10 Knowles Avenue

The imaginative redesign of one of North Bondi's classic beach houses by Stanic Harding Architects has created a sun-filled family haven with an upbeat energy and playful spirit that brings a sense of joy to everyday living. Freestanding to the north and bathed in beautiful sunshine, the two-storey home holds a tightly held address at the top end of one of North Bondi's best avenues. Huge banks of windows draw natural light deep into the interiors while a pared back palette of American Oak, terrazzo and steel is layered with extensive custom joinery, creating interiors that feel cohesive, warm and effortlessly liveable. Designed to balance seclusion and sociability, a custom bistro-style entertainer's kitchen anchors the living zone with a seamless connection to a lush landscaped garden that invites outdoor living. Perfect for families, the four-bedroom layout includes a private master retreat with an ensuite and chillout lounge while streamlined cabinetry and generous storage make day to day living a dream. Set in a close knit neighbourhood away from the crowds but close to the action, this leafy pocket of North Bondi is in the catchment for Bondi Beach Public School and an easy walk down Wairoa Avenue to the sand and surf. - Freestanding to the north, 6m frontage - Every room bathed in northerly sunshine - American Oak floorboards, ducted air - Slatted timber landing, playful sense of light - 4 large bedrooms, 3 with built-in robes - King-sized master bed with an ensuite - Sitting room/chillout lounge with daybed - Extensive custom joinery by Space Joinery - Entertainer's kitchen with island bench - Wolf gas range cooker, integrated fridge - Stone-topped island, stainless steel worktops - Coffee station and cocktail bar, Vintec fridge - Sun-filled open plan living and dining - Bi-fold doors to a private landscaped garden - Architect-designed storage for bikes/boards - 2 stylish bathrooms with terrazzo-tiled floors - Bright family bathroom with a Kaldewei bath - Stroll to O'Donnell Street Reserve Playground
