Maroubra is renowned as a tightly held suburb; once families lay down roots they tend to stay in the area. As the suburb continues to gentrify, like Bondi and Coogee, demand will continue to grow and freestanding properties are among the most keenly sought-after. Our Maroubra specialist Christian West recently sold a large home at 161 Boyce Road to a family looking to stay in the area. Christian says, “The family has lived in Maroubra for years and really wanted to stay local but, with a large family and teenage children, were worried they wouldn’t find one big enough for their needs. They’re delighted with the space and flexibility of their purchase and have listed their newly renovated home which opens up a really exciting opportunity for those looking to buy in the area.”

Set in a family friendly neighbourhood just a few blocks to Heffron Park and the town centre, 17 Wise Street, Maroubra is a beautifully recreated 1920s home designed to embrace outdoor living with a level flow from front to back and landscaped gardens designed for entertaining. The three-bedroom home is set on a sunny 335sqm corner block and comes with a buyer’s guide of $1.85m.  The owner says, “We absolutely love living in Maroubra, in fact I grew up here and wouldn’t want to be anywhere else! This is a really special spot with a great neighbourhood feel, everyone is so friendly and the convenience is just brilliant. We can stroll up to our favourite cafes and the fabulous French bakery on Anzac Parade, burn off steam in Heffron Park or spend the day at the beach. The lifestyle’s fantastic and, without the crowds of Bondi and Bronte, there’s a real community vibe.”
