21 Read Street, Bronte, NSW 2024

Original homes in this coveted setting in the family friendly heart of Bronte are a rare find and this freestanding double-fronted Federation residence presents a wealth of opportunity on a prime 430sqm approx dual access block. Held by one family for 40 years, the deceased estate opens to a huge garden with plentiful room to extend and features rear lane access to a double lock-up garage with potential for a studio above (STCA). Just up from Bronte Public School and 200m to Favoloso Espresso Bar, the single-storey home is ready for a new style chapter and offers a blank canvas with exciting potential to add your stamp of style and take advantage of its unusually large block, solid foundations and sandstone-framed basement. Be inspired by neighbouring properties and explore the potential for creative reinvention with scope to add a second storey as well as plenty of room for a pool in the sunny backyard (STCA). With great schools all around, this family friendly neighbourhood is an 800m walk to Bronte Beach and an easy walk along the coast to Tamarama's surf breaks and Icebergs Pool.
