COCKTAILS ON THE DECK
Built around the 1970's this wonderfully original, elevated beach house has remained with its builder/owner since then. Many generations of the family have fond memories of fun filled holidays at "the Rye house". Alas, all era's come to an end, now for the first time in 45 years this lovely old charmer is about to change hands. The house sits proudly to the rear of this pleasantly elevated block of approximately 1460sm and looks directly at the water. The views across the tree line to the bay are truly beautiful and can be enjoyed from the entire full width living room and kitchen, as well as the lovely big timber viewing deck built across the front and down one side. You could be excused for thinking you were on top of the world.
The home was very well constructed and has been regularly maintained since, it has great bones. The result is a property to enjoy "as is" or the perfect base from which your dream home can be molded. Typical of the period, the home is set high on extremely substantial poles allowing for a large undercover play area or under cover parking for many vehicles. This vast area is currently brick paved. The laundry is located on this level and has a shower and toilet. Upstairs is seriously like stepping back into the 70's. There are 3 bedrooms, a family bathroom, the kitchen and the wide expanse of living area. The living area opens onto the deck. There is also a smaller rear deck. Features include wall paper, timber paneling, original carpet and vinyl. The effect is nostalgic. There are amazing timber floors to be found beneath the "retro" floor coverings.
The wonderful block of over 1/3acre sits between the home and the gorgeous tree lined boulevard and has potential to be magnificent. The home and its future are in your hands. Best of all, you can walk to the beach and shops. Holiday home seekers, investors, sea change buyers, in fact anyone with creativity running through their veins should take a look.
