THIS is the one you have all been waiting for in Bondi Beach.
A rare gem like this free-standing duel level bungalow at 66 Francis St, Bondi Beach doesn't come to market very often.
In fact, this five bedroom home with a huge 6.5m deep lock up garage has been tightly owned by its seller for 25 years.
Ray White Double Bay Associate Director Daryl Rosen said the two storey home with a blue-chip address is exactly what buyers are looking for.
“Demand is strong right now. This house, with a north easterly outlook, sits on the high side of one of Bondi's best streets, ensuring abundant natural light, refreshing ocean breezes and never-to-be-built-out views,” Mr Rosen said.
“There’s a covered outdoor setting and garden oasis, plus French doors to the balcony which open to treetop views. It’s in the heart of Bondi, just a short walk from its iconic beach, cafes, restaurants and transport.”
Retiree Tibor Harsanyi and his late wife raised their three sons at 66 Francis St, ensuring it was “a very happy family home”.
“The location is simply the best, only a few minutes to the beach with uninterrupted views to Vaucluse and the house cannot be built out,” said the seller.
“Over the years we have replaced two of the bathrooms, and even installed a fireplace, which you can’t do nowadays. The garden is of a generous size and easy to care for. It’s a Tuscan style and we put in a hot and cold shower in the garden too so you don’t have to walk sand into the house after a swim or walk along the beach.”
“I just came back from the beach actually, I go for daily walks,” said Mr Harsanyi, who used to work in the printing industry.
“It’s been a happy family home, and we have 15 grandchildren who love the house too. We have wonderful neighbours here too, it’s a very family-friendly neighbourhood, I will not be moving too far away” said Mr Harsanyi, who is downsizing into a Bondi Beach unit in the wake of his wife’s recent passing.
“I have loved the suburb since we moved here in 1960 from Hungary.”
