22 Gardyne Street, Bronte NSW 2024

Northerly sunshine streams into every room of this private family beach house with tranquil views over Bronte Gully to the ocean setting the scene for a relaxed beachside lifestyle. On one of Bronte's best streets, the freestanding home pays homage to all things mid-century but with a coastal twist that's perfectly suited to its idyllic setting just 500m to the sand and surf. Soaring raked ceilings harness the light and ocean breeze while a lofty pavilion-style layout features multiple living areas, a top floor parent's retreat and separate children's wing. Capturing the spirit of barefoot beachside living, a contemporary renovation retains the essence of the home's modernist origins while meeting the needs of contemporary family living with materials that honour its seaside location. Held for 27 years, this is a rare opportunity to buy in a prized pocket of Bronte a breezy stroll to ocean parkland, beachside cafes and Bronte Baths.
