Elizabeth Bay House is a historic home managed by the Historic Houses Trust in Onslow Avenue with views across Sydney Harbour. It was designed by John Verge in the Regency style and is listed on the Register of the National Estate.

Boomerang is perhaps the best surviving suburban estate of its period on the harbour foreshores. This 'Hollywood Spanish Mission' style dwelling and flats are of stuccoed brick with vaguely classical windows and decoration under a terracotta hipped roof. The exterior colour is dull pink. The interior is understood to maintain the theatrical air with rooms decorated in different styles from various historical eras. The gardens, now mature, are a glorious amalgamation of palm trees, shrubs, fountains with tennis court and boat house. A private residence, sold for AU$20.7 Million in 2005 to Lindsay Fox. It has been used as a backdrop for numerous Hollywood movies including Mission Impossible II.
