40 Yanko Avenue, Bronte

Award-Winning Eco Friendly Family Beach House, Bronte's Most Exclusive Address Designed by celebrated coastal architect Sam Crawford, this award-winning family home is surrounded by beautiful landscaped gardens on what is undoubtedly Bronte's most sought-after beachside avenue. An inspired redesign retains the fabric of the original cottage that was built over the foundations of a colonial era sandstone house and stables with a distinctive saw-cut roofline designed to harness northerly light and maximise cross-flow ventilation. Simple, pared back interiors feature a series of light and airy living spaces and a natural palette of stone, timber and glass. A private level garden at the rear of the home forms a seamless extension of the home while a separate self-contained apartment is perfect for guest, teen or au pair accommodation. * Sustainable architecture at its best * North facing, sandstone foundations * Landscaped entry and wide entry hall * 4 beds on one level, 3 with built-ins * Separate guest retreat, private entry * Master suite, 3 designer bathrooms * Free-flowing living and dining rooms * Jetmaster fireplace, custom joinery * North facing sunroom, district views * Entertainer's kitchen and casual living * Concrete and stainless steel worktops * Chef's gas cooker and walk-in pantry * Banquette seating with built-in storage * Seamless flow to private coastal garden * Outdoor beach shower, recycled timbers * Limewashed timber and concrete floors * Passive solar design, optimal natural light * Hydronic underfloor heating, ceiling fans * Solar power/hot water with gas boost, automated blinds * Concealed rainwater tanks, greywater use * Soaring ceilings and louvered windows * Bespoke joinery, integrated sound * Video intercom and alarm security * Triple parking, auto double garage * Auto sprinkler system, complete home water filtration system * Huge storage, low-maintenance gardens * 2013 Waverley Design Award winner * 2013 Shortlisted for Houses Award * 2015 Shortlisted for NSW Architecture Award
