“Palm Beach meets Vaucluse on 1,100 sqm” at 1 Fitzwilliam Rd, Vaucluse.
A $15m family dream home in Vaucluse? A $20m Tamarama beach house? What about a $30m Point Piper penthouse? Just some of what awaits in the post-school-holiday ‘trickle’.
Some of Sydney’s top agents aren’t seeing any sign of a flood of property over coming weeks, though there are certainly a few delicious offerings.
“It’s definitely not a surge — it seems pretty tight,” says TRG founder Gavin Rubinstein.
“But that’s a good thing for sellers because it will keep prices solid.”
Among Rubinstein’s mid-spring choices are a four-bedroom home at 1 Fitzwilliam Rd, Vaucluse described as “Palm Beach meets Vaucluse on 1,100sqm” with a $15m guide; and “Sydney’s best penthouse” in the Vilon development at 23 Wolseley Rd, Point Piper for $30m.

Meanwhile, a five-bedroom “world-class Tamarama oasis” at 30 Wolaroi Crescent, owned by events organiser Antony Spanbrook and his partner, Chris Yeo, has just hit the market via The Agency’s Ben Collier.
It’s understood there are expectations above $20m.
The couple, who are making a tree-change to the South Coast, have done a kitchen reno since buying the Tony Masters-designed home in a front-row position of Tamarama Beach for $6.8m in 2011.

There are hopes of more than $20m.
Rubinstein didn’t want to discuss the owner of his Vaucluse offering, though records show it’s owned by the CEO and co-founder of tech company Accordant, Stephen Knowles, and his wife, Kaye.
Regarding the house, he said: “It’s been completely rebuilt internally … there’s the pool and every level of the house is sunny, private and overlooks the harbour.”
Of the 400sqm penthouse, he says: “There is nothing like it — it’s over two levels, with an internal lift and there’s nothing else brand new in Point Piper that offers panoramic views east and west.”
Rubinstein sold the sub-penthouse, which is half the size, for $16.5m about three months ago.
And his view of the market? “There is a severe lack of quality options for buyers … I sold a home in Brighton Boulevard, North Bondi for $10.1m and a house in Tarrant Ave in Bellevue Hill last weekend for between $13m and $14m and we had three buyers competing on each of them.”

Another agent, Richard Faludi of Raine and Horne Double Bay, who is selling next week’s Wentworth Courier House of the Week, a five-bedroom home with pool on a 949sqm block at 112 New South Head Rd, Vaucluse that has an $11m price guide for a November 3 auction, agrees the market is set to stay tight.
“Last year when the market was flying, there were a lot of opportunistic sellers,” he said.
“In the current climate, unless someone has a strong impetus to sell, they’re not going to.”
Faludi also didn’t want to discuss the owners of the New South Head Rd property, though records show it’s owned by Ilona Brooks, marketing and philanthropy manager at Pinchgut Opera, and her husband, Michael Simpson.
