Five luxury homes we love that are for sale right now

Looking for your next home? Here are our top picks.

16 Dock Road, Birchgrove NSW

The rooftop deck offers wow factor at this stylish Birchgrove residence, ideal for relaxing or entertaining. And once the owner wants a change of scene, there’s a landscaped al fresco dining area with heated swimming pool, a cosy courtyard or another balcony to choose from. There’s a parents’ wing, a library and a self-contained studio.

49 Park Road, Middle Park VIC 

This double-fronted Victorian residence retains period touches on the facade and in the elegant fireplace details, but has had a smart transformation inside. The striking curved stone in the kitchen is repeated through the living space, which flows out to an entertainer’s deck with pool. Don’t miss the hidden courtyard next to the en suite.

155 Bittern Dromana Road, Merricks North VIC 

This peninsula retreat with rammed earth frontage is set into the landscape on a spacious block of almost 4300 square metres, to get away from it all. From some angles the top level seems almost to float over the 20-metre heated lap pool. The oversized windows, feature walls and fire pit turn heads. There’s a self-contained pool house or studio and two main suites.

3/11-15 Guilfoyle Avenue, Double Bay NSW

This three-bedroom apartment in a sought-after location is one of only seven in the building. Admire the tree-lined street framed by the facade’s arches from the dining room or venture out to the loggia-style al fresco entertaining terrace. There’s stainless steel Miele appliances if the new owner wishes to cook, but it’s close to a range of top restaurants.

1/7 William Street, Noosaville QLD 

This coastal chic residence features a dramatic external spiral staircase from the pool area to the balcony, flowing inside to the lounge and dining area. Head up another level to find three bedrooms and more of the beach palette. It’s all wrapped in a verdant garden and close to the Noosa River.
