'Sonoma' Historic Beachside Landmark With A Mediterranean-Style Courtyard, Double Garage And Studio
One of Bronte's landmark manor homes built in 1895, 'Sonoma' stands proud on an elevated north-facing block just 800m down to the sand and surf. Sunny terraced gardens afford an impressive sense of arrival while the interiors of the grand double-fronted villa have been meticulously restored and renovated retaining the home's grand proportions and refined period craftsmanship. Incredibly private, the four-bedroom home blends Victorian elegance with a relaxed Mediterranean feel with a suntrap internal courtyard that's open to the sky and perfect for entertaining. A spacious four-bedroom layout is spread over one level with a pair of bay windows bringing in the northerly light and soaring 3.7m ceilings enhancing the sense of space. With 340sqm internally, this beachside beauty comes with a double lock-up garage and a sound-proofed studio ideal as a home office or music room as well as a 100sqm attic. With the beach at the end of the street, this is a rare opportunity to secure a piece of Bronte history along with an unbeatable lifestyle just 550m to Macpherson Street village and 600m to Bronte Public School.
