This wonderful family estate in one of Turramurra’s most tightly held streets has served its owners very well.
So well in fact that they have stayed put at 12 Karuah Rd for 15 years, well above the average 12.4 years most residents of the suburb hold their homes for.

Auction results a warning for spring buyers
A lot has changed in Turramurra in that time.
Ten years ago the median house price was $1.035 million. That has more than doubled to $2.105 million in 2020.
According to realestate.com.au’s latest Market Trends report, the suburb’s median house price has grown by 15.3 per cent in the past 12 months, a time when many other Sydney suburbs have seen a softening in prices.
No. 12 Karuah Rd is easily one of Turramurra’s finest homes.
Set on a 1669sqm block surrounded by private gardens, a north/south tennis court and heated pool, the home was designed by architect Harvey Little.
Rich natural materials are used extensively in the design, which has a myriad of living zones, four bedrooms including two with ensuites plus a dedicated home office or possible in-law accommodation.
Tim Fraser, of Di Jones North Shore – Wahroonga, said the owners had loved the flow of the house and the north to rear aspect that gave great warmth in winter and year-round brightness throughout the rooms. The design has also allowed them to be in the kitchen or at the barbecue and still be part of the activities in the pool or on the tennis court.
Privacy and the proximity to the Turramurra and Warrawee train stations have also been highlights, Mr Fraser said.
There will be plenty of eyes on the sale of this outstanding property, and not only those living in Karuah Rd. The property stands to give both the street and suburb sales records a run for their money.
The record was set in 2019 with the sale of 4 Karuah Rd for $5.7 million, according to CoreLogic.
The suburb’s residential sale record sits at $6 million, set in 2016 with the sale of 41 Ku-ring-gai Ave.
The property is due to go to auction on September 19, with a price guide of $6 million. For more details contact Mr Fraser.
