Renowned as the dress-circle of Randwick, the leafy pocket of Randwick North is flanked by Queens and Centennial Parks making it a perfect address for the active family with great schools all around and easy access to the east’s best beaches. Although tightly held, we have a fantastic choice of homes in Randwick suited to everyone from the young family and downsizer to the renovator and first homebuyer with now the perfect time to buy and be settled in before summer.

9 Roscrea Street, Randwick is a beautifully renovated double-fronted semi around the corner from Frenchmans Road village and local hotspots The Dog and Bake Bar. Freestanding to the north and set on a deep 330sqm approx, the three-bedroom home is a haven of light, space and tranquility with a heated 12m pool and cabana as centrepiece in the lush backyard. Perfect as is, the family classic comes with plans for a lock-up garage and second storey addition that are due for imminent approval making it an ideal choice for the growing family.

An ideal alternative to a semi and suited to both the young family and downsizer, Daniel Cachia’s listing at 6/89-91 Dangar Street, Randwick offers a sense of space that’s rare to find in strata living. The terrace-style townhome features its own private entry and invaluable double garaging in a prized neighbourhood, 500m to the Govett Street Gates to Centennial Park. Just around the corner, Daniel’s listing at 21 Wentworth Street, Randwick is a wide-fronted Queen Anne style corner semi built in 1906 and available for the first time in 40 years. The two-storey home’s dual level layout, period features and rear lane access to parking deliver the ideal footprint for renovation with scope for a lock-up garage with studio above (STCA). Directly opposite the historic park grounds, 250m to the famous Duck Pond, the freestanding Federation home at 33 Darley Road, Randwick is set on a level 660sqm approx with a 12m frontage with plenty of room for a pool in the huge garden and scope to add a level maximising the park views (STCA).

We also have some fabulous properties on the Clovelly side of Randwick and within easy reach of the sheltered beach and Coogee’s surf culture.

One of six in the tightly held Kalua, the one-bedroom apartment is set on the ground floor with easy access to a lovely shared garden. If one apartment isn’t enough, why not buy a whole block? On the other side of Clovelly village, 54 Bishops Avenue, Randwick is a newly renovated block of four semi-like apartments for sale in one line making it a standout opportunity for the SMSF or multi-generational buyer with double parking just 100m to Clovelly Road’s cafes, artisan bakeries and Pilates studios.
