One of the east coast’s hidden gems, Malabar is a laidback beachside suburb with a genuine village feel surrounded by national parkland and some seriously good bushwalks that stretch along the coast to Maroubra Beach. A sheltered beach and historic ocean pool form the centre of life in Malabar with families increasingly drawn to the larger blocks of land, wide streets and friendly community feel. Our local area specialists Christian West and Tom Sandy have two of the best on the market that offer a perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle at a fraction of the price of similarly sized family homes in Maroubra and Coogee.

On a sunny 640sqm approx block, 30 Nix Avenue, Malabar is a state-of-the-art home crafted as the ultimate coastal entertainer with every conceivable luxury from a Palm Springs-inspired pool and home cinema to a luxurious parents’ retreat and internal access to triple garaging. Tom Sandy says, “This really is a forever home with the most family friendly floorplan we’ve ever seen. A quality build, fantastic finishes and great location just 750m to the ocean pool make it perfect for those looking for the ultimate turnkey home on one of Malabar’s best streets with a buyer’s guide of $5.3m.”

Closer to the beach in the sought-after Malabar Village, 24 Raglan Street, Malabar has undergone a high-end renovation that fuses classic Australian beach house vibes with west-coast American coastal cool. Spread over one level on 563sqm approx, the bright and breezy beach house is ideal for downsizers and families alike with potential for beach views from a second level addition and plenty of room for a pool in the lush tropical north-facing garden. With a buyer’s guide of $3.275m, the double-fronted freestanding home is around the corner from St Andrew’s Catholic Primary School with the popular Coastal Brasserie Malabar at the end of the street.

Both of these incredible beach houses will be open for inspection tomorrow morning so click on the links for full details and inspection times and head on down to Malabar for a dip in the sea, a swim in the ocean pool or brekkie by the sea.
