1 Cosgrove Street, Rye VIC 3941

Moments from a selection of bay and ocean beaches nearby and with the popular strip of funky cafes and bars of Rye just four-minutes' drive away, this divine three-bedroom beach house offers a lifestyle set to be the envy of all your friends. Cocooned in a verdant and surprisingly spacious 1059 sqm (approx.) allotment, with terraced gardens, green lawns and lush foliage, this sweet home would make a wonderful weekender or a permanent residence for lovers of sun, surf and the sand. Well-presented and highly rentable, it would also suit investors in the peninsula's thriving holiday accommodation market. Flaunting a true coastal chic with knotted-pine panelling, exposed-beam ceilings, slate flooring and abundant windows and sliding glass doors flooding the space in light, the roomy lounge is impressive with high cathedral ceilings with clerestory windows, wood heater and sliding glass doors opening to the side patio. The kitchen with dishwasher, slate benchtops, breakfast bar and double pantry is adjoined to the dining/sitting area, which slides open to the north-facing alfresco area with wisteria-entwined pergola that will be magic in full bloom, perfect for relaxing on balmy nights after blissful days at the beach. The sunny master with double built-in robes and ensuite is situated at one end of the home, while two additional bedrooms and a family bathroom are positioned at the other end, creating an ideal zoned configuration for children or house guests. A true sanctuary, the home also features an "in lawn" sprinkler system, a large garden shed/studio, tool shed, double carport, gated drive and reserve-cycle air-conditioning.
