Darlinghurst Road, Darlinghurst, NSW
Our client engaged Cohen Handler to buy their first home.
Thomas Alpe secured this Art Deco courtyard apartment in The Westbury, Darlinghurst, during its public campaign.
Private courtyards are uncommon in inner-city apartments at this entry point, where outdoor space usually means a small balcony, if there’s any at all.
Art Deco buildings in Darlinghurst often offer solid construction and generous room proportions compared with many newer developments.
Older strata buildings also need a careful review of the owners corporation’s records, sinking fund and planned works before a buyer commits.
For a first-home buyer, Thomas’s role was to assess value against comparable sales, negotiate the price and guide the client through a process they hadn’t been through before.
The client is now in their first home, in one of Darlinghurst’s established Art Deco buildings.
