High windows that let the light stream in, places to congregate, a backdrop of greenery and a retreat at the end of the day.<\/p>\n These four homes are diverse, from inner Sydney to the coast, from three bedrooms up to five, from period to contemporary – but they\u2019re all standouts.<\/p>\n 2A Owen Street, North Bondi NSW\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n The unassuming facade of this coastal North Bondi home hides a stylish three-bedder with a real gem of a garden. The glossy kitchen leads through the living space to an al fresco dining and barbecue area framed by tall trees and bamboo – but down a few steps there\u2019s a cedar-lined hot tub to enjoy, as well as a fire pit. The main bedroom has a sunny treetop outlook and a balcony.<\/p>\n 5 Holden Street, Northwood NSW\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n This three-level home offers its new owners the choice – sit on the upstairs balcony and admire the boats bobbing on Woodford Bay, or sit on the downstairs balcony and do the same thing? There\u2019s a conservatory as well as multiple living spaces and a heated pool. There are five bedrooms, a wine cellar and two parking spaces.<\/p>\n 4 Farmer Street, Kiama NSW\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n Calling Sydneysiders dreaming of a coastal change: this Kiama home might at first glance appear to be a glamorous holiday home, but it has main character energy. The dramatic swimming pool comes with water features and glowing lights, there\u2019s a huge terrace with somewhere to dine and somewhere to lounge about, and a home theatre room complete with stars in the ceiling. There\u2019s a home office, for those who have decided to make the move.<\/p>\n
