Freestanding Bronte Beach House With Interiors By Kate Bell Design, A Pool And Triple Garaging
With an emphasis on understated luxury and embraced by leafy greenery, this freestanding family home holds a prized position at the beachside end of one of Bronte's best streets just up from the sand and surf. Celebrated interior designer Kate Bell has worked her magic on the interiors with a skilful layering of soft tones and textures complemented by carefully selected finishes to create a soul-soothing oasis of calm that's dedicated to family living. Spread over three levels on a deep dual access block, the five-bedroom home's spacious layout is ideally suited to changing needs with a lower level that can function as a rumpus room, teen retreat or self-contained au pair quarters. Influenced by European elegance but with a thoroughly Australian feel, this is a home that invites relaxation with a choice of living areas and a seamless flow to a private entertainer's terrace and sparkling saltwater pool. The master suite occupies its own wing with a herringbone-paved balcony capturing wide district views, a luxurious ensuite and dual walk-in robes while the lower level features a home office, gym or yoga room and a huge storeroom that's ideal for the active family. Footsteps to Favoloso Espresso Bar and 300m to Bronte Public School, this is a perfect spot to enjoy Bronte's laidback lifestyle, an easy 800m walk to the beach or along the coast to Tamarama.
