Set discreetly behind a charming weatherboard cottage facade, a masterful two storey extension by Sam Crawford Architects unfolds with quiet drama. Raw yet sophisticated, voluminous proportions create a sense of space, while expanses of glass illuminate the home with light and reveal visual connections to lush and private greenery. Steps to Gibson Street Reserve and Marlborough Reserve playgrounds, the residence is a stroll to the gourmet cafes and conveniences of Charing Cross Village and Favoloso Deli. Placed in the well-regarded Bronte Public School catchment, just a 10 minute walk to Bronte Beach and close to the expanses of Queens Park and Waverley Park.
