11 Read Street, Bronte, NSW 2024

Beyond the traditional frontage of this freestanding Queen Anne style Federation home lies a private family haven offering a sense of light, space and serenity that's rare to find in the heart of Bronte. Set on a deep dual access block on one of Bronte's best-loved streets, the single-storey home opens out to an entertainer's deck that captures the ocean breeze and a gorgeous established garden with a versatile gazebo / lock-up garage with access via Read Lane. Beautifully proportioned interiors capture the essence of classic elegance with ornate ceilings and tall French doors enhancing the sense of space with a flexible layout easily configured as a four bedroom home. Facing north with lush green outlooks from every room, this timeless beauty comes with DA and CC approval to extend the upper level with scope to reconfigure the gazebo into a double lock-up garage. Available for the first time in 23 years, this is a perfect spot for families just one street back from Bronte Public School with Favoloso Espresso Bar around the corner and a short walk through the gully to Bronte Beach.
