Positioned in the tightly held back beach enclave of Rye, just a short stroll from the ocean and the famed No. 16 Beach, this 3 yr old architecturally inspired residence is a masterclass in contemporary coastal living. Designed and constructed as the builder’s own home, every element has been thoughtfully curated to create a seamless indoor outdoor connection, with each room embracing views and access to the home’s sparkling central concrete salt water pool and expansive decking. At its heart, warm natural spotted gum timber floors guide you to a spectacular open plan living domain where a soaring pitched ceiling enhances the sense of space and grandeur. Bathed in natural light and anchored by a beautiful Jetmaster wood fire, this welcoming hub spills effortlessly to the alfresco entertaining area, complete with built in barbecue and outdoor fridge, inviting relaxed gatherings in every season. The chef’s kitchen is both refined and functional, centred around a wide floating island finished in Cloud Burst matte stone. A suite of Miele appliances, including ovens and induction cooktop together with gas cooktop ensures culinary excellence, while a generous walk in pantry provides abundant additional storage. Clever zoning places the living spaces away from the accommodation wing, offering harmony between entertaining and everyday family life. A dedicated home theatre with projector, block out curtains and stepped flooring promises an immersive cinematic experience. Privately positioned in the opposite wing, five spacious bedrooms (or 4 brms plus rumpus) cater beautifully to the growing family. The luxurious master retreat features a walk in robe and an oversized ensuite with double vanity and twin showers. Four additional bedrooms with built in robes are serviced by a stylish family bathroom complete with separate shower and deep soaking bath. A well appointed laundry with exceptional storage and a separate study nook further enhance the home’s practicality. Outdoors, native low maintenance landscaping frames the property, while a fire pit area sets the scene for cosy winter evenings under the stars. An oversized three car garage, ducted heating, split system heating and cooling, security systems and cameras, 2.7m ceilings, dual instant hot water services, and double glazing ensure comfort and 6 star efficiency throughout. Thoughtfully designed for both relaxed family living and grand scale entertaining, this exceptional back beach sanctuary delivers lifestyle, luxury and location in equal measure.
