'Highgate', A Manor-Like Federation Home Opposite Waverley Park, First time Offered In 80 Years

Built c1910 and held since 1940 by four generations, 'Highgate' stands proud on a commanding 562sqm approx opposite Waverley Park on the edge of Bronte and at the gateway to Bondi and Tamarama Beaches. Set back for privacy with a 12m frontage and double lock-up garage, the Federation classic has been lovingly restored and extended with a series of indoor and outdoor living spaces and a breezy flow-through layout. Flexibility is inherent in the design with a separate one-bedroom apartment that can function independently or as part of the primary residence as well as potential to extend the upper level. Facing north with a sunny welcoming verandah and wide entry hall, the original front of the home retains its period finery with ornate ceilings, original fireplaces and leadlight windows while the contemporary rear makes entertaining a dream. An 80-year old macadamia tree provides an endless bounty while rooftop terraces offer plentiful space to relax and soak up the sea breeze. A short walk up to Waverley College, St Clares and St Catherine's, this treasured family home is perfectly placed within easy reach of three of Sydney's top surf beaches with the park's sports facilities just across the street and 700m to South Bondi village.
