Set on an exceptional 1,992sqm (approx.) in a quiet Burwood pocket, Bronte Homestead at 5 Bronte Avenue is a beautifully preserved c.1886 Victorian residence, rich in character, scale, and future potential.
Positioned well back from the street, this single-level double-brick homestead blends period integrity with modern comfort. Soaring ceilings, polished Baltic pine floors, ornate cornices and ceiling roses define the interiors, while a wide bluestone verandah wraps the home, connecting seamlessly to the established gardens.
Four generous bedrooms with garden outlooks are complemented by three bathrooms and multiple living zones, including a formal lounge, cosy den with potbelly stove, and a light-filled farmhouse-style kitchen opening to sun-drenched northerly gardens.
Comfort is assured with hydronic heating, split systems, gas log fireplace, dual hot water, solar support and 18,000L rainwater storage. A separate double-brick garage/studio, dual-access driveway, and extensive off-street parking add further flexibility.
Outdoors, the north-facing garden (approx. 800sqm) offers a rare lifestyle setting — established trees, productive vegetable beds, award-recognised Cabernet Franc and Muscat vines, and expansive lawn areas ideal for families, entertaining or hobby use.
Beyond its immediate appeal, the property presents significant future potential (STCA), including a second dwelling, extension, studio conversion or boutique professional use.
Ideally located moments from Deakin University, leading schools including Presbyterian Ladies’ College, Huntingtower School and Kingswood College, as well as Burwood Brickworks, transport, and the future Suburban Rail Loop.
A rare offering of land, history and versatility just 15km from the CBD — Bronte Homestead is a true once-in-a-generation opportunity
