27 Kent Street, Waverley, NSW 2024

While honouring a historic home's lovely bones, the interiors of this double-fronted Federation classic were peeled back and recreated to mark a new style chapter while allowing its original soul to shine. Radiating sunshine and positive energy, the c1915 beauty has been brought to life with an artistic touch that enhances the home's old-world elegance while offering every creature comfort. A sunny picket-fenced garden framed by century old frangipani trees make a pretty addition to the streetscape but it's the wide views over Clovelly to the ocean that bring the wow factor. On the border of Bronte, behind Macpherson Street village, this is a fantastic neighbourhood for families with Varna Park and adventure playground at the end of the street and equidistant to the surf at Bronte and Clovelly's sheltered waters. Stroll up to Eugene's Cafe and Wet Paint or down to Clovelly Public School with triple parking via Carlton Street a rare bonus and a sandstone-walled basement that would make a great creative space, media retreat or gym.
