12 Duntroon Avenue
Rye

Set amid a playground of enviable coastal spoils and just 450 metres to the bay, this long-held and much-adored classic family beach house is on the market for the first time in 30 years.

Spacious across two well-configured levels, awash in north-facing light, the residence boasts an expansive open-concept living and dining area with a copper-hooded fireplace, cocktail bar and large glass doors opening to a long deck with expansive views to Port Phillip Bay.

A large kitchen with convection oven, glass ceramic cooktop, dishwasher, step-in pantry and tiled drinks station provides the perfect dimensions for a potential update (STCA), yet is certainly functional as is, while a second living area on the lower level beside the junior bedrooms provides an ideal rumpus room for the kids.

The spacious master bedroom with built-in robes and glass doors to the south balcony is served by a private ensuite in this generous layout, which includes an ensuite-style bathroom off the guest room across the landing and a third bathroom downstairs with separate shower, toilet and vanity area.

Just a few minutes' drive to Rye town centre and a blissful 15 minute walk along the shore to Blairgowrie Village, the property is surrounded by golf courses, hot springs, wineries, surf breaks, yachting facilities and crystal coves of the Mornington Peninsula.

Ready for immediate enjoyment or with excellent bones to modernise, the property includes a crafting room off the laundry, split-system heating and air conditioning, a double garage and garden terrace backdropped by lavender, lemon trees and beautiful bay breezes.
