BRONTE, NSW

Curated interiors by Mary Ellen Hudson Architects, a globally informed aesthetic and sweeping ocean views make this exceptional Yanko Avenue residence one of Bronte's best. Designed to blend into its coastal surrounds and take full advantage of a due north aspect, the freestanding home is crafted from stone, glass, brass and timber but it's the attention to detail and accomplished fusion of texture and tonality that give the home its star quality. Award-winning architect Mary Ellen Hudson has worked her magic with an artful blend of form and function that create an atmospheric effect and offers treasures at every curve from a show-stopping kitchen and 12m magnesium pool to a sun-drenched master wing overlooking the ocean horizon. Acting as the social hub, the casual living space features 3.5m high ceilings and the dream kitchen opening out to a big alfresco lounge and deep private garden. This is one of the best positions on Yanko Avenue, a short walk to the beach with Macpherson Street village at the end of the street.
