Keepsake Clearances

HomeAreas

Areas we work, from Balmoral out

Each pocket empties differently.

A clearance in Clifton Gardens is a stair plan. A pickup behind Military Road is a parking plan. A downsize on the Esplanade is barely a drive at all. We work the same short list of places every week, so the plan is usually made before we have hung up.

Home ground

Balmoral, the amphitheatre above the beach

The slope between Middle Head and the Spit is where we live and where the name comes from: long-held houses on Mandolong and Botanic and Stanton, stair-flight frontages, apartments along the Esplanade that the same families move into when the house gets too big. This whole site is really the Balmoral page, so start at the beginning, or go straight to the estate work that concentrates here.

The pockets around us

Where the van goes most weeks

  • Mosman

    The village, the walk-ups and the ridge: where the estate paperwork happens, and where the parking gets planned before the kettle boils.

  • Clifton Gardens

    The hardest access in the LGA, homes well below street level and long private stairs, which is exactly why the fixed price matters here.

  • Beauty Point

    Below-road waterfront frontages where everything is carried, planned like a small expedition and priced like an ordinary job.

  • Mosman Bay

    The ferry-wharf valley: slope terrain, tight lanes, and houses that have watched the wharf for generations.

  • Spit Junction

    Ridge-top and truck-friendlier than the rest, once you respect the 24-hour clearway on Spit Road.

  • Cremorne & Cremorne Point

    The village strip and the single-road peninsula, where a stair-frontage carry is just called a driveway.

  • Neutral Bay

    The denser apartment belt next door: walk-up buildings, strata managers and lift bookings rather than hill access.

A street nearby that we have not named? Ask anyway: if it is a sensible drive from Balmoral, it is usually a yes.
