Double Bay has cemented its reputation as Sydney’s most fashionable harbour village with its alluring blend of waterfront serenity and leafy European-style ambiance, with life in the bay centred around a high-end shopping hub and vibrant social scene. Similarly, our local area specialist Sean Poche has retained his place as the number one agent in Double Bay for the 10th year in row thanks to his unsurpassed knowledge of the area, and his passion for the picturesque suburb.

Sean says, “Double Bay is such a beautiful place to live and in recent years is drawing ever strong interest from young professionals as well as downsizers thanks to its proximity to the city and harbour beaches. Recent results show how in-demand the area is with 5/31-33 William Street, Double Bay selling for over $4m, which has set a new record for the complex and, similarly, the sale of 8/19 Cooper Street, Double Bay set a new block record in February. Just last week, I sold a one-bedroom apartment at 11/534 New South Head Road, Double Bay for $950,000 as a new wave of young buyers vied for the apartment with 71 groups through during the campaign.”

We have a choice of great homes available in Double Bay including a newly launched apartment at 8/2 Holt Street, Double Bay. Sean says, “This is one of the best spots in the village, just around the corner from Bay Street’s dining scene and an easy walk down to the harbourfront. The first open for the tastefully renovated two-bedroom apartment will be tomorrow, Saturday 16th from 11-11:30am, and is bound to attract plenty of interest thanks to its lovely outlook and secure parking.”

Sean also has a sun-filled Art Deco penthouse on the market at 16/290 New South Head Road, Double Bay with gorgeous northerly views over the harbour to Manly and a lock-up garage on title which is scheduled for auction next week.

Finally, Jason Pantzer has a luxurious oversized designer apartment in the boutique contemporary Embassy at Redleaf for sale at 4/535 New South Head Road, Double Bay with a buyer’s guide of $2.4m. The pet-friendly two-bedroom apartment is perfect for downsizers and executives with quick and easy access to the city and idyllic Redleaf Pool and Blackburn Gardens just across the street.
