A Grand Victorian With Sweeping Ocean Views And A Party-Sized Pool In A Tranquil Seaside Enclave
One of Bronte's few remaining authentic Victorian Italianate residences, 5 Busby Parade was built c1895 with a commanding vantage point affording expansive views over Clovelly and the ocean that sweep up the celebrated eastern coastline. Reminiscent of a romantic villa on the Amalfi Coast, this private family haven offers a splash of Mediterranean magic in an exclusive coastal enclave and hidden from the world behind an idyllic north-facing garden that transforms into a colourful oasis in the summer months. A rare and prized offering available for the first time in over 40 years, the tri-level residence features a choice of indoor and outdoor living spaces creating the perfect environment for family living with a backyard that's dedicated to fun with an 8m approx. pool as centrepiece.

Four double bedrooms are all positioned on the upper level, the master overlooking the tranquil gardens underscoring a sense of privacy and tranquility, while its location is perfect for families just 350m to Clovelly Public School and 550m to Macpherson Street village, Woolies Metro and Iggy's Bread.
