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. Tastefully appointed interiors preserve the home's authentic character with soaring ceilings enhancing the sense of space and gorgeous outlooks from every room. 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.
