Good value homes in Sydney for less than $2 million

18 Florence Avenue, Denistone
$1.5 million +
7 bedrooms, 3 bathroom, 2 car spaces

Denistone offers many larger properties, and the average price for a five bedroom house there is just over $1.9 million – though many have larger block sizes than this one’s 790 square metres. The seven bedrooms sprawl across the three levels of this house, it has a self-contained lower level that could be potentially rented for $400 a week and there is a large swimming pool in the backyard.

69 Ramsay Street, Haberfield
$1.75 million +
4 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 1 car space

Another Federation four bedroom house a block away on Stanton Road sold for $2.41 million in July. This one has a smaller block on a busier road, but it’s in far better condition: the other house needed complete renovations, whereas this house has a modern entertaining rear and a swimming pool. The light rail’s two blocks away.

7 Nelson Street, Sans Souci
$1.5 million +
3 bed, 3 bath, 2 car

Buyers fork out around $1.7 million for a house of this size on the Sandringham half of the peninsula. This recently renovated dual-level house is positioned three blocks from the St George Motorboat Club and marina. Two walls have been knocked down to create a large open living space and the low-maintenance gardens are landscaped. The result is terrific.

17 West Street, Paddington
$1.5 million +
4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 0 car spaces

About a million dollars less than Paddington’s median price for a four bedroom house, this tri-level terrace is on a 164-square-metre block with a large grassy backyard – a rarity so close to the city. The terrace needs to be renovated throughout and the balcony returned from its current status as a sunroom. Oxford Street’s bookstores and the Verona Cinema are just a block away.

Inspect: Sat and Wed, 10am-10.30am
