Five luxury homes we love that are for sale now

A view of nature can make all the difference - just being able to take a moment and look out the window to see a tree, a garden, a bushland setting or rolling hills.

Smart home design brings light and views to the residents to enjoy throughout their day. Each of these luxury homes has plenty of other mod cons, from swimming pools to a full vineyard, plus daydream-worthy windows to match.

39 Ness Avenue, Dulwich Hill NSW

This new family home has a clever design that draws in the light, from the floor-to-ceiling glass next to the staircase, to the use of skylights from the al fresco dining area to the dressing room. The swimming pool is framed by a striking stone wall and calming garden. The kitchen has a stone island and butler’s pantry.

Penthouse, 705 Orrong Road, Toorak VIC

This bright, north-facing Toorak penthouse uses oversizes windows throughout to full effect, bringing in the light and letting the occupants look out over the treetops. It’s ideal for hosting, with a kitchen boasting Carrara marble benchtops, Miele appliances and a butler’s pantry, plus living/dining area that spills out to a wraparound balcony. There’s a home office and four car spaces.

41 Grove Crescent, Toowong QLD

Visitors may not be able to guess from the street, but this reimagined home now has eight bedrooms separated into a guest wing, a children’s level and a main suite with nursery.

And there’s a car showroom, for motoring enthusiasts.
