The considered redesign of one of Bronte’s signature 1920s homes pays homage to the past while creating a stylish contemporary family home that’s designed with barefoot beachside living in mind. Surrounded by established gardens on a sunny 430sqm approx corner block, the double-fronted home faces north-east and features four double bedrooms and a separate study over one level. Sunlit interiors are complemented by original period features with ornate 3.4m ceilings and gorgeous leadlight windows while a dream kitchen anchors the living space with a monolithic breakfast island as the social heart of the home.
