Two properties have rewritten Hunters Hill’s record books setting respective benchmarks across differing housing categories.
A $5.05m auction sale set a new suburb record for a luxury duplex property, the other sale was a street record of $4m for a rebuild opportunity. The latter had last sold for $61,000 in 1976.
Raine and Horne Hunters Hill achieved the two results said to be a testament to the suburb’s broad buyer appeal and long-term capital growth.
Emma Challen principal and selling agent of Raine and Horne Hunters Hill, secured the luxury duplex suburb-record $5.05m at auction on Saturday for 10A Earl St.

With city skyline views, the double-brick residence affords luxury low-maintenance living with premium finishes. A lift services the home with multiple living zones. There is also a plunge pool, terraces and parking for up to three cars.
The four-bedroom property was said to have drawn strong inquiry from downsizers and families with teenagers or part-time-at-home children, seeking exceptional design and convenience without the upkeep of a large estate.
“Most of the buyers have teenagers, so they don’t need a big backyard or space for a trampoline, but there are two additional large rooms for a home gym, games room or home theatre,” Ms Challen said.
“This home set a new benchmark for duplex living in Hunters Hill.
“The craftsmanship, attention to detail and views were unmatched, and buyers recognised the value immediately.”

The second was a street record for a rebuild opportunity of a 1960s home that had been held since 1976.
Offered for the first time in nearly 50 years, the four-bedroom house on a 722 sqm parcel at 28 Rocher Ave sold for $4m prior to auction.
Ms Challen said the home last sold for $61,000 in 1976 and has only ever had two owners.
“It sits on a quiet, wide and tightly held street,” she said.
“The home built in the 1960s is immaculate, and buyers recognised a rare opportunity to secure a premium site in one of Hunters Hill’s most desirable pockets.”

No. 28 Rocher Ave, Hunters Hill attracted $4m prior to auction.
Ms Challen attributed the twin record sales to the broader suburb market.
She noted strong demand from downsizers and families seeking high-quality, low-maintenance homes close to elite schools, transport and village amenities.
“Proximity to leading private schools such as St Joseph’s College, Riverview and Marist Sisters’ College Woolwich continues to be a major drawcard,” she said.
“These homes are also close to the ferry, and we now have rapid private bus links to the city.
It was this convenience, combined with a diverse local population and a growing cafe and restaurant culture within the shopping village, that was said to be attracting strong demand.
“There’s real confidence in the market, limited supply and well-qualified buyers,” Ms Challen said.
“Hunters Hill continues to perform across every segment.”
