Tucked away at the southern tip of the peninsula, Phillip Bay is one of Sydney’s best-kept secrets; a laidback coastal pocket where nature takes centre stage. Unspoilt beaches, coastal trails and wide-open parklands set the tone for an active, outdoor lifestyle, while the calm, protected waters of surrounding beaches invite swimming, paddling and picnicking year-round. Renowned as being tightly held, families love the peaceful village vibe, with quality schools and childcare close by, and nearby La Perouse adding a dash of cafe culture and local history.

Just minutes from the city but a world away in feel, Phillip Bay is all about seclusion, scenery and simple pleasures. Home to just a few hundred homes and with minimal turnover, it’s hard to buy into Phillip Bay as stock is rare and firmly in the grip of long-term owners.

The good news is that Tom Sandy and Chris Helich have a freestanding home on the market at 3 Yarra Road, Phillip Bay that captures the very essence of the good life with its idyllic setting and eco-friendly design credentials. Tom says, “There’s so much to love about this single-storey home; it’s peaceful,  quiet, incredibly private and wrapped in established gardens that create a real sense of sanctuary. With four bedrooms and generous living space, it offers exceptional value compared to neighbouring Maroubra and Coogee, yet is just 800m to Yarra Bay, Frenchmans Beach and the Boatshed at La Perouse. With only nine house sales in the suburb over the past year, this is a rare chance to buy and move straight in or explore the full potential of its 530sqm block. The suburb record was broken last year with a $4.425m sale on a smaller 443sqm block serving as proof that this really is a golden opportunity for both homebuyers and developers.”

Tom and Chris will be holding an open home tomorrow from 12.15pm to 12.45pm, so why not come and check it out and see what Phillip Bay offers before heading down to The Boatshed for a spot of lunch.
