12th. November 2025 – Case Study, Balgowlah Heights

The Client

Our clients were seeking a lifestyle change, moving from the Upper North Shore to Sydney’s Northern Beaches. Unfamiliar with the area, they engaged Ben Cohen and Monique Treder to guide them through the best streets, schools, and neighbourhoods. The brief was clear; a home in a prime location with renovation potential and strong lifestyle appeal. Within just 10 days of signing on, we secured a unique character property with north-facing views over Manly and walking distance to Forty Baskets Beach. An exceptional result, and a move that perfectly captured the lifestyle they were seeking.
