Homeowners keen to sell have rushed to put their property on the market with the latest PropTrack listings report showing the total listings in capital cities has jumped 55.6%.

The flood of listings around the country is the largest in January since 2014 — up 24.2% with Melbourne up 67.5% and Sydney up 101.5% compared to last year.

New listings across other capital cities were also strong with year-on-year increases in Darwin (45.2%), Perth 33.9%, Canberra 20.1% and Brisbane 19.7%.

Regional property has lagged and continues to be in short supply with new listings trending down 6.7% from December to January yet remain 11.9% higher than they did in January 2021.

According to PropTrack economist Angus Moore, pumped up levels of seller confidence is bringing more property to the market.

“The growth in new listings in January comes despite the Omicron wave. This is in stark contrast to mid-2021 when the Delta wave (and associated lockdowns) curtailed seller confidence in affected states,” says Mr Moore.

“Sellers are wasting no time as they look to cash in on last year’s price growth and high buyer demand.”

A heritage-listed Federation estate with tennis court, pool and studio, Marika offers timeless elegance and modern family living in the heart of Hunters Hill.

A grand old dame who has stood the test of time, Marika is a slice of Hunters Hill heritage transformed for modern-day living. 

Meticulously renovated between 1981 and 1983, with several updates since, Marika made it onto the heritage register in 1999 just in time to signal a new millennium. Today, the modernised mansion is on the market with an auction price guide of $7.5 million, marketed through BresicWhitney’s Nicholas McEvoy. 

“The home is a fantastic opportunity for a discerning buyer to get a grand family estate-style property, with a pool, tennis court and grounds, for a price that’s much more affordable than expected,” McEvoy says. 

Sitting pretty on the corner of Augustine St and Ryde Rd, the stately Federation residence  occupies a sprawling 2472sq m block, which was once part of a 30-acre land grant handed to Frederick Augustus Hayne in 1835. In 1902, he sold it to Dr Leopold Augustus Carter, a local dentist. Two years later, Marika, then known as “Ryde”, appeared in the famed Sands Directory – the social media of its era – a symbol of its architectural significance. 

Surrounded by manicured gardens with sculpted hedges, a pool and full tennis court, Marika is a prime example of Federation style with contemporary elements.  

Inside, the single-level five-bedroom home showcases intricate craftsmanship, from its decorative gables, period archways and bay windows to the coloured glass panels on multiple doors and windows. Elegant formal rooms have high ornate ceilings that are a preserved nod to Marika’s past, while the more modern spaces are relaxed family-friendly zones. 

Thanks to a pavilion-style addition, the L-shaped layout measures 450sq m internally and wraps around a central courtyard that plays host to the alfresco dining terrace and pool, while a wide veranda frames the original front rooms of the house.  

Primary living spaces, including the dining area with integrated bar, open to the great outdoors via stacker doors and the 21st century kitchen has a large island bench and a butler’s pantry with hidden access to the triple lock up garage. There is also a dedicated media room, a library or home office, plus a separate family room with a beautiful bay window. 

All bedrooms feature built-ins while the main retreat, and a second bedroom, have shower ensuites. The shared bathroom houses convenient twin vanities and a freestanding bathtub. 

Beyond the interiors, Marika delivers resort amenities with a full-sized, floodlit tennis court, the pool, barbecue terrace and a self-contained studio apartment with the added bonus of Harbour Bridge glimpses. 

Added extras include a converted loft storage space, a large laundry with side yard access, ducted air conditioning, multiple fireplaces, solar panels with a battery backup and modern insulation. 

Accessed via Augustine St, Marika is close to St Joseph’s College, Boronia Park shops, local ovals and city transport. 

Marika at 59 Augustine St, Hunters Hill is set to go under the hammer on April 26, on site at 9am with a price guide of $7.5 million. The listing is with Nicholas McEvoy and Narelle Scott of BresicWhitney Hunters Hill.
