Renowned as the friendliest beachside suburb in the east, Coogee is all about the outdoors with the action centred along the iconic beach and cafe-lined promenade with the landmark Coogee Pavilion at one end and the heritage-listed Wylie’s Baths at the other. Thomas Fuller says, “We’re seeing really strong demand in Coogee at the moment, especially in the $1m to $4m range, with above-average numbers through our open homes. We’ve sold three properties already this month, with all three being snapped up prior to auction and all to local buyers as it’s the kind of place that once you live there you’re hooked on the lifestyle. Just this week, the boutique apartment at 2/11-13a Havelock Avenue, Coogee sold for $970,000 which is a really strong result for a 54sqm apartment.”

If you’re looking for a family home in Coogee, the sun-filled semi at 4 Ritchard Avenue, Coogee offers exceptional value and potential in a quiet neighbourhood between Clovelly village and the beachfront. Perched high for privacy and with all its period charm intact, the 1920s classic has been held for over 60 years offering a superb opportunity for the young family or downsizer looking to make their mark. Either add your stamp of style with a cosmetic update or explore the potential to build up or extend out taking advantage of a generous 325sqm approx block. With a buyer’s guide of $2.1m, this vintage original is within easy reach of the beach action with great schools all around and will be open for inspection from 9.30am to 10am tomorrow.

On the doorstep of the beach, Alexander Phillips and Thomas Heath have listed a gorgeous apartment fronting Coogee Oval at 4/117-119 Dolphin Street, Coogee that they will be showing tomorrow from 10.30am to 11am. Spread over half a floor of a boutique block of six, the family friendly apartment overlooks the historic oval and features a common rooftop terrace overlooking the ocean and Wedding Cake Island. With three bedrooms and a north-to-rear aspect, the renovated apartment makes a superb alternative to a semi with the sand, surf and beachfront cafes just 100m away.

There’s always something happening in Coogee and this weekend, as Sydney gears up for Mardi Gras, Coogee Beach will host the annual Randwick Pride event to kick off the festival. Now in its fifth year, the event will run from 2-6pm tomorrow, Saturday 15th February, at the Rainbow Walkway on the beachfront. The family friendly celebration will host a superb line-up of events including a choir, DJ and performances so come on down and enjoy the festivities after checking out our Coogee listings with free rainbow ice-cream for those who get there before it runs out!
