< 1 min
If there’s anything we’ve learned from the past few years, it’s how to balance connection and seclusion.
This property at 14 Lancewood Drive, Dural in the heart of Sydney’s Hills District offers the best of both worlds. Surrounded by lush bushland, the 2.02ha site includes a gracious four-bedroom home, a classic rectangular pool with purpose-built pool house, as well as two separate outbuildings and lock-up double garage, all set in beautifully maintained gardens.
Indeed, there’s not much reason to leave home, with easy access to a spacious north-facing open plan living area, as well as a generous separate drawing room with bay window. There’s something of the homestead feel about this property, with the ground floor bedrooms all opening onto the wraparound verandas offering ample outdoor living space, as well as providing thermal comfort to the interior spaces. A separate study with French doors onto the veranda will appeal to those who have adopted the hybrid working model.
On the upper floor, it’s the ultimate parents’ retreat with a large corner bedroom leading onto a full ensuite and spacious walk-in robe. The perfect hideaway, the bedrooms also leads onto a separate library which, in turn, leads onto a media room.
Ideal for quiet nights in front of the stone fireplace or for hosting a crowd of family and friends, this property is the getaway you can enjoy without leaving the city.

The skyline at Sydney’s Homebush is about to change, and The Maybelle is leading the charge.
The new residential tower has officially opened sales from Level 9, offering one, two and three-bedroom residences priced from $560,000, with move-in slated for late 2026.
What sets The Maybelle apart is its position. Residents on higher floors will wake up to sweeping city skyline and Harbour Bridge views.
The building overlooks the leafy calm of Ismay Reserve, giving owners the rare combination of a genuine outlook and a sense of green space, without compromising on either.
Location is doing plenty of the heavy lifting, too.
The Maybelle sits moments from the popular Homebush dining and lifestyle precinct, and is well connected to Strathfield, Sydney Olympic Park and the Sydney CBD, making it a strong option for buyers who want city access without giving up a slower pace at home.
For buyers considering their options in Sydney’s inner west, the appeal is straightforward: a genuine outlook, a connected address and an entry price that remains competitive for the location.
