The Changing Face Of Matraville

24 Mar 2023

Following significant upgrades to Heffron Park, Des Renford Aquatic Centre and Chifley Sports Reserve, the south-eastern suburb of Matraville has become increasingly sought-after by families upsizing from apartments in Coogee, Randwick and Bondi. Government funded plans to transform Matraville village into a vibrant and activated town centre has attracted new growth and development to the family friendly suburb. Flanked by Maroubra and Malabar Beaches on the southern side of Heffron Park, Matraville offers a quiet pace of life within easy reach of Malabar Headland National Park and the airport.

Our area specialists Christian West and Tom Sandy have a choice of two newly built designer homes that are paving the way for the gentrification of the suburb. Tom says, “Matraville offers young families more space and value than neighbouring suburbs like Maroubra. We’ve seen the appeal of the area grow rapidly especially in the last couple of years with the growth that’s taking place and the need for more space with shifting ways in which families live and work in post Covid times. The two newly built properties we have on the market offer superb turnkey opportunities with high-level finishes and functional family friendly floorplans in leafy parkside neighbourhoods.”

Fronting Barwon Park, 2B Clarence Street, Matraville is a luxurious four-bedroom home with stylish coastal inspired interiors, a landscaped garden with plunge pool and internal access to a triple lock-up garage. Offered for sale at $3.3m to $3.45m and just 600m to the shopping village, the beautifully appointed home offers every creature comfort from a dream kitchen and master suite to zoned air and Smart Home technology.

On the edge of Heffron Park and the new sports centre, 40 O’Connell Avenue, Matraville is a luxurious two-storey residence with finishes in White Oak, Elba marble and brass for a glamorous urban coastal aesthetic. Footsteps to Des Renford’s open-air pool, the four bedroom home comes with a buyer’s guide of $2.4m and is 2km to Maroubra and Malabar Beaches and close to top schools including the International French School, Mt Sinai College and Corpus Christi College.

Both properties will be open for inspection tomorrow so check out the full details or call Christian on 0432 741 888 or Tom on 0433 663 415 for further information.

This week the sales team secured 13 sales with an average price of $3.7m and listed 17 new properties.
