Five of the most interesting open homes to see this weekend in Sydney

If you’re on the hunt for your dream home in Sydney, Domain has found five offerings that are unlike the rest. 

From a dramatic full-scale renovation to a secret inner-city oasis and a Scandi-inspired chalet, there’s plenty to pique your interest. 

Castle Hill

$2.2 million

A recent renovation has given this home a bold contemporary style.

Exposed beams add flair to the living areas and the main bedroom looks out to the pool and cabana.

The residence is sitting in a quiet and tranquil area surrounded by mature trees, with shops and good schools close by.

Redfern

$1,650,000-$1,815,000

You wouldn’t expect such lush greenery in an apartment above Regent Street shops.

There are several alfresco areas across the home’s three levels, one of which is alive with various ferns and a coy pond.

The luxurious bathrooms with metallic-coloured feature walls are also well worth noting.

The October 28 auction will be held through David Servi of Spencer & Servi.

Fancy a home inspired by a Scandinavian chalet on Sydney’s northern beaches?

This unusual estate with creek frontage is on five private blocks of greenery.

Rose Bay

$3.8 million

If the generous proportions of this freestanding four-bedder don’t impress you, the elegant interiors surely will.

An open plan layout gives the two-storey home the feeling of endless space, and design highlights range from custom cabinetry, arch windows and intricate ceiling detail.

The master bedroom spans an entire floor, with an ensuite and retreat attached.
