Earlier this week I posted a piece on the Top 20 Most Searched Suburbs on our website. I’m not surprised that 3 suburbs in the Top 10 were from Sydney’s Inner West.

If you’re like me and appreciate cosy cafes, specialty deli’s and bakeries, then you must take some time out to stroll the streets of Annandale or Balmain.

On the weekend I was having a coffee at La Buena Mesa Cafe in Annandale and dropped in to view one of our listings nearby. For those of you who have ever driven down Johnston Street, you’d know it’s hard to miss The Abbey, one of Sydney’s most fascinating and historical houses. It’s rare that I get to go through a property with such amazing architectural detail with a castle-like feel positioned just moments from the city.

I love the way the view of Sydney harbour and the Anzac Bridge are contrasted with the historical look of this grand home.
