One of the things I love most about my job is scrolling and riffling through Domain to find the best properties for sale across the country. Whether it’s a tiny but clever studio apartment in Sydney with jaw-dropping harbour views or an architect-designed masterpiece with a private beach, the thrill of finding a unique listing is never lost on me. So here are the properties that have stopped me mid-scroll this week and that I have added straight to my shortlist on the Domain app.

By Alice StolzOctober 14, 2024What a contrarian room the laundry is. More often than not, it’s one of the smallest rooms in a house, but it’s surely the one that delivers the greatest output in any family home. It has to look good, but not too good (wasted money) and it must work hard, really hard. I’m mortified to add up just how many hours we spend in our laundries. In my own case, a household of five with three children, I reckon it’s around four hours a week, at least.

It seems hard to fathom, but the study – the room that many of us deemed done, dead and obsolete – has not only had a glow up, but, thanks to the pandemic, has also had a complete rebrand. And some four years on, home office spaces are still in high demand and are a feature many buyers are willing to pay a premium for.
