VAUCLUSE CLIFFTOP SANCTUARY ABOVE THE PACIFIC
A Vaucluse masterpiece by MHNDU with interiors by Poco Designs brings architectural ambition and breathtaking ocean outlook to the auction block.
2 min
There are ocean views, and then there is this.
Positioned on a dramatic clifftop in Vaucluse, 8 Ray Street doesn’t just face the Pacific, it commands it. With nothing between the home and the horizon but open water, this is the kind of outlook that buyers spend decades searching for and rarely find.
The residence itself is the work of MHNDU, one of Sydney’s most respected architectural practices, with interiors conceived by Poco Designs.
Together, the collaboration has produced a home that is as thoughtfully resolved inside as it is spectacular in its setting.
Soaring ceilings and expansive glazing open every principal room to the ocean panorama, while a series of indoor-outdoor transitions dissolve the boundary between interior life and coastal landscape. Light arrives differently here depending on the season — sharp and glittering in summer, golden and low in the cooler months.
Across five bedrooms and six bathrooms, the home offers scale without sacrifice. The brief has clearly been to create a property that functions as a family residence without ever retreating into mere functionality. Two car spaces complete the picture.
Vaucluse has long been synonymous with Sydney’s most coveted residential addresses, and Ray Street occupies one of the suburb’s most elevated and protected positions. The clifftop location is permanent — no development will interrupt this outlook — a fact that buyers at this level understand immediately and price accordingly.
The suburb’s median for five-bedroom homes currently sits at $11.725 million, with 50 transactions recorded this year and an average of 43 days on market. At that level, the properties that generate the most sustained buyer interest are those with something genuinely unrepeatable about them. A never-to-be-built-out ocean position qualifies on every measure.
8 Ray Street is listed with David Malouf, Director, Double Bay at Highland Property, and Steven Chen of The Agency, and will go to auction. Private inspections are available by appointment, with a scheduled open on Thursday 18 June at 5:30 pm.

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.
