The transition of Double Bay from a genteel harbourside suburb into a fashionable lifestyle hub is attracting a younger demographic drawn to its fantastic dining scene, great nightlife and idyllic boutique beaches. Just 4km to the CBD and serviced by excellent transport links, Double Bay retains a village charm with a cosmopolitan feel that makes it a great place to live. Our Double Bay specialist Sean Poche, the no1 agent in the suburb, has a choice of beautiful apartments on the market that will appeal to both the young professional market and downsizers alike. Sean says, “There’s no doubt that the market is a transitional stage but Double Bay tends to be more resilient than most and performs better than others during market fluxes.”

With magical views over the harbour as a captivating backdrop, 6/532 New South Head Road, Double Bay is set on the north-east rear corner of the elegant ‘Lyndhurst’ with direct access through lush park-like gardens to the harbourfront. Sean says, “The meticulous renovation of this Art Deco beauty delivers a perfect fusion of classic elegance and bespoke luxury with views that will never be built out and a sense of peace and privacy that’s rare to find so close to the action. Initial interest has been great with over 30 buyers inspecting the two-bedroom apartment in the first week of the launch. It’s little wonder as the location is perfect with Redleaf Pool just around the corner and easy ferry access to the city making day to day living a dream.”

On the other side of the village, 2/29 Ocean Street, Double Bay is set on the ground floor of the tightly held Village Towers, 200m to the village heart. Sean says, “This is a great opportunity for those looking to make their mark with secure level entry from an upgraded foyer and level access to parking a big bonus. Comfortable as is with a bright north-east aspect and tree-framed balcony, there’s so much potential here with scope to transform as others in the building have done.”

Charlie Beaumont has listed a boutique Art Deco apartment that offers a winning blend of harbourside appeal and village convenience at 9/531 New South Head Road, Double Bay. One of 12 in a secure block opposite Redleaf Pool and Blackburn Gardens, the beautifully renovated apartment is brushed with a refined European ambiance and opens to a charming balcony with city views. A superb semi alternative, the 100sqm approx apartment comes with the bonus of two long-term leased car spaces in a neighbouring building.
