If historic homes tug on your heartstrings, some of the prettiest period homes are set to go under the hammer this weekend.
Nearly 100 homes are scheduled for auction, and one of them is 49-51 Cutler Road, Clontarf, which is on the market for the first time in 60 years.
One of Clontarf's first homes, it was owned by former oil baron Sir Walter Leonard.

“It’s a deceased estate and we’re looking to sell under the hammer for best market price on Saturday,” listing agent Mark Griffiths of Ray White Seaforth told WILLIAMS MEDIA.
Perfectly positioned to capture impressive harbour views, it’s been the venue for many dinners and parties with business leaders, prime ministers and even Lord Snowdon on the guest lists.

Built in 1954, recent extensive renovations include a new gourmet kitchen, luxury bathrooms and a beautiful decked pool.
Gardens on the 1385sq m property were designed and landscaped by Jamie Durie.
Fresh from selling a fun family property with its own putting green under the hammer for $5.8 million last Saturday, Ray White Drummoyne’s Chris Wilkins is hoping to offload a charming two-bedder at 121 Thompson Street in Drummoyne.

The smartly presented property is going to auction at midday with a price guide of $1.05 million.
“It’s just a great entry-level home into Drummoyne,” Mr Wilkins told WILLIAMS MEDIA.
“The interested buyers are both young couples and downsizers so it’s great seeing both ends of the market competing.”

Listing agent Dwight Ferguson of Ray White Ascot says the home is a true architectural masterpiece.
“This home is a true architectural masterpiece located in one of Clayfield's most prestigious and family-oriented streets,” Ray White Ascot principal Dwight Ferguson told WILLIAMS MEDIA.
Owners Seb and Anna Turnbull purchased the property in 2007 before renovating the home in 2016. Their goal was to keep the cottage-like feel, as well as adding modern elements to bring the home into the 21st century.

“We designed this home to feel ultra-modern and primarily to cater for the busy, young and growing family,” Mr Turnbull said.
The home will go under the hammer at 11 am.
