Buyers Agent McMahons Point

Buying Property in McMahons Point

McMahons Point is a small harbourside peninsula on Sydney’s Lower North Shore, about 3 kilometres from the CBD, flanked by Berrys Bay to the west and Lavender Bay to the east, and bordered by Waverton and North Sydney. It sits within the North Sydney Council local government area, with the tip of the peninsula, Blues Point, offering some of the most direct views of the Harbour Bridge and Opera House anywhere in Sydney.

Home to around 2,300 residents, McMahons Point is a medium to high-density suburb dominated by apartments, from low-rise Art Deco blocks to Mediterranean-style buildings closer to the water. Victorian terrace houses with wrought-iron balconies line Victoria Street and Blues Point Road, and sandstone cottages are scattered through the quieter pockets behind them.

Why buyers love McMahons Point

McMahons Point carries one of Sydney’s most argued-over pieces of architecture. Blues Point Tower, completed in 1962 to a design by Harry Seidler, was meant to be the first of eight towers in a modernist masterplan for the whole peninsula, intended to house up to 15,000 people. Only the one tower was ever built, and it became Australia’s tallest residential building at the time and one of the country’s first strata-titled apartment blocks. Buyers today come for what the rest of the peninsula stayed instead: a low-rise, walkable pocket with harbour views on almost every street and a wharf, train station and the CBD all within easy reach.

Access off-market properties in McMahons Point

We understand there are limited properties on the open market, which can make buying a home stressful, time consuming and frustrating if you miss out on an opportunity.

McMahons Point is a small peninsula with a fixed footprint, no room to expand, and a limited number of houses among its largely apartment-based stock. Whatever does come up, especially anything with genuine harbour views or period character, tends to move through established buyer and agent networks well before it reaches Domain or Realestate.com.au, which is why so many buyers turn to Cohen Handler to access off-market and pre-market opportunities.
