A Remarkable Bronte Estate With Inspiring Views And Historic 1860s Sandstone Coach House On 556sqm.
Hidden behind a walled cactus garden evoking visions of Palm Springs, this private Bronte estate has undergone an inspired redesign by acclaimed architect Mary Ellen Hudson that rings true to the mid-century design of the original home while unveiling a new style chapter. Secluded from the street at the end of a private drive, the residence holds a commanding setting on one of Bronte's most elevated vantage points affording panoramic ocean and coastal views. The 556sqm site incorporates a two-storey main residence and an historic 1860s sandstone coach house that was once part of the original Yanko Estate and is likely the only convict-built dwelling remaining on the eastern coastline; a colonial treasure that is now a two-storey guest cottage complete with hand-hewn stone walls. An artistic design sensibility and bespoke interiors provide a dynamic environment for family living with Hudson's signature robust palette of materials and sculptural curves that reflect the natural beauty of its seaside setting. Introduced by a striking double-height foyer, this one-of-a-kind home features multiple living areas and California-style gardens by Pod Landscaping featuring a sequence of outdoor spaces for social gatherings and play time as well as quiet retreat.
