23 Sherwood Forest Drive, Rye, VIC, 3941, Australia

Idyllically positioned on a 945-square-metre corner block within earshot of the ocean, this architect-designed single-level, 4-bedroom-plus-studio Rye coastal home has recently undergone an impressive refurbishment and offers relaxed yet refined family living, entertaining and holidaying.

Impeccably presented, the stunning timber and stone-brick home is set in low-maintenance landscaped gardens, including a fully fenced private backyard. Rich in architectural details including high coffered ceilings, Solar double glazed windows across home frontage and porthole window, the solidly built home’s recent enhancements include fresh painting and carpets throughout, an updated kitchen and laundry, plantation shutters, a new gas log fire heater and the installation of reverse cycle zoned heating and cooling and gas ducted heating.

Spotted gum flooring sweeps throughout the open-plan living area that connects to front and rear alfresco entertaining balconies, and a central stone/Blanco kitchen with island bench, walk-in pantry and gas cooktop. The versatile floorplan includes the second living/parents retreat, plus study/rumpus or a fifth bedroom/nursery zoned at the front of the home along with the main bedroom suite, which has a large walk-in robe and a spa ensuite. The additional three bedrooms, including a newly configured extra-large room all have built-in robes and are serviced by the main bathroom with built-in tub and walk-in shower.

Outside, bordered by lush greenery including native moonah trees, there is the main undercover alfresco dining deck with a ceiling fan, a private lawned courtyard, and the charming, detached studio/bungalow. Custom-designed to accommodate a large boat or caravan, the double remote-operated garage is extra high and includes a fully fitted workshop/utility room. There is also a parking bay at the front, plus off-street parking. Additional features include a newly installed back-to-base security system, and an abundance of storage, allowing for easy ‘lock up and leave’ capability.

Located within an easy walk to Rye’s No. 16 ocean beach, close to world-class golf courses, hot springs, and just a few minutes’ drive to Rye shopping and front beaches.
