2 Valley Drive, Rye

Take the grand ambitions of lead designer Craig Smart of Watson Young Architects, add the craftmanship of master builders SLR Concepts, and flawlessly execute on a striking hilltop site. The result? An extraordinary lifestyle residence – one of Rye’s finest, positioned only a 400m stroll to the beach and the village’s smorgasbord of dining options and convenience. Step inside and be captivated by the raw natural aesthetic featuring exposed steel beams and cedar timber windows, earthy tones from stunning Victorian Ash flooring, and luxurious finishes throughout. The lower level, offering a superb standard of zoned accommodation for extended family and guests, comprises an enormous family lounge/rumpus, three king-size bedrooms (all with built-in robes) and two designer bathrooms equally fitting of a luxury Brooklyn penthouse as they are here in the heart of the Mornington Peninsula. Upstairs brings effortlessly stylish zoned living flooded with natural light and stunning views from every vantage. A superb master suite features a luxurious bathroom with double vanity and walk-in-robe, with the ability to simultaneously soak in both the freestanding bath and those glorious vistas a clever touch. A fifth bedroom could double as a study, library or parents retreat. But the grandest statement is made with the open-plan kitchen, dining & indoor/outdoor living spaces. Home cooks will salivate over sleek black granite benches, Electrolux appliances & huge butler’s pantry, while an open fireplace and vast outdoor decking make for perfect all-season appeal. From here, rise through sculpted landscaping to a triumphant climax – a solar heated, self-cleaning oval swimming pool from which to breathe in majestic views to the city skyline. Here, like throughout this incredible property, you’re in rarefied air. Additional features include balconies to all bedrooms & living spaces (15 in total), reverse cycle ducted heating/ cooling and split systems throughout, ceiling fans, double tandem carport, 5000L water tank, double glazed windows throughout, golf putting green and provision for an elevator.
