Family Beach House With A Moroccan-Style Poolside Oasis And Double Garage Via Chesterfield Lane

Conceived as a private family retreat in the heart of Bronte village, this beach house has been newly transformed into a luxurious designer home that blends California cool with a splash of Morocco to create a dreamy oasis. The original front of the home presents as a classic 1920s bungalow but an imaginative redesign unfolds to a spacious two-storey home that opens out to a landscaped poolside oasis designed by Garden Life and inspired by a traditional Moroccan riad. A creative approach by A Space Architects retains the home's authentic soul with hand-hewn sandstone walls on the lower level that speak to the past while custom interiors by David Rowland Studio blend style and functionality with four double bedrooms, a choice of living areas and a media room. In a fantastic village setting, a few doors up from local institutions including Iggy's Bread, Cali Press and Huxton's, this is a home that captures the spirit of Bronte with rear access via Chesterfield Lane to a double lock-up garage. With Woolworths Metro at the doorstep making day to day living a breeze, it's a 750m walk down the street to the sand, surf and beach action.
