Crafted to embody the essence of comfortable beachside living, this private two-bedroom retreat welcomes a stylish foundation for those seeking a secure coastal base for either permanent, short-stay or weekend enjoyment. Positioned only one block back from the sweeping Port Phillip Bay coastline, an enviable address puts Rye’s cafe culture, famous walking tracks and retail practicalities all within a few short steps from home.

An open plan design atop hardwood timber floors places the kitchen central to both indoor and outdoor entertaining, with a Kleenmaid oven, cooktop and dishwasher presented alongside ample cabinetry. Whitewashed beamed ceilings carry a connection between the open living and dining zone, and the two bedroom accommodation, where rest and retreat is welcomed across light-filled proportions.

Boasting a generous covered deck for a home its size, the unit extends all-weather enjoyment with a rear yard ideal for the small family pet. With the addition of plantation shutters, split-system heating and cooling, light-filled central bathroom, a private front porch and single garage, this one of only three units welcomes a low-maintenance beachside lifestyle with sensational lock-and-leave appeal.
