The garden duplex at 1/201 Oberon Street, Coogee was snapped up quickly too with the three-bedroom residence attracting 124 buyers in the short time it was on the market before selling prior to auction for $3.34m.
