Held by the same family since its early 1970s creation and positioned just metres from Rye Pier, foreshore, village and local primary school, this character-filled residence sits on a generous allotment rich with future potential. A renovator's dream with strong bones, the dual-level home offers scope to transform into a contemporary beach house, live in while exploring subdivision for a rear dwelling, or start again with a luxury new residence or two townhouses (STCA). Behind a brick and timber façade finished in neutral tones, the dual level home reveals a flowing floorplan rich in warmth and personality. Beneath soaring, vaulted ceilings with exposed Oregon beams, the main living domain extends to a slate crazy paved terrace, while a limestone feature wall forms a striking centrepiece between the lounge and updated kitchen and dining area with dual ovens, abundant cabinetry and breakfast bar. Upstairs, three spacious bedrooms open to a broad north-facing balcony, including a master with ensuite, while a charming fourth bedroom with timber-lined walls, hardwood floors and a retro built-in robe sits beside a tidy family bathroom. Downstairs, an expansive multipurpose area with handmade Shoji-style screen dividers is currently configured as a hair and beauty salon, alongside a laundry with adjoining shower and toilet. The rear garden reveals a lush level lawn bordered by cherry plum, thornless raspberries, dahlias, irises and white lilacs, creating bursts of colour and sweet seasonal produce through spring and summer. Additional inclusions; solar panels, awnings, split system air-conditioning, gas heater, cedar feature walls, tandem carport, oversized lock-up garage, ample storage and security system.
