The centrepiece of Sydney’s Barangaroo district – Crown One Barangaroo – has almost completed sale of the luxury properties that inform Crown Residences.
Of the 82 elevated luxury properties, only a small selection of two, three- and four-bedroom residences remain available – as well as a duplex penthouse.
While the price remains undisclosed, the latter is set to run to a decent figure (large two-bedroom, two-bathroom residences are currently on from $9.5 million) and boasts jaw-dropping panoramic views of Sydney Harbour, 6-bedrooms, multiple living spaces, 6.5-metre double-height ceilings, a media room and a wine room.
Even with properties remaining, Crown Residences has shattered existing sales records, pointing to the strength and allure of the Australian prime property market, even during the pandemic.
“Crown Residences at One Barangaroo has achieved a record $650 million in sales including an unprecedented 12 transactions over $20 million to date,” states Erin van Tuil, partner Crown Residences at One Barangaroo. “Despite the pandemic, we are experiencing a record number of enquiries and sales are performing phenomenally well.”
Designed by award-winning British architecture firm WilkinsonEyre, Crown Sydney’s petal-like formation sees each residence unique in size and layout and complete with dual or triple aspect views of Sydney Harbour and its surrounds.
Residents will also have access to hotel services from Crown Sydney – such as daily maid services, the hire of a private chef or wine sommelier, along with access to all the amenities such as the Balinese inspired resident’s pool, a luxury gym and more.
Six-star hotel features aside, the residences also rest above what is set to become Sydney’s bets new luxury dining quarter, the planned precinct set to feature, song others, Nobu, Woodcut by Ross and Sunny Lusted, a’Mare by Alessandro Pavoni, as well as sustainable local options from Michelin starred chef Clare Smyth which residents will be able to order up to their homes.

A Mid-Century Modern home in Carmel, California, hit the market on Friday for just the third time in 70 years with a listing price of $4.25 million.
Located in the community of Carmel Highlands, the house is just steps from the coastline and comes with private beach access, according to the listing with Tim Allen of Coldwell Banker Realty in Northern California. Allen was not immediately available for comment.
The property last changed hands in 2010 when Hollywood screenwriter Richard Outten bought it for $990,000, public records show. Outten penned the screenplays for the 1992 movie “Pet Sematary Two” and the 1987 film “Lionheart,” and created the story for the 2012 “Journey to the Center of the Earth” sequel, “Journey 2: The Mysterious Island.” He was not immediately available for comment.
Built in 1953, the home’s mid-century charm has been preserved over the years while still being updated for modern living. Interior details include wood paneling, exposed-brick walls and beamed ceilings.
The single-level house has 1,785 square feet, which includes three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Though not directly on the water, large windows flanking the adobe-brick, wood-burning fireplace look out at the ocean.
Sliding glass doors create a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living. Outside, there’s a large patio surrounded by lush landscaping, and there are also meandering paths through sustainable succulent gardens, according to the listing.
In addition to its close proximity to the beach, the home is a 10-minute walk from downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea.
As of July, the median list price in Carmel is $3.1 million, up 8% from last year, even as active listings have increased 50% year over year, according to data from Realtor.com.
