Romancing The Stone, A Landmark 1890s Beachside Treasure On A Sunny Double Corner Block. 550sqm Grounds (approx).
One of Bronte's few remaining sandstone residences, this double-fronted beauty holds a coveted setting just 350m to the beach and along the coast to Tamarama. Built c1890 on an unusually large 550sqm approx. dual access block, the freestanding home has been lovingly revived and renovated paying homage to the original build while delivering the ultimate environment for families to relax, play and entertain. Sandstone plays an integral role in defining the living spaces and connecting the front and rear gardens to deliver a sense of sanctuary while access via Belgrave Lane to triple garaging is a rare bonus so close to the beach. Bathed in northerly sunshine, the rear opens out to a north facing garden with a sequence of alfresco living spaces while the upper level features soaring cathedral ceilings that harness the sunshine and sea breeze with French doors to a balcony with views to the ocean. The five-bedroom home offers historic charm and contemporary comfort in equal measure with a 5kW solar power system ensuring the home treads lightly on the environment with ducted air for year-round comfort.
