Is this Sydney’s cheapest penthouse?
The sale price hasn’t been disclosed but the home was listed with a price guide of $5.575m.
“With the beach at the doorstep and ocean views that will never be built out, this architecturally designed residence holds a world-class position fronting the natural splendour of Bronte Park,” the listing read.
“Occupying the entire ground floor of a tightly held collection of only three, the house-like apartment has been designed to take full advantage of its breathtaking outlook with walls of glass bringing the outdoors in and a huge entertainer’s deck as a seamless extension of the living space.
“Streamlined minimalist interiors allow the vista to do the talking with an innovative design featuring two inter-connected pavilions defined by an internal courtyard with the front wing dedicated to living and entertaining and the rear with three large bedrooms including a master suite opening to a private terrace.”
It cost $3.575 million in 2008 from developers Richard Woods and Vikki McFadden.
According to PropTrack, the median unit price for Bronte is $1.56m, down 1.5 per cent over the last 12 months.
