The property market is something Aussies spend more time thinking about than theyโd like to admit to, but everyone knows not all homes are created equal. Here at On The Market, we scour countless property listings to share the best of the best, from palatially proportioned waterfront palaces to meticulously designed studio apartments.

Offering three bedrooms and two bathrooms, this residence distils everything great about contemporary Melbourne architecture into one light-filled, triple-aspect home.
The exterior boasts a 17-metre north-facing facade, while inside youโll find soaring 3.4-metre polished concrete ceilings and Spotted Gum detailing that create a canvas for genuinely flexible living.

Some homes transcend their brief entirely โ M House is one of them. Designed by RAMA Architects, this sculptural waterfront residence on the Northern Beaches redefines whatโs possible with concrete, glass, and thoughtful restraint.
The architecture speaks for itself: a cascading rooftop canopy, vast Vitrocsa sliders that frame uninterrupted water views, and warm tallowwood and sandstone that soften the homeโs bold concrete form. Inside, a suspended bridge connects spaces across a double-height atrium, while a sunken lounge anchors the living area.
Paul Alexanderโs landscaping deserves equal billingโlush native gardens roll effortlessly down to a private Clareville beach, blurring the line between built and natural environment.
Itโs the kind of property that makes you reconsider what a beach house can be.
