Premium Illawarra coastal homes attract Sydney money in back-to-back sales

Two waterfront homes in Shellharbour sold for $3.92 million and $3.6 million to separate Sydney buyers.

A four-bedroom home on Boollwarroo Parade sold for $3.92 million, with the buyers planning to use it as a holiday retreat. The 468-square-metre property sits above Shellharbour Ocean Pool and offers coastal views, a designer kitchen, swimming pool, spa and private lift.

A second four-bedroom home at Harbour Boulevard in nearby Shell Cove fetched $3.6 million, also to Sydney buyers seeking a weekender. The selling agent said high-end homes still move, but finding the right buyer can take time.

Both sales occurred within recent weeks.
