Flanked by Centennial Park and the eastern beaches of Bronte, Clovelly and Coogee, the lifestyle appeal of Randwick has made it one of the east’s most popular suburbs. Families love the proximity to great schools and outdoor space, professionals find commuting to the city a breeze and the hospital and university precincts are big drawcards for students and doctors. We currently have eight properties in Randwick on the market from luxurious family homes to boutique apartments.

The North Randwick precinct, between Frenchmans Road and Queens Park, is one of the most sought-after pockets with a number of great schools as well as close proximity to Centennial Park. Over the past decade, Frenchmans Road has transformed from a cluster of shops into a vibrant neighbourhood village with great cafes, bake bars and organic grocery stores. Pub baron Justin Hemmes of Merivale has recently acquired the popular local watering hole, affectionately known as The Dog, on the corner of Frenchmans and Clovelly Roads. The lovely old heritage pub is a mainstay in the community and its upcoming transformation heralds new growth for the area.

Doreen Wilson has listed a fantastic family home on the best street in the patch at 5 Caerleon Crescent, Randwick. Doreen says, “This peaceful cul-de-sac tucked away behind Frenchmans Road is very tightly held and is perfect for families as there’s no through traffic so kids still play out in the street and it’s a short walk to a choice of great schools. The current owners have held the property for 36 years, raising their children and renovating the home to accommodate their growing family. The four-bedroom home offers a great blend of classic and contemporary with the rear opening out to a tropical backyard escape that’s incredibly private and perfect for entertaining. It’s in catchment for Randwick Public School and OLSH College with excellent transport links to the city and beaches.”

Daniel Cachia’s new listing at 13 Earl Street, Randwick is right on the doorstep of Queens and Centennial Parks. The newly renovated freestanding Federation home features a timeless design sensibility with high-end finishes, a luxurious master suite and a double lock-up garage at the rear.

On the beach side, near the border of Clovelly, Alexander Phillips has listed a stylishly renovated family sized semi at 140 Clovelly Road, Randwick with a self-contained lower level retreat and sunny garden ideal for families. On the other side of Randwick, opposite the Wansey Road light rail stop and just 350m to Belmore Road’s retail precinct, Christian West has listed a semi-sized apartment with leafy views over the racecourse at 5/116 Alison Road, Randwick.

It’s been a busy start to the year with the team securing 50 sales in 43 days with 18 sales this week with an average price of $2.23m and listed 21 new properties. Take care, stay safe and keep connected.
