Behind the facade of a quaint miner’s cottage lies a massive three-story mansion with an epic backyard and sweeping views across the suburbs to the ocean.

The luxurious modern with traditional pad is located in the affluent Sydney Eastern Suburb Bronte, seven kilometers from the CBD.

From the street, passersby see nothing but the original historic cottage with a stone brick facade, white picket fence and colorful flower beds.

However, when guests step inside, they are greeted by a long hallway that leads to the large family room, where panoramic views can be seen.

The original 1870s cottage was once part of Bronte’s Chesterfield Heights Estate and houses two bright bedrooms, a home office and a formal lounge.
