'Skara Brae' Landmark Federation Home With Studio, 886SQM Block, Ocean Views

Held in the same family for 41 years, this gracious Federation home is perched on a prime 884sqm corner parcel of land with dual access. Mesmerising views over the Pacific Ocean take centre stage from its exclusive vantage point. Surrounded by expansive gardens with a pool and a spacious self-contained studio apartment, the impeccably preserved landmark retains immense traditional character, enhanced by details such as soaring ceilings, decorative archways and fireplaces. Graced with grand proportions, an abundance of entertaining space and beautiful natural light, it offers a wonderfully versatile home for family living. Timelessly elegant as is, it provides some scope to further capitalise on its scale and prized position on one of the East's most desirable streets. It's just footsteps to Macpherson Street's lively café scene and a short stroll down through Bronte Park to the beach.
