If this property looks like something out of a magazine, that’s because it is. The six-bedroom, four-bathroom 1880s Italianate estate at 75 Ocean Street Woollahra has been showcased in Architectural Digest and Vogue Living no less. Known as ‘Icilus’, the property is set over three levels on 853sqm, including a basement area with fully equipped gym with bathroom and is surrounded by formal gardens and alfresco dining areas that would look at home in Europe.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, every detail of this property has been considered, from the marble kitchen with top of the range Wolf appliances to the auto turntable parking, which makes navigating this vibrant part of the city so much easier. There’s also a spacious home office large enough for two and separate playroom or retreat packed with storage.
Temperatures are managed all year round thanks to air conditioning and hydronic heating, while the abundant natural light ensures a comfortable ambience throughout the day.
On the upper level, the main bedroom suite includes walk through dressing room and generous ensuite.
While the layout is perfectly placed for modern living, it’s the style of this house that will draw buyers in. Bespoke wallpapers, designer pendant lighting, Belgian steamed oak floors and marble fireplaces create a sense of opulence. Beautifully curated by Claire Delmar of CD Studio, spaces speak of bygone charm and contemporary elegance. The property has a price guide of $25 million.

For as little as $48,000, buyers can hold a three-bedroom luxury Eveleigh residence in Broadbeach, with completion not due until late 2028.

Buyers eyeing Eveleigh Broadbeach no longer need to find a full deposit to lock in an apartment.
Using a deposit bond, purchasers can secure one of the development’s 94 premium residences for as little as $48,000, holding their apartment until completion in late 2028 without tying up hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash.
It’s a structure that’s already proving popular. Rather than a full cash deposit of 5 or 10 per cent, buyers pay a one-off fee for a deposit bond, a financial guarantee issued by an approved provider that provides sellers with the same security as cash.
If the purchase completes as agreed, the bond simply expires.
For buyers with sufficient assets but who would rather keep their money working for them, whether that’s an investment portfolio, proceeds from another sale, or savings earning interest, the deposit bond removes the pressure to find a lump sum upfront.
The apartment is secured, the cash stays liquid, and settlement isn’t due for more than two years.
Designed by Rothelowman and developed by Hirsch & Faigen, with construction by Maxcon, Eveleigh is a 30-level tower delivering just four residences per floor across two- and three-bedroom layouts.
Rather than traditional wraparound balconies, living spaces are brought directly to the glass, so the ocean horizon becomes part of the everyday experience rather than something viewed from behind a rail.
Residents will have access to a north-facing pool, hot and cold plunge pools, wellness facilities and indoor and outdoor entertaining spaces, along with a rooftop residents’ lounge offering panoramic coastal views.
The timing suits a market that isn’t slowing down. Broadbeach has recorded capital growth of 20 to 25 per cent year-on-year in some segments over the past 12 months, with vacancy rates sitting around one per cent.
Two-bedroom luxury apartments are achieving $1,500 a week in rent, three-bedroom more than $2,000, on a permanent, long-term basis.
“Secure now with just $48,000 and look forward to your new home in late 2028,” says LJ Hooker Broadbeach principal Matt Conduit.
