Boats bobbing in the foreground, an expansive stretch of harbour and the Harbour Bridge bookended by the city and North Sydney skylines: the waterfront penthouse in the Alex Popov architect-designed Shillings building offers iconic Sydney views. The 490-square-metre, whole-floor apartment comes with marble floors, a Gaggenau kitchen, a wine cellar and access to resort-like amenities.
Shaun Lockyer Architects transformed this 1800s Queenslander with a thoroughly contemporary addition in 2018. Behind the grand heritage facade, the home offers an impressive 719 square metres of internal accommodation featuring French oak and polished concrete floors, lofty, skylit ceilings and stone accents. The pool and established gardens make the most of a north-easterly aspect.
With a front-row view over the 16th hole of the RACV Cape Schanck Resort, this two-level home comes with living spaces and a deck on each floor capturing views across the golf course to the ocean.

There’s a dedicated study, an internal lift, a double garage and a separate garage for the golf cart or additional storage.
A gentleman’s residence for the grandson of Sydney Morning Herald founder John Fairfax in the 1880s, Knoyle is a 1.8-hectare garden estate comprising a grand family home with palatially-proportioned rooms, plus three income-producing guest houses.
