A suburb on the rise, Kingsford has been given a new burst of energy now that the light rail is in action connecting the inner east with the city and Circular Quay. Popular with both families and professionals, Kingsford fills the gap between lifestyle appeal and urban convenience with close proximity to acres of parkland and the coastal attractions of Coogee and Maroubra Beaches. Great schools, the University of New South Wales and a choice of golf courses are massive drawcards while a multicultural dining scene offers everything from Japanese and Korean food to Indonesian street food and Chinese dumpling and noodle bars.

We have a choice of two fantastic family homes on the market, both with broad family appeal. Christian West has just listed 64 Irvine Street, Kingsford which is a five-bedroom home located on the cusp of Maroubra an easy 500m walk to Mount Sinai College, Maroubra Synagogue and the International French School. Christian says, “Irvine Street is very tightly held and homes in this pocket of Kingsford rarely trade. It’s one of the most well laid-out family homes we’ve seen hit the market in a long time with a beautiful private garden, multiple living zones and four bedrooms on the one level. With Snape Park at the end of the street, there’s plentiful outdoor space for kids to run around too with great schools in easy walking distance.”

Doreen Wilson has 129 Rainbow Street, Kingsford which is a wide-fronted semi in a fantastic location opposite Rainbow Street Public School, on the border of Randwick, and walking distance to The Spot and in the OLSH school catchment area. With a price guide of $1.5m, the neat and tidy home offers exceptional value with plentiful outdoor living space and a two bedroom layout that could easily be converted into a three bedroom home.

Christian recently sold 12 Ainslie Street, Kingsford to a young couple looking to upgrade from an apartment but keen to stay in the area. The four-bedroom home sold for $2.13m after only seven days on the market. There was plenty of demand with 87 groups inspecting the property over the week before it was snapped up.

It’s been another busy week with the sales team securing nine sales with an average price of $2.28m and listing ten new properties. Take care, stay safe and keep connected.
