Luxury waterfront properties define the Sydney peninsula suburb of Woolwich

Once upon a time, Woolwich was a hidden gem, accessible solely by boat, a telling sign of its distinctive positioning hugged by the Lane Cove River and Parramatta River.

Today, this peninsula suburb proudly maintains strong ties to its surrounding waters. Locals are frequently spotted setting sail from the Hunters Hill Sailing Club, savouring meals at the waterside Deckhouse cafe, picnicking in the park, or exploring the scenic trails that meander to The Goat Paddock park.

Woolwich’s waterfront wonders

Steven Chen from The Agency Eastern Suburbs highlights Woolwich as a seamless blend of old-world charm and modern luxury, earning its status as a tightly held and deeply cherished area.

“Woolwich may be compact, but it boasts some of Sydney’s most prized real estate, with waterfront mansions and parklands that are highly sought after,” Chen explains. “These areas house a mix of breathtaking heritage-listed mansions alongside modern residences, all enjoying unspoiled views of Sydney Harbour.”

Chen highlights the suburb’s appeal for those looking to upscale their living situation, drawn by its generous land plots and proximity to Sydney’s CBD, just 11 kilometres away.

“Showcasing the height of luxury in Woolwich, properties like 26 Gale Street boast private waterfronts, extensive jetties, and secluded beaches, delivering breathtaking vistas and personal havens,” Chen adds. “Compared to those in the eastern suburbs, these properties could command triple the price, highlighting the suburb’s significant potential for future capital gains.”

Sisters are shaping the future of Woowich

Beyond its residential allure, Woolwich’s heritage also shines in its commercial buildings. An example is the former chemist’s cottage at 96 Woolwich Road, now transformed into the contemporary spaces of Shipman Interiors and Rise Up Pilates & Wellness, two businesses operated side by side by sisters Louisa Shipman and Laura Oliveri.

“Living over two decades on the lower north shore, with a view of Woolwich from my Lane Cove River home, I’ve always been captivated by the area,” says Shipman. “Its vast green spaces are great for picnics and boat watching, with Clarkes Point being a prime spot for viewing Sydney Harbour.”

“I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to operate my business in the serene Woolwich peninsula,” Oliveri adds. “The warmth and support from the locals are heartwarming, made lovelier by my scenic commute on Woolwich Road, lined by the tree canopies.”
