One street back from Queens Park, a short stroll from Centennial Park, only 5 minutes drive to Bronte Beach. This Queen Anne style Federation beauty has undergone a radical reinvention by award-winning MCK Architects to deliver a triumph of design where period character meets bold contemporary form. Named The Black House, the reimagined home fuses dramatic architectural gestures with finely resolved interiors to create a family home of rare sophistication and warmth on an unexpectedly large and incredibly private 543sqm. A striking shingled rear pavilion, punctuated by deep window reveals, rises from the original roofline with its curves and voids orchestrating light and space in a way that is both playful and refined. Inside, volumes soar, with private upper-level retreats enlivening generous public domains below, while a clerestory window draws northern sunshine deep into the heart of the home. A tailored material palette of stone, timber and textural finishes underscores a mood of quiet luxury, balanced by the robust detailing needed for family life. Outdoors, the artistry of landscape designer Will Dangar sets the stage for relaxed entertaining and family connection, with lush private gardens wrapped around a pool and cabana that forms the social heart of the home. More than just a house, it is a dynamic architectural stage set designed for joy, retreat and the ever-evolving rhythm of family living. Enjoy easy access to the vibrant dining scenes of Charring Cross village, Macpherson Street restaurants, Frenchmans Road, and Clovelly Road bakeries, restaurants and cafes- all just a short stroll from your doorstep.
