We’ve had some amazing results this week which is as a sign that the eastern suburbs is leading an upturn in the Sydney market. The Mediterranean-style Villa Verano at 37 Wentworth Road, Vaucluse sold after only 14 days on the market for circa $26m which is the highest recorded price to date for our sales team. Setting a new street record, the sale of 8 Stafford Street, Paddington for around $7m is a fantastic result for the newly reimagined terrace at the gateway to Five Ways which was viewed by 107 groups in the 17 days before it was purchased. Snapped up after on 10 days on the market, 1/13 Bayview Street, Bronte traded for the first time since the garden apartment fronting Bronte Beach was built with 41 groups inspecting the property before it sold for $6.31m.

If you’re on the hunt for your dream home, we have some real beauties on the market that are sure to grab your attention and your heart. One of Bronte’s best, the newly built beachside triumph at 37 Gardyne Street, Bronte was designed by Smyth & Smyth to take full advantage of its northerly ocean outlook with views that sweep across the beach and surf club. Set on over 460sqm, the breathtaking beach house will be auctioned on site tomorrow at 11.15am with a buyer’s guide of $13m. A few hundred metres down the street is the Bronte landmark Mt Eden at 75 Gardyne Street, Bronte which comes with breathtaking views, a secondary dwelling and a guide of $9.5m.

Catherine Dixon has an off-market opportunity that is a true one-of-a-kind in Paddington. Facing north and bathed in beautiful sunshine, 1 Sutherland Street, Paddington is surrounded by nature with an inner courtyard oasis and a lock-up garage and can be viewed by appointment so call Catherine on 0415 486 771 to be first in and best dressed.
