Agent's description

An outstanding opportunity exists in a prime North Bondi cul-de-sac. This elevated dual-residence offering, being sold in one line, captures magnificent far-reaching views across Bondi's rooftops to the ocean. The possibilities are boundless. Well-presented and comfortable as is, both residences offer exciting scope to personalise, with the elevated setting and sweeping ocean views providing an extraordinary backdrop for the future. Live in one while generating additional income from the other, update the existing homes to enhance their appeal and add value, or bring your vision to life by reimagining the property as one sublime family beach house (STCA). An existing external lift structure remains in place but is disused. Perfectly positioned within a stroll of village shops, popular cafés, quality schools and buses, the property is also just minutes from Rose Bay and the iconic Bondi Beach.

What the agent's wording really means

“Two single-level residences offered for sale in one line on approx 490 sqm of land”The purchase includes both independent flats under a single title rather than separate strata lots.
“Existing external lift structure remains in place but is disused”The inclinator or external glass elevator shown on the hillside does not operate and would require repair, recommissioning, or replacement. Cost and feasibility of recommissioning or replacing the cliffside lift mechanism
“Superb scope to create one magnificent family home (STCA)”Converting the two apartments into a single dwelling is possible but requires municipal council development approval. Waverley Council planning requirements and development approvals for amalgamating the duplex

Best fit for

Who this property suits, and who it doesn't, based on reviewed listing information.

Investors: Two self-contained residences on one title provide immediate dual rental income streams in a premier North Bondi location.

Multigenerational households: Provides fully independent living quarters across two levels for extended families.

Renovators: Original condition interiors and dual layouts offer enormous upside to renovate or convert into a luxury single dwelling.

Buyers needing lift access: The existing cliffside external lift is disused and non-operational, requiring extensive external stair climbing to reach the dwellings.

Buyers needing single-level living: The residence sits on a steep hillside above street level, requiring multiple flights of stairs from the entry-level garages.

The guide price isn't always the real price

The market is shifting fast. Some agents are underquoting to pull buyers in, while others overquote to win the listing. Either way, the advertised guide is an unreliable starting point.

The system is a mess, and we're watching a large portion of buyers overspend on homes we know could have been bought for less, based on our conversations with the selling agents.

What still needs checking

This brief summarises the property's listing information. The items below haven't been independently verified and should be checked before you make an offer.

What this brief hasn't checked

01Internal floor area: Total liveable m²

02Year built / renovation date: Age and scope of works not confirmed

03Title search: Easements, covenants, restrictions on use

04Building condition: Structural, electrical, plumbing, waterproofing not inspected

05Contract terms: Settlement period, deposit, cooling-off provisions

06Zoning and heritage controls: Knockdown or extension (STCA) depend on local council rules. Check with a Moove Buyers Agent.

07Home Inclusions: Ensure the listing description, the contract and what you see on site all match.

08Suburb stats: Median and clearance figures are Moove estimates; verify via a Moove Buyers Agent

What we'd still check before bidding or making an offer

01Building and pest inspection: commission an independent report before you bid or exchange.

02Contract and title review: have a solicitor check the title, easements, covenants and settlement terms.

03Council planning check: zoning, heritage controls and DA history with the local Council.

04Check inclusions on the contract: Don't assume everything you see at the open is included in the sale. Double check inclusions and any specific exclusions.

05Inspect what the listing doesn't show and compare the building report to what you see on the ground.

06What are they hiding? Notice recent repairs or maintenance? Take a look closer, ask the right questions and determine if there was a problem or it's just a refresh.

Moove fills these gaps through inspection attendance, agent calls, solicitor review, and on-the-ground experience in the suburb.
