The nicest homes in Sydney aren’t simply palatial in their proportions or extravagant in their fit-outs. The best of Sydney property is all about location, and at 82 New Beach Road, Darling Point, you’re getting one of the best locations in the entire city.
With 22 metres of harbour frontage and uninterrupted views of the one and only Harbour Bridge, there aren’t many better blocks that money can buy. If that wasn’t enough, its true north-facing position guarantees immaculate light pouring into the home throughout the day, and is one of just six waterfront homes in Darling Point that enjoy this direction.
The residence doesn’t have decades of history behind it, or a legacy of Australia’s blue-blooded families calling it home, but as a new build, 82 New Beach Road, Darling Point has all the trimmings you’d expect from a property of this calibre. It was only recently completed and had design input from the team at Polly Harbison Design for its spectacular wraparound balcony, as well as world-class gardens from the renowned Will Dangar.

All counted, the home features five bedrooms (three of which enjoy ensuites) across two levels, and six bathrooms in total, making it an ideal home for a prominent Sydney family. The open-plan ground floor layout includes several enormous living areas that capitalise on the spectacular view, while linking the kitchen and dining spaces. A lavish island bench and butler’s kitchen firmly centre the home around dining, while a gym and home office complete a sumptuous lifestyle offering.
The rear gardens are the perfect place to enjoy the last light of each day, thanks to its substantial lawn, sundeck and one of the nicest infinity-edge pools I’ve ever seen in a residential property. With the rear lawn almost meeting the harbour, there’s also a private set of stairs to the water’s edge so you can pull your boat directly up to the rear of the home.
As far as new builds go in Australia, there honestly can’t be many that would be able to compete with 82 New Beach Road, Darling Point. Not only in terms of the quality of its interior, and the thoughtfulness of its design, but the priceless location it enjoys overlooking Sydney harbour. It’s currently on the market represented by the team at Sotheby’s International Realty, with data from Domain showing an asking price of $70 million.
