The east coast has so much to offer families looking for a connected and active outdoor lifestyle but one of the most sought-after addresses is undoubtedly the South Bondi precinct. Tucked away between Tamarama Beach and Icebergs Pool, the precinct has transformed into a buzzing lifestyle hub with a cluster of local hangouts and cafes with a health-conscious vibe and a real neighbourhood feel. You don’t have to venture far with the south end of Bondi Road offering everything from organic grocery stores and artisan bakeries to tapas bars, burger joints and top Italian restaurants. There’s also mainstays like the Fruitologist, Kemenys, The One That Got Away and Sam the Butcher so you don’t even need the car to do your weekly shop!

We had two fantastic homes on Tamarama Street on the market this week, but one sold prior to auction last night. Tamarama House by Chapman Architecture at 40 Tamarama Street, Tamarama was snapped up after only a week on the market for above $7.25m setting a new record for Tamarama’s signature street. The good news is we still have two family homes on offer in the precinct, both with level access to Bondi Road’s cafe hub and eat street.

Kenji Fukushima has listed a renovated three-bedroom semi at 30 Tamarama Street, Tamarama, just 350m to South Bondi village and walking distance to three top surf beaches and comes with a buyer’s guide of $2.8m. Kenji says, “It’s a really tightly held pocket and one of the best spots for families offering superb walkability as well as easy access to great schools and everything from adventure playgrounds like the one at Marks Park and Nippers at Bronte Beach. A three-bedroom layout and level landscaped gardens is ideal for families and it’s freestanding to the north side with the upside of adding a level in the future, subject to approval, as many homes on the street have done.”

New to the market this week, and just around the corner, is 61 Avoca Street, Bondi which is set on a wide no-through avenue renowned for its friendly neighbourhood spirit. It’s a snapshot of old-Australia where kids still play on the street and the houses light up in a celebrated annual Christmas display. The architect-redesigned two storey home retains its pretty Victorian cottage facade but the interiors reveal a streamlined contemporary take on relaxed beachside living.

Both homes will be open for inspection tomorrow with 61 Avoca Street open from 11.15am to 11.45am and 30 Tamarama Street open from 12.15pm to 12.45pm so there’s time between the inspections to grab a coffee and a bit to eat on Bondi Road. We look forward to seeing you there!

This week the sales team secured 13 sales with an average price of $3m and listed 11 new properties. Take care, stay safe and keep connected.
