5 Wargundy Avenue, Rye, Vic 3941

Immersed in the serenity of the seaside with a surreal vista over the treetops, this elevated contemporary beach house embraces a life of blissful beachside living in the heart of the southern peninsula.

Set on more than a quarter of an acre at one of Rye's highest points between the ocean and beautiful bay beaches, the four-bedroom home overflows with relaxing ambience, with a floorplan that spills out to numerous sundecks to lap up the outdoors.

Enchanting with a stepped garden walkway leading the way to a sunny entry, the home offers open plan living on both upper and lower levels, with a central glass stairwell adding a striking element to the architecture.

Upstairs, the sundrenched lounge and dining room adjoins a sleek kitchen with deep stainless-steel drawers, small dishwasher and electric stove, while a sliding door opens to an alfresco entertaining area with a stunning outlook over a valley of treetops.

The main bedroom also has its own private balcony among the treetops with a stylish bathroom across the hall with step-in shower, along with the second bedroom. Downstairs another two bedrooms include one opening to its own deck and a second bathroom with a slumped frosted glass vanity, while the lower level living areas has space for a study area and doors to both the back and front gardens.

With a long driveway sweeping past the home to rear parking, the home also includes reverse-cycle airconditioning, great space for your basketball practice ring and a tranquil spot for your fitpit.

A heavenly holiday home or the perfect permanent seachange, the property is just minutes to Rye town centre, beach and pier, golf courses, day spas, St Andrews Brewery, horse trail riding and the spectacular surf beaches lining the peninsula's ocean front.
