Landmark 1880s Victorian Italianate Manor On A North Facing 906sqm, One Of Bronte's Finest Estates
Holding a significant place in Bronte's history, 'Wycombe' has been part of the beachside landscape since 1883 and stands today as a gracious reminder of the past and one of the suburb's finest privately owned estates just up from Bronte House. The magnificent Victorian Italianate manor rests behind a gated flagstone forecourt on a north-facing 906sqm landholding with resort-style grounds complete with a mosaic-tiled pool, day spa, firepit and sunken trampoline with space for entertaining on both an intimate and grand scale. The three-storey mansion is a rare survivor of Boom Style architecture and has been sympathetically revived putting a contemporary spin on this historic landmark which has been reinvigorated for a new generation. A high-end redesign allows the romance of the past to shine while offering every luxury from a parent's wing and media lounge to a summer room and home office. Essentially a family compound, this is beachside living on an epic scale with just under 500sqm of internal space and established gardens conceived as a botanic oasis with palms, figs, jacarandas and wisteria creating a riot of colour in spring. A breezy stroll down to the beach, this unique estate presents an extraordinary opportunity to secure a piece of Bronte history along with an unbeatable lifestyle.
