Wake to treetop views and walk to the water from this architectural weatherboard beauty just 350m (approx) to Whitecliffs Beach, Rye.

This charming tri-level residence is crafted into its coastal surrounds on a 986m2 (approx) allotment in Rye’s premier bush-meets-beach enclave. This is where elevation, seclusion and accessibility to the Pier, Whitecliffs General Store and the township unite.

From her disarming cottage-style façade to her bedrooms beneath angled ceilings and her delightful bathroom with a view, this is a home with heart.

Stroll to the beach and bay trail in 5 minutes. Cafes, bars and restaurants are 1km (approx) away. Enjoy the tranquility of this tightly-held location amongst the Moonah trees.

The layout features entry-level living; bedrooms and bathroom on the upper floor; and a lower-level lock-up garage and laundry.

Fall in love with the wraparound veranda; with the ornate fretwork and window canopies; and with the French doors that spill from the living room onto an alfresco terrace.

The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a partially integrated dishwasher, a gas cooktop and an island preparation bench. Enjoy open-plan, light-filled living with polished floorboards and a gas log fire. A 4th bedroom (or study) and a powder room complete the entry level.

Discover 3 good-sized bedrooms with fans and vaulted ceilings on the upper level. The piece-de-resistance here is a bathtub with a delightful hinterland view.

This is a character-filled hideaway by the sea, less than 90 minutes to Melbourne, close to surf beaches, golf, the Rye Yacht Club and more.
