Commanding a lengthy 75-metre street frontage and in excess of two and a quarter acres of sprawling parklike grounds, this unique property is privileged with a stunning natural backdrop border created by a soaring bushland embankment and presents a plethora of inspiring future possibilities including potential for subdivision (STCA), or reinstate the north/south facing tennis court area. Idyllically located in a tranquil winding street within walking distance to the front beach and shops, the character-rich, 5-bedroom brick and cedar residence is accessed via a long driveway lined with large established trees. Custom-designed for extended zoned family living or holiday-guest hosting, the single-level home features front and rear alfresco entertaining options, and three interior living spaces including the main open-plan area with a woodfire heater, which is flanked by two expansive bedroom wings. Equipped with a Westinghouse induction cooktop, a wall oven, and a dishwasher, the central kitchen overlooks the rear paved alfresco area, which is partly undercover and has a built-in wood-fired pizza oven. All the bedrooms are generously proportioned, and the master has a stylishly renovated ensuite with a walk-in rain-head shower. Perfect for a growing family with loads of space for all the toys, there are two separate workshops/sheds, and plenty of undercover vehicle parking including a purpose-built boat/caravan structure. Additional features include super-high pitched ceilings in the light-filled dining room complemented by highlight and double-hung sash windows, a gas-log fire heater in the family/rumpus room, split-system heating/cooling unit, security alarm, main bathroom with built-in tub, large laundry/utility room with rear access, and an 8-station bore-water garden irrigation system. Close to Rye Primary School, and an easy walk to the heart of Rye’s shopping precinct and prized front beach and foreshore, it’s just a few minutes’ drive to world-class ocean beaches, golf courses, hot springs and wineries. • Rare 9154-square-metre (approx.) allotment with 75-metre street frontage • Unique rear border natural embankment • 5-bedroom brick and cedar custom built home • Front alfresco deck and rear undercover paved area with wood-fired pizza oven • Two-bedroom wings allowing for zoned family living • Main bedroom with shower ensuite • Two double undercover carports plus caravan/boat parking • Two workshops/utility sheds
