The King Of Convenience

25 Mar 2022

Sandwiched between Randwick and Maroubra, Kingsford is one of the inner-east’s most connected suburbs that is loved not only as a community hub but for its close proximity to the city and beaches. Buyers are discovering its broad appeal as its home to not only apartments but some beautiful period residences and is within easy reach of Randwick’s world-class health and education precinct.

Our Kingsford specialist Tristan Oddi says, “Kingsford is a great alternative to neighbouring suburbs like Randwick and Rosebery and offers much greater accessibility with the light rail connecting the inner east to Surry Hills and the CBD. We’re seeing a lot of young families and professionals, especially in the medical and science industries, gravitate towards Kingsford as it has so much to offer including great schools and a vibrant dining scene. We’ve had two great sales in Kingsford last week with 23 Kennedy Street, Kingsford selling to a young family upsizing from an apartment in Waverley and 86/42 Harbourne Road, Kingsford being snapped up by a young scientist working at UNSW.”

Tristan’s new listing at 487 Anzac Parade, Kingsford is a beautifully renovated freestanding Edwardian home on 330sqm with double parking and child-friendly gardens. Tristan says, “What’s particularly appealing about this family home is that it’s one of only a few tucked away in a leafy enclave off Anzac Parade and although fully renovated retains its authentic charm. There’s also an upside as there’s potential to add a second storey with plans currently in the DA process.”

We have three other top properties on the market to choose from. Grace-Le-Francke has listed a boutique family sized townhome at 8/25-27 Harbourne Road, Kingsford which has been newly refurbished and features its own private street entry and double parking. Alexander Phillips’ listing at 5 Borrodale Road, Kingsford is set on a huge 687sqm level block with a 26m frontage. The classic Californian bungalow is comfortable as is but offers so much potential in a fantastic spot around the corner from Kensington Park with close proximity to UNSW and Randwick. 91 Rainbow Street, Kingsford listed off market by Courtney Wong is a freestanding parkside home situated across from Paine Reserve sitting on a level 304sqm approx. block featuring a large backyard, double parking and dual street access.

This week the sales team secured 25 sales with an average price of $2.8m and listed 11 new properties; check out the full details of our listings below. Take care, stay safe and keep connected.
